i would thank the doctor and the police for all their hard years of service and let them know it was an honest mistake. i would tell them how much we, the citizens, appreciate the wonderful job they do.

I just heard the actual news report and see why some ppl have this attitude thats its fine- the guy was aboriginal!

unless the hospital has any reason to dispute the identity the police provide why would they even question it?

I don't understand this thread.
Why couldn't the guy the cops picked up calmly explain that he wasn't the person they were after?

Surely he would have had some ID on him or was he some incoherent drunk they found in a park?

i observe you being a scared little bunny

i do not need to be so fearful as you

i do not have the same sychophantic displays

and longing for submission as you do

i am not you and your worry of fear

i am that i am in the light and not of your helplessness

you may think you have to be this helpless

relying on police to wipe your fearful bottom

.....that is not me

be at peace

You ppl have no idea about real-life do you. The police just automatically decided he was the guy and ignored his protests to the contrary. Prolly didnt even ask his name. They take him to hospital and hospital policy is believe the police even if you know its not true. Doublethink. Doesn't matter how much the guy protests theres no way anyone is going to believe him if the police said something different. He prolly was calmly telling them he wasnt who they said he was - @ least until they started drugging him. There was no way they were going to listen. I have worked in the field and i have seen this crap before. They always take the police word for it and never question even if they know the police are wrong. Its policy.

The problem is that sometimes the police are wrong and since they can (in some states) just throw ppl into those places on a whim there should be some checks and balances.

unfortunately, as usual , you are 100 % wrong

you are the one that has no idea how the real world operates.

in the army when someone dies, we dont have a witch hunt run by government fat cat lawyers and bureaucrats.
in the army we reward good behaviour with medals.

in hospitals and the police force which are areas where rapid decision making (usually on incomplete or incorrect information) is required, the situation is very similar to a field of battle.

cops, doctors are rapidly processing information and making decisions all day long. it is NOT the equivalent of a job packing cartons.
mistakes are inevitable, perfection is impossible.

this is very similar to the army.

to maintain morale and get the best out of people, they CANNOT be made to feel that someone is constantly monitoring them, waiting to pounce on every mistake or guess what , they shut down.

you see this already in health and the ploice.

people who move slowly, have lost their drive., would rather write parking tickets than attend a violent robbery.

the cops and dcotors who put themselves out there for the good of the community should be rewarded with a medal (a carrot), not an inquisition ( a stick)

the carrot is always a more effective motivator of good performance than a stick.

you dont understand people spot,  they arent like trekkies you know
