Horrific conditions described in homeless man's death at Burlington County Jail
• The TrentonianIn December, a 75-year-old man who was believed to be homeless died in Burlington County Jail while strapped in a “turtle suit” and lying in a pool of urine and feces, according to a supervisor inside the facility.
I think that if you check around, there are loads of times that police allow or assist people in their dying. And I don't mean in some kind of gunfight or execution. I mean in simple life situations with people who might be termed "undesirables."
My question is, are police acting under orders from their city council or other governmental agencies?
Years ago there was a big drainage ditch between 48th St. and 48th Pl. in East Phoenix. You won't find that ditch there now, because about 15 years ago, big concrete drain tiles were placed there - big enough to drive a couple of small cars through - and the place, above, was made into a park.
About the time of the construction, there was a homeless guy who walked the streets of the area - filthy, smelled really bad, couldn't talk, but was not entirely incapable of self-care. By the time the drainage ditch construction was complete... that homeless guy has never been seen again. I just wonder.
Sorry. That drainage ditch listed below, was between Thomas and McDowell.
