    That chair is to restrain violent intoixcated or psych cases. Eight hours is a violation of her rights by any standard.

    Hospitals, well the ones near me, are only allowed to use restraints on violent psych cases for four hours at a time without a medicla recheck.

    I suppose on the scale of malfeasance by the police this is par for the course. Hwoever it is impressive they were this open about it.
