was your uncle spending the night in the cells, then? gee you make a lot of sense.
im glad he had a great time though - but after all, the topic is 'what do you think of the police?', not 'what do they think of their own job?'
btw i wasn't drunk or disorderly so don't really know why you felt the need to mention that... pointless snipe, yet again.
Its a general point. People who were drunk or drugged up were, on average, treated exactly the same. They were processed, cleaned if necessary, and put to bed in a cell. That extended to disorderly souls. Unless the perp was being particularly aggressive toward the officers he would be handled calmly and without a problem. By comparison your description seems more akin to the arrest scene in Rambo, which presents the view that the police picked you up for no reason and bunged you in a dungeon. If I recall what you originally said happened, you were wandering around the house with a knife as a result of an OD. Whether the substance was legal or not, the police can't know until they investigate it. They're not clairvoyant, and they'll react to events as they appear.
