Sgt. James Brown, 26, Survived Two Tours in Iraq Only to Die Begging for His Life in Texas Jail

I don't blame the family in the least bit for suing the jail for this heinous act of stupidity.

Reminder that cops are not your friend. Especially if you're back.

If these facts are accurate, someone acted in a truly negligent manner here. The complaint of coughing up blood with significant shortness of breath should have at least triggered a call to a medical provider under any protocols I have ever heard of. Failing to do so suggests a failure to follow protocol, if the protocol did not exist, the failure to have such a protocol is in and of itself a failure in my opinion as a medical health professional.
