This is just outrageous.
A black woman, a former Citigroup banker, was arrested for driving through Harlem in her BMW. When she went to pick up her car the next day, she was confronted by the police as being delusional, and put in a psych ward.
Read over the fold for why.
The policemen, and later the doctors, refused to believe that she was a successful banker. They did not call her company to confirm. When she told them that President Obama follows her on Twitter, they sedated her. In fact, they drugged and sedated her for 8 days. Her treatment plan includes the following:
Objective: Patient will verbalize the importance of education for employment and will state that Obama is not following her on Twitter" and "patient weaknesses: inability to test reality, unemployment."
At no point did they check her public twitter feed. Or make any other effort to verify her employment.
After 8 days, they handed her a $13,000 medical bill.
She is now suing.
Cops couldn't believe she's a business woman
