(9,527 posts)The video of the hallway (and if it's been tampered with), the testimony of the EMTs and if any of the other prisoners were close enough to see/hear anything will all be very useful.
That said, she never should have been in that situation. While she could have responded to the cop better, he's the one being paid to be a public servant and in theory has training/experience in how to deal with that situation, of which he exhibited none. So even if it turns out that she did commit suicide unrelated to any potential injury caused by the cop, or more directly murdered in the jail cell, he is ill-suited to be a cop and there should be a charge of police misconduct, although I'm doubtful there will be one unless he caused an injury that could have led to her death such as a concussion or something similar.
