NYPD Puts Woman In Psychiatric Ward Because They Were Skeptical About Her Claims

This is not an unique event. When police determine a person is an EDP (emotionally disturbed person) they do not believe what the person says. It is worse when a patient in a psychiatric hospital. David Rosenhan conducted an experiment with graduate students. They were required to get themselves committed to a hospital and then get released. While inside the only ones who knew they were faking it were the other patients. The entire staff treated them as if they were insane.  

[From article]
As the New York Daily News reports, Kam Brock’s ordeal began when police seized her BMW on September 12 of last year. They claimed she was high on marijuana, but found no evidence to prove it. When she went to retrieve her car at NYPD’s Public Service Area 6 stationhouse in Harlem the next day, she was met with resistance.
Brock, an employee of Astoria Bank, admits she was “emotional” when she spoke with police–as a normal person might be when attempting to retrieve property police stole without justification. Police claim she was acting “emotionally disturbed.” As such, she claims they cuffed her, put her in an ambulance, and took her to the Harlem Hospital psych ward where doctors determined she was delusional and suffered from bi-polar disorder. She said,
Next thing you know, the police held onto me, the doctor stuck me with a needle and I was knocked out…I woke up to them taking off my underwear and then went out again. I woke up the next day in a hospital robe.
