Reply #74: Your assumption was not that at all. [View All]

" I can't see the police just murdering someone for fun" assumes that killing this woman required a deliberate act. I too doubt that they killed her for fun, but I am reasonably sure that they killed her. As you say, an autopsy will show the cause of death. It is unlikely to be 'strangulation by sitting on a bench in handcuffs', it could be some internal malfunction - heart attack, stroke, etc except we have the other bit of data that she strangled. Either she strangled herself or the police strangled her. I vote for the police strangled her by accident while restraining her and either didn't notice she was dead or near dead, or did notice and decided to pretend they didn't notice. I doubt an autopsy will settle that issue.
