The well-being of the man in custody was the police's responsibility, just like it's an EMT's responsibility to get a patient to the hospital while doing everything they can to keep them stable and save their life if need be--period. There were things that didn't happen that aren't being made apparent to the public just yet that brought about those charges, and although it seems like they might be difficult to stick and bring about a conviction, I'd wager SOMEONE gets in trouble for SOMETHING, which I hope is more than a slap on the wrist and firings.
