Judah.  Thank you! I'm in agreement with you. 

I believe that the opinion of the writer is somewhat valid but is stated as if his opinion is proven fact, not just his experience. I would have preferred that he say "I'm my humble opinion.". The potential for people that read it and are considering taking medication may change their minds now.

 Also, if the guy was taken to Providence he may have just been taken to the Psych ER. I don't remember if he was taken there as an arrestee or not. If he was taken to the PER then they normally have a visit with staff and are then observed. I don't think they are prescribed drugs. He may have gone to DO I to. Don't know.
