Woman held 8 days in NYC psych ward for saying Obama followed her on Twitter — even though he does

A Long Island woman was detained in a Harlem mental institution for eight days for claiming, among other things, that President Barack Obama followed her on Twitter — even though he does.

According to The Daily News‘ Stephen Rex Brown, last year Kam Brock attempted to retrieve a car that the New York Police Department had seized.

When she walked into the NYPD’s Public Service Area 6 stationhouse, she was, by her own admission, “emotional,” but insisted that she was by no means “emotionally disturbed.”

The NYPD disagreed — they handcuffed her and sent her to the hospital.

Daily news link below.

The cops seized her car because they thought she was high. Even though a search yielded nadda.
she went to get her car the next day and as a way to show she is responsible, claimed Obama followed her on twitter. She thought they would actually use a brain cell and come to the conclusion the president would not follow a crazy person. Instead they arrested her.

She also was not believed when she told them she worked at a bank- she does.

from the Daily News

A “master treatment plan” from Harlem Hospital backs up the Astoria Bank worker’s story.

“Objective: Patient will verbalize the importance of education for employment and will state that Obama is not following her on Twitter,” the document reads.

It also notes “patient’s weaknesses: inability to test reality, unemployment.”

And they will continue their crime spree until we vote in court officials that are willing to stop them.

Make no mistake. This is nothing but criminals abusing their authority to punish an innocent person.
