Woman Says Police Caused Miscarriage

This is a 25 minute video of the police stop. I reposted it after the first upload failed.

A woman who miscarried her fetus a day after she was thrown in jail is suing the police department and two arresting officers who ignored her pleas for medical help. A police videotape released Tuesday shows Sofia Salva telling officers numerous times last Feb. 5 that she was three months pregnant, bleeding and needed to go to a hospital. After the ninth request, the tape shows, a female officer asked: "How is that my problem?"

Salva was held overnight on traffic violations and outstanding city warrants. After being released the next morning, she suffered a miscarriage, according to the lawsuit filed Friday in Jackson County Circuit Court.
