re: Washington Man Cries For Help as He's Beaten to Death By Police

Not watching the video, but I just had a training class on excited delirium and how to handle it (due to the increasing cases of bath salt incidents). What is being described in the OP sounds like someone that could be in the beginning stages of ED or cocaine psychosis. The preferred metthod? Swarming with multiple officers - including a Taser - then cuffing and getting EMS treatment ASAP. The use of officers body weights to restrain the subject is the important concept.

The only FACT quoted in the OP - not subjective statements by possibly anti-cop bystanders - is the medical report showing no blows to the head. This directly contradicts the bystanders' statements. Sadly, the guy was most likely past the point of saving before cops even showed up.

I'm sure if tox reports come back saying this guy was on salts, plus the apparent lack of head trauma, all the cop bashes will apologize to the police officers.

(Ok, just watched the video. What the heavyset lady described is practically a textbook ED encounter - the delusional, paranoid statements, the erratic movements. The audio also sounds much like an ED subject. One criticism I have for the cops if this was an ED encounter is the use of impact weapons. ED subjects have no or little pain sensation rendering pain compliance techniques ineffective)
