Biden and Harris Lunch ad on police violence against Black Americans

Dem · 2020-09-03T23:20:55.331Z

DMK:

Dem:

He was brain dead when he reached the hospital. He “died” 7 days later when they took him of life support.

I wonder where he’d be if not for the PCP?

I wonder where we would be, if the cops hadn’t killed him? Maybe he could have gotten the help he needed, and seen a therapist?

The man was a danger to no one. The cops should have taken him to the back of a squad car. But no, they left a naked man, who was obviously having mental health issues, put a bag over his head, and held his head down on the pavement until he died.

Did they?

Dem:

They probably tried. But, people on PCP tend to be… unmanageable.

Dem:

But no, they left a naked man, who was obviously having mental health issues, put a bag over his head, and held his head down on the pavement until he died.

Um, no he did not die upon arrest.

Ingesting PCP is having a mental health issue?

DMK:

Did they?

Yes.

DMK:

They did not. I saw the video. He was actually cooperating with all their demands.

DMK:

Um, no he did not die upon arrest.

Ingesting PCP is having a mental health issue?

People with mental health issues often take drugs.

He lost consciousness in police custody, EMT tried to revive him but could not. He was brain dead by the time they reached the hospital.

Dem:

Yes.

No.

Dem:

Then show your work.

He made a choice. He paid the consequences.

Gee continuing your unbroken streak of never believing cops unjustified no matter who they kill or why.

Gee, given the choice of a dude high on PCP running around naked or the cops?

Yeah. Gonna have to go with the cops.

Or maybe the police can treat the people they interact with like fellow human beings

A person running naked through the streets is behaving like a human being?

Good Gawds do some folks have a low bar.

They are likely mentally ill and need more care than the average person.

What does that have to do with the police enforcing the law?

Dem · 2020-09-03T23:47:03.418Z

DMK:

Then show your work.

I don’t think I can post it. Nudity and a man dying. Do a search for Daniel Prude body cam.

DMK:

He made a choice. He paid the consequences.

No compassion for mentally ill? I take it you are ok with extrajudicial killings? Watch the video, the man was no danger to anyone.

Ben_Natuf · 2020-09-04T00:01:42.864Z

is that a hood, or one of the things they use when a perp is spitting on them?

DMK · 2020-09-04T00:18:26.308Z

Dem:

I don’t think I can post it. Nudity and a man dying. Do a search for Daniel Prude body cam.

Okay. Then why bring it up?

Dem:

No compassion for mentally ill?

I do have compassion for the mentally ill. You seem to be confusing what happens when a person consumes an illegal drug with being mentally ill.

Dem:

Watch the video, the man was no danger to anyone.

The one you cannot post here to support your argument?

Mentally ill determined by whom?

More “care”. What does that mean?

He was on PCP.

DMK:

Dem:

Mental illness can cause all sorts of erratic behavior. Yes, he should be treated with dignity and respect. He didn’t deserve to die the way he did.

The police need to be better.

Mental illness?

From the article posted:

A medical examiner concluded that Prude’s death was a homicide caused by “complications of asphyxia in the setting of physical restraint.” The report lists excited delirium and acute intoxication by phencyclidine, or PCP, as contributing factors.

The police aren’t mental health counselors. The guy was high on PCP and running through the streets naked.

He forfeited his own “dignity”.

Maybe the police should have started a bonfire with hot dog roast and they could have all been friends.

I like how we find out that someone is on drugs is a retroactive reason for the police to treat them poorly.

Both Biden and Harris support the BLM and would probably lunch with them

If you’re lunching with BLM don’t forget your hot sauce.

I’m sure the police have been around the block enough to know. Especially since he was running around naked.

Yes, he was a human being. What do you call a person with behavioral health issues?

He was on PCP.

One does not rule out the other.

Someone who might bite your face off because he took some bath salts…

They put a spit hood over his head. Its quite obvious many of you have never seen a spit hood. Its mesh and like mosquito webbing. It completely allows air through it and in no way restricts ones airflow. What it does do is stop spit. So its utterly irrelevant.

Then the guy was high on PCP and in excited delirium. What kills a person in excited delirium is their body overheating and shutting down. You can’t reason or talk to someone on PCP let alone on PCP and in ED and its imperative that you get them to medical treatment ASAP. In the meantime though you need to restrain them and keep them as inactive as possible as activity speeds up their system, further increases their temperature, and kills them quicker.

Not the cops fault in this case.
