Biden and Harris Lunch ad on police violence against Black Americans

TriggerWarning:

Not even remotely true. Every crime is down dramatically from the 80’s to mid 90’s. Case in point: Total murders were over 2000 during most of the 80’s and first four years of the 90’s. They’ve been below 700 since 2012.

I was razzing the OP who made that claim in a different thread.

Our system of policing is out of control.

Thanks to a pat on the head for criminals, it isn’t our policing system that is out of control but the criminals.

Video in Black man's suffocation shows cops put hood on him

A Black man who had run naked through the streets of a western New York city died of asphyxiation after a group of police officers put a hood over his head, then pressed his face into the pavement for two minutes, according to video and records...

Turnout maybe

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 have to say I find this one strange. He was on PCP, he said he had the 'Rona, he was out in the cold naked and he died 7 days later in a hospital of asphyxiation?

I’m pretty sure extrajudicial execution is an extreme punishment for running around being crazy.

The police had previously taken him in for a mental health evaluation. His family also stated the man had starting developing psychological issues after the deaths of some in his family.

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

Well, you cannot really rely on what someone on PCP says. At least that is my opinion.

Hospitals are known to restrain the unruly. Given he was arrested, I’d imagine he would be under restraints in the hospital.

I have no idea what drug withdrawal in a hospital entails. However, I do know that people die from drug and alcohol withdrawal if not handled properly.

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.
