Reply to comment by Ordinary_Guitar_5074 in Opinion: Every CT officer needs crisis intervention team training by IndicationOver

Who are you referring to? And why? Are you denying the existence of excited delirium? Because the scientific community isn’t

“Excited delirium is not recognized by the World Health Organization, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Medical Association, and not listed as a medical condition in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or International Classification of Diseases. Dr. Michael Baden, a specialist in investigating deaths in custody, describes excited delirium as "a boutique kind of diagnosis created, unfortunately, by many of my forensic pathology colleagues specifically for persons dying when being restrained by law enforcement".”

Also most of the time when the police receive training in reaction to a bad incident the training usually focuses on how to get away with doing thing thing instead of how to avoid it. For instance in CT when the big thing going on was police officers demanding to see pistol permits without reasonable suspicion they didn’t teach them to stop violating people’s rights, they taught them to create the reasonable suspicion out of thin air.

Only the police can judge the police because only they understand right? Ha.

I can get a good look at a ribeye by sticking my head up a cow’s ass but I’d rather take the butcher’s word on it.

So you’re saying butchers know more about meat so therefore police are generally the experts on police?
