The claim is that the cops suffocated him to death.

HE WAS TALKING THE WHOLE TIME.

There's a reason the press is HIDING the medical report from you.

They're going to ambush @realDonaldTrump with this #FakeNews.
THIS IS THE SPIT HOOD THEY USED.

It's made of mesh.

So:

He was talking until he went unconscious, and he was wearing a mesh hood.
Here's the relevant part of the medical examiner's report.
"Homicide" means "death caused by humans."

His IMMEDIATE death was caused by humans restraining him, but the "complications" are ALL FATAL.

Let's list them.
Bilateral organizing bronchopulmonary pneumonia.
Acute myocarditis.
Severe respiratory acidosis (clinical history).
Profound global hypoxic ischemic injury (clinical history).
I. Cerebral edema.
II. Subfalcine and transtentorial herniation
History of physical restraint in prone position (incident report)

(Skip.)

B. Agitation and combative behavior
Acute phencyclidine intoxication.
It's stunning that he was still alive.

He could've died at any moment.

The family said that the cops lynched him.

THEY OBVIOUSLY KNEW HIS SHOCKING MEDICAL HISTORY.

They are perfectly aware that Daniel Prude was terminally ill.

Let's go over what he had.
Bilateral organizing bronchopulmonary pneumonia.

NOT ASPIRATION PNEUMONIA.

He didn't get pneumonia from inhaling his own vomit.

It's caused by INFECTION, and it's CHRONIC.
Acute myocarditis.

Inflammation of the heart muscle.

SEVERE.

Caused by INFECTION OR ALCOHOL OR DRUGS.

His heart had been damaged FOR A LONG TIME.
Severe respiratory acidosis (clinical history).

A LONG-TERM condition caused by lung infections, COPD, sedative overdose, or cardiac arrest.
Profound global hypoxic ischemic injury (clinical history).
I. Cerebral edema.
II. Subfalcine and transtentorial herniation

Again, stunning that he was still alive.

He had a SEVERELY HERNIATED BRAIN. His skull was full of fluid that was causing massive pressure.
Subfalcine herniation and transtentorial herniation would in this case clearly have been caused by edema, chronic lung infection, and severe heart infection.

And the edema was caused by multiple long-term infections.
Agitation and combative behavior.

His damaged heart was racing, and his damaged lungs couldn't give him the oxygen he needed for his heart and herniated brain.
Acute phencyclidine intoxication.

He was massively high on PCP.

Angel dust.

It causes ELEVATED BLOOD PRESSURE, A RACING HEART, AND IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT.

More stress to his severely damaged heart.

AND.
Irregular heartbeat is arrhythmia.

"Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a condition in which the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating due to a malfunction in the heart’s electrical system. The malfunction that causes SCA is a life-threatening abnormal rhythm, or arrhythmia."
@realDonaldTrump, as you said, we need to reopen the state and federal mental institutions.

We also need to repeal laws that ban involuntary commitment.

Deinstitutionalization has FAILED.

The press will not stop. @RochesterNYPD did absolutely nothing wrong.
But now the attempted overthrow of the entire country will continue.

Everyone is in an impossible situation. Families, cops, communities all suffer because currently there are no solutions.

You cleaned up the VA, so you can make psychiatric hospitals pleasant and humane.
None of this is your fault, of course, but your enemies are destroying everything they can.

I trust you to fix this.
