Officers say the man was “in crisis” when he entered the restaurant and began throwing garbage cans and chairs. He also jumped up on the counter.The words "in crisis" are used by mental health professionals to create plausible deniability. Nobody could possibly have predicted...
The scared employees called 911 and evacuated the restaurant, but the man followed them, allegedly assaulting a female manager.
When officers arrived, they were able to get the suspect in handcuffs, but then, he collapsed (and died).
This man was obviously suffering from Septic Delirium, and if it were described as such people might be aware of this threat to society. The symptoms might be noticed and this man could have been treated sooner and possibly avoided this altogether. And if not, his dignity could be restored because his body would be inspected at autopsy for the fulminating abscess which made him insane. Currently, teeth are only examined cursorily, and nobody analyzes the relationship between sepsis and crime.
Yeah, it's bad. I once tore the blinds out of my windows and wanted to set the house on fire because I ordered the wrong ones.
I made myself sit on the floor and rock back and forth for three days instead.
Because I wanted to live long enough to know why.
Now I know. This is why.
