Is there a less vague excerpt you could post to get one to click the msm site for hits?

Woke CYA.
Tell that to any urban LEO.
I’m too tired to find the studies that were the genesis for excited delirium which, ironically, were meant to identify subjects which required different handling (and training) by police.
Worse than woke, by removing the condition as criteria for a violent subject, use of force criteria are the only remaining options (assuming responding officers aren’t social workers) and, ultimately, injury & death of mostly minority subjects.
Gee: I wonder what the motivation is here...
Re: Click to MSN.com
MSN.com is a news aggregator.
They paid NBC News for the publishing rights to this story.
The number of people at Free Republic - like Deaf Smith - who do not understand this business model is very depressing.
There is no psychiatric diagnosis of “excited delirium.” The term appears to be made up by lawyers for forensic purposes. That may make it a term of art but it has no scientific validity.
You should know this.
Why would I excerpt any more than is necessary?
Headline - plus, a clarifying sentence.
Independent and Conservative news web sites apparently allow Free Republic to excerpt entire stories.
Try that with a corporate MSM website, and Free Republic will be served with a Fair Use lawsuit almost instantly.

Individuals in emotional distress because of mental illness or emotional distress because of drugs (coupled with mental illness) has been documented for decades. There are accounts of people having "super human" strength when they're confronted or feel trapped.
The usually suspects want to shift the focus from a real event (excited delirium) to 'racist cops killing innocent people of color'.
This report was put out by the 'Physician for Human Rights'. Their name implies a bias and a narrative.
I don’t understand either headline or topic sentence.
The context of all these phrases is unclear to me. Interesting, yes, but unclear.
As though the conclusions are being presented before the issue.
It’s not a made up term. It’s real.
Types of Delirium
Hypoactive delirium —> lethargic, sleepy, withdrawn. Seen in encephalopathy (hepatic, metabolic) and benzo intoxication.
Hyperactive delirium —> agitated, hallucinations, delusions, often seen in withdrawal syndromes. Often have a mixed type that alternates between agitated and quiet.
Scary real also. My wife was hospitalized for a sepsis infection and on some very powerful meds. On the fourth day she started suffering what was diagnosed as “Hospital Delirium”
A very frightening event to watch. It peaked when she was in the ICU and lasted just over a day. What was surprising was that the hospital staff did not know what it was and just considered and treated her as a mental problem.
Destroy the legal defense, and you can put lots of cops in jail.
I assume George Soros or a political colleague is funding the physicians group that is trying to debunk it.
Sorry - I follow this kind of legal stuff closely, so I assumed that other Freepers would know what this is all about, too.
10. Don’t have my notes right now but PHRs might be a successor to the Communist Party created Medical Committee for hUman Rights of old CPer Dr. Quentin Young, for decades one of Obama’s personal doctors.
See if a Himmelfarb is a leader of PHRs. CP front guy in the medical field. Should be referenced by group or individual names at WWW.keywiki.org and www.DiscoverTheNetworks.org.
If the “diagnosis” were in the context of receiving treatment in a hospital, they are correct.
But the context here is the words used to describe the behavior of a suspect that warrant different treatment by the officers on the scene.
When dealing with such an individual, I imagine the officers are often unable to have a long conversation with dispatch so a quick description works best.
If doctors don’t like the terminology, too bad.
Thanks for explaining.
You’ve provided a “door” into the discussion with that clarifying remark.
increased strength, incoherence and other behaviors — “cannot be disentangled from its racist and unscientific origins.”

So they are saying that it is a racial issue that some persons are stronger and dumber than others?
Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) was founded in 1986 by Boston physician Jonathan E. Fine, who had traveled to Chile in 1981 to help secure the release of doctors there imprisoned by Pinochet. He traveled at the request of John Womack, Jr., a Marxist historian from Harvard. His delegation included James S. Koopman of the University of Michigan. Their trip was supported by five groups, including the American Public Health Association and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (need to identify the other three).
PHR cofounders included Dr. H. Jack Geiger, Dr. Jane Green Schaller, Dr. Robert Lawrence, and Dr. Carola Eisenberg. H. Jack Geiger was a long-time Marxist activist who started his career with A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin the 1940s and cofounded Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR) in Boston in 1961. He was also president of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War.
Schaller took up human rights activism in the 1980s while at Tufts University of School of Medicine in Boston. Lawrence was a Harvard graduate and later staff member. Eisenberg was originally from Argentina and participated in human rights missions to Chile, El Salvador, and Paraguay while on the staff of Harvard Medical School.
There seems to be a lot of overlap with the SANE-FREEZE network in Boston—same territory as the VMC and John Kerry in his early career.
I assume there’s some link to Quentin Young and the Medical Committee for Human Rights (MCHR), but don’t see anything specific offhand, other than the MCHR and Geiger both being involved in Freedom Summer in 1964. They’re certainly using the same organizational model.
Also, PHR gets funding from Soros.
