The cell is probably 6'x 8'. They shouldn't be taking the cuffs off of him until he was willing to lay still and comply. If he wasn't struggling with them, there would have been no need for them to hold him down to begin with. He was on cocaine and PCP, and was picked up because he was disturbing the peace at a gas station. It would be nice to see a video of that, plus what occurred when the cops arrived to apprehend him. He was probably cuffed at that time. There's also no report on what he was doing in the police car on the way to the station. I'm sure if this goes to the grand jury or trial, this info will be introduced.

The effects of PCP are as follows:

"Physiological effects of PCP include a slight increase in breathing rate and a more pronounced rise in blood pressure and pulse rate. Respiration becomes shallow, and flushing and profuse sweating. At high doses of PCP, there is a drop in blood pressure, pulse rate, and respiration. This may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, flicking up and down of the eyes, drooling, loss of balance, and dizziness. High doses of PCP can also cause seizures, coma, and death (though death more often results from accidental injury or suicide during PCP intoxication). Psychological effects at high doses include illusions and hallucinations."

Most important: "In a hospital or detention setting, they often become violent or suicidal, and are very dangerous to themselves and to others. They should be kept in a calm setting and should not be left alone."
