Disturbing footage shows a terrified autistic 19-year-old desperately asking cops to listen to him before he hit his head repeatedly and died in custody.
Isaiah Trammell, was taunted, belittled and threatened by nine guards as he begged for his medication at the Montgomery County Jail in Ohio in March, 2023.
In surveillance videos obtained by The Columbus Dispatch, officers are seen telling the autistic man he was 'ridiculous,' 'embarrassing' and 'acting like an a**.'
Trammell was strapped into a restraint chair twice and threatened a third time if he did not calm down.
Unable to calm himself, Trammell proceeded to bang his head on the cell door as he desperately screamed: 'Let me out'
No one listened as Trammell asked for his medications, a phone call and a blanket, according to the Dispatch.
Less than 10 hours after he arrived in jail, Trammell was being taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
Trammell died three days later, with the coroner ruling it a suicide.
The young man had been banging his head repeatedly before he was booked and throughout the night.
He told police head-banging was 'the only way I know to get rid of the crazy in my head.'
Trammell's mother Brandy Abner told The Columbus Patch that Trammel had a history of banging his head as a coping mechanism.
Previously, his family had called for help and he had stared in the hospital for days.

Exactly.
There is no way to handle someone like this without a doctor hitting them with Ativan.
They wouldn’t give him his medication. They ridiculed him. They stripped him naked, in spite of his objections.
Basically they treated him as if he was an animal like they are. BAsic common courtesy and human respect is apparently too much to ask.
We knew this from what the J6 defendants have had to deal with, but it shakes me to the core to think of these animals doing these things to a vunlerable young person.
“IMO, it’s hard to fake autistic or other “acting out” mental health behavior.”
Reddit and TikTok are full of self-diagnosed “autistics” who need R-muffs and can never work at a job due due to “autism burnout”. A majority of them seem to be using Weed.
Why are you pro-police?
Do you choose to live in an area where you believe the police will protect you from the people you choose to live around?
I’m no more pro-police than I am pro-mailman. They perform a perfunctory task (sometimes writing tickets or taking reports after a crime) just like mailmen do (delivering unwanted ads, bills and sometimes letters to my house). I could live without either of them.
Then again, I choose to live around civilized, first world people of European decent so I don’t need the cops to protect me from them.
My sister is also very pro-police. She chooses to live around animals. A couple months ago, her car was hit by 4 of them in a traffic accident. They were clearly high on marijuana. When the police arrived, they said they don’t write tickets or creates reports on traffic accidents any more. The “teens” now deny it was their fault and their insurance is not paying for her damages.
Did you miss all the police kneeling for George Floyd and arresting people for not wearing masks?
Which is all he was asking them to do. And they wouldn’t.
SPIT!!!!
There used to be padded cells - I would think for this very reason. He could have slammed his head into a pillow as much as he wanted.
The kid murdered by the cops was white. When do we get to loot and burn down police stations?
I live in a red town in a red state. There are bad cops a good cops. I’m not throwing the baby out with the bath water.
The police can’t conjure a doctor out of thin air. Now, if we allowed police to administer powerful sedatives, that would fix it.
I would like to see the toxicology report on the teen. It wouldn’t surprise me if it had some surprises.
And why are they always mentally able to commit crimes?
“Officers booked Trammell when they discovered he was wanted on an outstanding misdemeanor domestic violence warrant. He had allegedly been abusive to his sister and her husband. “
Also he had been banging his head on the wall and that’s why police were called in the first place.
I presume he had medications at home that could have been used.
Simply treating him with respect instead of the things they did that only aggravated the situation would have helped.
The sedative question would have helped George Floyd too. But the race-baiters insisted that the police would use it more on Blacks than on non-Blacks. Never mind that more Blacks present as in need of it, and their lives could be saved by it.
I don’t know, AppyPappy. I think this world might just be too messed-up for anything good to come of it. Maybe this young victim is better off. I hope he knew Christ. But I wouldn’t want my worst enemies to have to go through what his parents are suffering.
Yeah, the 95% bad cops give the 5% a bad name...
Too late, they have been.
I have an autistic relative. I stand by my remarks.
I’m pro cop. But these nine animals need to be slaughtered like the pigs they are.
Nutcase? True-blue nutter? Asylums?
Let me tell you an anecdote. Anthony Hopkins, the two-time Oscar and Emmy winner who was knighted by Queen Elizabeth, was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. When he was young, he was in a crazy production of a play called The Architect and the Emperor of Assyria with a director who crossed the line into abusiveness. There’s a book about this called Stage Managing Chaos.
What did Hopkins do when he was overwhelmed by this abusive director and this truly bizarre production? He started banging his head repeatedly on the wall until his co-star noticed blood running down his face. Now Anthony Hopkins is undeniably a very successful actor, composer, and painter and can function just fine under normal, acceptable circumstances. Maybe the solution isn’t asylums but just not overwhelming and abusing autistic people.
#35 is for you as well.
I have a son who is genius-level intelligent who is on the autism spectrum. When he was in grade school the other kids used to try to get him to react, and when he couldn’t take it any more and barked back in response to their barbs he was always the one to get in trouble, not them.
He takes no medications and there is nothing crazy about him, at all. But if you took his clothes off of him, inundated him with sensory overhoad, and refused to listen, then YOU are the crazy one who should be locked up. I homeschooled him in high school after his teacher and principal not only required him to try to use MSM sources rather than scientific ones to support his term paper but also flat-out said they didn’t care that they were causing him to lose his will to live. NO WAY were they going to let him get past the MSM monopoly in a high school classroom and actually teach genuine journalism instead of the yellow journalism they rely on. They would no more be honest than they would be life-affirming.
I lost my husband a year ago to dementia due to heavy metal poisoning 8 years after I was told by Deep State thugs that he would need to lose his job to stop me from exposing government crimes. I know how medications affect people dealing with brain injuries and illnesses. Goof up the medications and you can very easily be dealing with violent behavior, through no fault of the person doing it. This young man was vulnerable but he still knew he needed his medications. I can’t help but wonder why he reached that point; did his prescription run out? Did he give himself the medications, or did somebody else, and they were not there to give him the meds? What exactly happened?
I’m not fighting you. Your comment after the one I initially responded to showed me that you do have an understanding of the issues. I’m just angry, angry, angry about how people are victimized by the very people who act as if they have the moral high ground. They are the ones who should wish they were “crazy” instead of just putrescence-level evil.
Training would probably help but especially after hearing what J6 prisoners have been through I suspect that at least some evil masochists are drawn to law enforcement and find very welcoming homes within the criminal justice system.
Amen, friend!
