1275: Hypocrite Oath
Daniel Prude Death, Spit Hoods, Excited Delirium
The death of Daniel Prude in police custody has been reported as a "suffocation" caused by a hood placed on his head. However, the device used was a standard "spit hood" designed to protect officers and EMTs from biohazards. Toxicology reports suggest Prude may have died from complications related to drug use and "excited delirium," a state often encountered by first responders dealing with overdoses.
