[Illusion]

“Excited delirium” is the name given to a condition in which a person, either as a result of mental illness or protracted use of stimulants such as cocaine or methamphetamines, becomes extremely violent; hyperaggressive; and is often found naked, agitated, incoherent, feverish, and displaying extraordinary strength.

Background: So about 4-8 mins before the police arrived , this man was inside the McDonalds located in Riverdale MD on Kenilwoth Ave.

When I first noticed him, he was just talking to himself. After not paying attention to what he was saying, he began to bang on his table like if it were drums and was doing it a bit too loud.

I had just assumed he was a person of special needs maybe and once again, didn't pay attention. He soon started punching his table like if it were a person and knew, he was becoming aggressive and an endangerment to the public's safety.

My mom had asked an employee at this point if they had called the police and they had responded saying "yes, they're en route."

He soon gets up and starts arguing with himself and acts like he wants to fight with someone who was in front of him and goes up against a wall and starts shouting.

He takes off his shirt and starts walking around which endangers the public a lot more because we don't know if he's going to hurt someone because this man already seemed agitated.

At this point he starts throwing chairs to the ground and slammed a wet floor sign to the ground and pushing chairs.

McDonald's was pretty packed as well considering most people were getting out of work and school and there was quite a bit of children (including my 2 younger siblings) and a group of elderly people.

When the police arrive, he was ordered on the ground and I knew right there, to take out my phone and start recording. During the moment i had forgotten to turn my phone sideways which is why its at that angle so i do apologize for that.

After he was detained, his legs were soon in cuffs and had a human muzzle it seemed like because he was still shouting and screaming.

The ambulance arrived probably about 2 or 3 mins later after he was detained. He was then transported to a DC hospital. After all, he was tased 3 times, maced about 4 times, hit with the baton twice, tackled to the wall, and almost had his arm broken when being detained.

Throughout the whole incident, this man showed NO sign of giving up and was resisting arrest. It seemed clear after being tased for the first time that this man WAS ON DRUGS. Most likely PCP.

I commend the officers for stopping him before he could hurt someone and danger the public.

[AceGoober]

Fuck...he must have had a severe case of the munchies.

And you would probably still get someone come along and say they used too much force, or expect them to arrest him by tickling him or something.

I love how the cop pulls up his pants after he's cuffed

Clearly if this man had been black instead of Mexican(?) CNN would have called that an attempted murder instead of an arrest.

[nyazzip]

jesus those cops are sad, incompetent pussies. useless fucking sad sacks.

[SloppyDrunk]

Unfortunately videos like this don't make it onto CNN where the police show incredible restraint with an almost invincible druggie. Guess there's no room for this on sensationalist news outlets.
