Excited Delusion

by digby

Well gosh. It looks like another appeals court bought the medical voodoo called “excited delirium” and threw out another taser case. (Excited delirium is a strange new disease that only affects people who are in police custody.)

At some point in the future this will be looked back on as yet another in a long line of primitive and cruel (and deadly) ways of dealing with the mentally disturbed. For all of our modern technology, when you come down to it we are a still an unevolved species if this is the best we can do.
