  • Excited Delirium

    First time listener to the podcast. Like the in depth analysis. E D seems like a very convenient entity/excuse for police to use that in their report (BTW How can a human exhibit “superhuman” qualities?) If that is really a “thing,” if a person were to be exhibiting that behavior, and the police did not intervene (i.e) put a knee on the person’s neck, would the person still have died?
