The Chicago PD has been accused of detaining and questioning people for hours without access to a lawyer. So far, no one has alleged physical abuse like the cases they just settled. The Guardian compared it to the CIA's "Black Sites" to hype the story, even though the CIA generally doesn't let you go the same day, among other differences. It's still super illegal and hosed up though.

It's not quite so much hype when one of the officers involved in it somehow went on to work in Guantanamo as an interrogator. The reporter wondering about that is how the story came to light.

Perhaps Chicago should be forthcoming with information about the place in any way to dispel such notions.

e: Also didn't at least one person die in custody? It also sounded like it was used, at least in part, to scare the gently caress out of people into giving officers actionable information to go after other people. Another not so hyped parallel with black sites.

The guy who died in custody died of a heroin OD. Maybe the cops had the coroner cover it up or refused adequate care, but people in custody dying of an OD isn't unheard of (854 cases in 12 years.) Still, we aren't talking about the basement of the Lubyanka here.

Letting someone die from a heroin overdose when http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naloxone exists is really loving cruel. You give someone a spritz of nasal spray and they live. Simple as that. To let someone in custody die of a heroin OD you basically have to watch them gradually stop breathing until they die and while you stand there and do nothing.

Yeah I trust the Chicago PD about as much as my great aunt Myrta who burned down her trailer for the insurance money. When I was living there, they had some officer who was drunk driving killed someone and then the rest of the PD tried to cover it up, but I could be getting that confused because CPD officers are drunk driving pretty much all the time.

And now this "we'll pay you 5million so we don't have to release the dashcam footage of us shooting a kid in the back" story should make you very fearful of living in Chicago especially while black.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A14936-2004Dec20.html

"FBI Agents Allege Abuse of Detainees at Guantanamo Bay"

FBI reports ranging well into 2004 alleging abuse.

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/feb/18/guantanamo-torture-chicago-police-brutality

When Zuley took over the Slahi interrogation in 2003 – his name has gone widely unreported – he designed a plan so brutal it received personal sign-off from then-US defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

“The way that he approached interrogations at Guantánamo,” Fallon said, “if that’s any reflection of what he did in Chicago, it would not surprise me that he’s got a few issues going on right now.”

e: So you know who Fallon is: Mark Fallon, the former deputy commander of Guantánamo’s now-shuttered investigative task force for the military commissions, said Zuley’s interrogation of Slahi “was illegal, it was immoral, it was ineffective and it was unconstitutional.”

So yeah, he was there during the period the FBI themselves were reporting torture and abuse. Read the articles, I guess?

Even the Fox News guests are going after that guy.

quote:

Former District Attorney Arthur Aidala has appeared on Fox News many times as an expert they call in to discuss legal matters. But recently, the former Senior Assistant District Attorney for Kings County, New York said something the network didn’t like very much.

Aidala said that through his dealings with the New York Police Department in the 1990s, he has concluded that the planting of a taser on Walter Scott, in a recently-released video of the controversial South Carolina police shooting, is not at all unusual. In fact, Aidala says that this is something of an “open secret” among law enforcement and is “standard operating procedure.”

...

But the video footage that was taken shows an officer who was very comfortable to shooting an unarmed man, and even more comfortable covering it up. It also showed a partner who did not miss a beat in covering for the shooter, and a department that scarcely questioned anything written in their police reports.

Aidala tells us we should not be surprised. This is the norm in policing – the rule, not the exception.

Unless there is some specific US case I'm unaware off you're quite wrong about some of what you have written about OD prevention and Naloxon.

1. You barely ever use a nasal spray to treat a suspected opioid overdose, IV injection is the preferred route as it is much faster acting. It needs to be fast acting because:

2. You use naloxon to get a patient to start breathing again, that is also why nasal naloxon can fail as it needs a patient to breathe.

3. A comatose person that has stopped breathing is not a "send an intern out to a local Walgreens or CVS" kind of situation, its a call EMS situation.

4. The nasal naloxon is part of a program to get naloxon to drug addicts that refuse to call 911 as a possible rapid first line of treatment. It should never be considered as a replacement of calling 911.

5. Naloxon only helps so much, it will not revive someone that was perceived to be drunk and asleep but turns out to have also ingested copious amounts of heroin.

I don't know how this person was treated, but even if the cops were adequately vigilant OD deaths can happen within 1 hour. A common occurrence in my local ED is drunks brought in by the police that take their entire stash of heroin while shuffling from the cops. If the cops miss this and the patient doesn't cooperate the normal but drunk and sleepy man can very suddenly slip away into a coma.

Please goons, don't go out to find naloxon if you or someone around you OD's. Go call emergency medical services.

:wtc: of course you shouldn't saunter down to Walgreens during a medical emergency. But if you are in a facility that expects a lot a drug users (like, I don't know, a secret prison?) send an intern to walgreens so you have Naloxone on hand. Just like you wouldn't go shopping on amazon for an AED while someone has a cardiac episode. You do that poo poo before hand if you care about the health and well being of the people at your facility.

A nalaxone nasal spray was developed recently and has started being distributed to police departments for beat cops to carry. The idea is that it's easy to use even for a layperson and can be given immediately while medical help is still on the way. It's already saved a bunch of lives.

That's pretty smart, I didn't know they started giving it to cops so thanks for that. The reason I hammer on calling EMS is that a lot of google educated recreational drug users buy naloxon and use it as a replacement for calling EMS when suspecting an overdoses. While it is a great working antidote, fact remains that even hospitals have opioid OD patients die while in their care.

I remember reading an article several years ago where a US Army officer said that when it came to cornering someone inside a house in Iraq, he was literally under stricter rules of engagement than the cops are. The army would surround the house and basically wait the guy out, and more often than not the dude would surrender within like 24 hours. If I remember right, actually breaking into the house was considered extremely risky and a last resort, and he'd have to get permission from further up the chain of command to do so.
