A daily mail (yes, the "trustworthy" daily mail) have leaked bodycam footage of George Floyd's execution and the posts are filled with reactionaries and outright Nazis now. Just avoid reddit for today, it's not worth it.

    How weird! I'm 2 years into med school and I've never heard of "excited delirium syndrome." I wonder how these cops have more medical training than me?

    A quick search shows that "ExDS" is not recognized as an actual medical condition. So now we have people trying to justify the use of deadly force via a bogus medical condition, huh? This is like, half a step away from using old phrenology "science" to justify deadly force.

    "Well the suspect was a black male, and as we all know, their temporal lobes are slightly more rounder, which impinges on their amygdala and causes them to act violently, thus justifying me shooting them in the back 22 times. Sorry libs, this is just science!"
