My brother MANY Nigerians are suffering from that disorder but to us 'e no mean anything' If our ilnness is not malaria and typhoid, it is no problem.

How many Nigerians have ever taken drugs for DEPRESSION? But many depressed individuals are occupying big offices and their actions and inactions will confirm that they are depressed and need to be in homes.

And they self medicate with alcohol.

He had bipolar disorder....which means he could go from being SEVERELY angry to being SEVERELY joyful in minutes. And sometimes extremely paranoid.(Anecdote....I spent several weeks working as a medical student in a psych hospital....not for the weak minded!)

Plus...I daresay facilities for mental treatment in his locality were limited....so it was the Police station that had to be his hospital (A sad state of affairs in most American cities).And police men are not trained mental health professionals. Plus...he did attack three of them....and sadly the police had to act as policemen (Unless you want them to magically become medics).

Racism exists in America....I am not naive...but this has plenty to do with the way mental health in the US is....good in some spots...bad in others. And this is not the first time something like this has happened.


Obviously, someone with mental issues shouldn't be kept in police custody in the first place, once that has been certified. But since you said they don't have facilities for folks with mental health in America, they should've just left him alone in isolation, without excessive force.

He's a victim of police brutality, and that's what the case should be about. Hence there's a cover-up about what led to his death, and also the reason why his parents are fighting for him. In policing, there's something called "measured force." And once they've ascertained that he had mental health problems (vulnerable cos in every society - minors, seniors, and folks with mental health problems are the most vulnerable people), they should have put him in a cell by himself, without troubling him. But they killed this guy - the same way they killed Eric Garner - and it's unacceptable.

They snuffed life out of him

Perhaps its another black kid being killed as it is what's trending in US

If they know his name , then they already had his medical record

He was killed because he became combative

BiPolar patients always have emergency record easily accessible by every enforcement agencies

Lie.

Prove it.

A patients medical record is confidential. Read up on HIPPA when you get a chance. Or not.

They are saying the guy was arrested for brutalizing his girlfriend. Some say he has polar bear syndrome. It must be the cold; eh ya but he broke a police woman's nose, that is a no no but oh well he died. Bring back the body for a befitting burial in Nigeria.

What am I really saying sef?

The biggest culprit is the mumu girlfriend that called the police for a man with a manic episode.

Unless she is white or spends all her free time watching E! she would have been following the news and known about the rise in the number of black men killed by police when doing nothing wrong or involved in petty misdemeanours (jaywalking/selling loosies)

Why the hell would any sensible black person in the US call the police on their loved one during a mental episode when stats show that 42% of those killed by police over a 12 year period had a form of mental illness.

A junior in secondary school...... Know him to his home here in Lagos. He was a good kid, very much into arts, I remember a year he came back to nigeria with his elder bro who happened to be my classmate n good friend. We all had fun, no violence, no police hitches. Behind the Savannah Police Dept story, we are waiting for that missing piece, they still don't wanna admit their wrongs!!, for a boy without any past criminal/violent record even in the US. I hope the autopsy tells us all.
RIP Alex, Mathew Ajibade!!!

Well...the girlfriend was being attacked by the man....and if she had kept quiet...she possibly would have been killed.

It does happen,you know.

It isn't the drug that had effect on him, you can see from the post that he was suffering from Bipolar disorder which causes mood swings.

I read the post before commenting men....Am sure u really dnt understand what am trying to say....So read my comment and try to see what am trying to say. U need to understand that sometimes we African can't use certain strong drugs like the white people because of the negative side effects.


Body system defers man...Bcus it works for Mr A those it mean it will work for Mr B......I think that same reason the officers wouldn't easy confirm he was having a strong negative effect on d drugs he took. Some Bipolar Patient might not react same extreme violent way he reacted.

Well , as far as I know , any 911 call in which the name of suspect is mentioned , the police automatically reserves the right to check record , not only for medical records but also to check if suspect has criminal record , if he's dangerouz or high risk. On that profile any patient with a severe medical record is automatically flagged

I'm pretty sure his college has his medical record too , ask around you'll see its true

Cops have a duty to protect themselves too. I see no trend or epidemic.

You can go ahead and cite any case you want, it's not as if we're helping Seun pay for server space or bandwidth. Just don't expect it to mean anything to me.

He died in police custody is far different from he was killed by police.

I beleive that America has limited facilities for mentally ill people....as such, oftentimes it is the police who have to act as mental health professionals....which they are not. And this is not the first time such a disaster has happened.

Decades ago...he would have been confined. However...the trend in America for several decades has been towards community centric care for mentally ill people. As a result....he was taking the drugs on his own. And once he loses insight....ie thinks he does not need the drugs again (a common problem among mentally ill people)...disaster happens.

I don't follow , do you think the police would have had access to his medical records and would have called in the appropriate medical/ health department after he was arrested / detained or even before they arrive on scene could they have checked his records ?

It's not true.

Criminal record is in police database, private medical record is not.

Please educate yourself.

If he was about to be booked by cops in Nigeria and he became combative ; what do you think would have happened to him ?
RIP YoungBlood

The good thing about Nigeria is that...no sane Nigerian will become combative with a Nigerian cop. cool
