Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley has named a special prosecutor to review the death of a woman physically restrained by law enforcement at MetroHealth Medical Center in May.

The move comes after the county medical examiner, Thomas Gilson, ruled 39-year-old Tasha Grant’s death a homicide. Officials said the physical restraint caused Grant’s breathing to slow and, ultimately, her heart to stop.

The Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department is investigating Grant’s death. County officials declined to offer any additional information.

“She had no legs. Why would they restrain her down like that?”

Because USA is a sociopathic society, where egocentric sociopathy is seen as the ultimate expression of individual freedom. And there's an idea that might makes right, disregarding the obvious immorality of it.
And in this sociopathic society, police and "services" are among the worst, and they not only have no problems using excessive force, they feel entitled to do so, and the blame is 100% with the victim.

Normal people in USA are living in hell.
