Refugee Center in Germany Reports Floyd-like Incident
The German police's restraint of a 26-year-old refugee inside a shelter in Mühlheim resulted in his death. He was placed face down for at least 12 minutes while attempts were made to control him during a severe mental health crisis. Imaging analyses revealed that police used pressure techniques on his back and shoulders, leading to suffocation and cardiac arrest, despite prior police instructions warning against keeping restrained individuals in a prone position for extended periods due to the risk of suffocation. The young man died after being transferred to the hospital. The police face charges of bodily harm, and experts compare the incident to similar cases in Germany, emphasizing that these practices represent a recurring pattern of errors that threaten lives.
