How they died

Less-than-lethal force

When psychiatric patient Brinson, suffering from paranoia, bipolar disorder and delusions, predictably showed resistance to campus police, he was taken into a small room, restrained, and tasered three times. He died of the resulting medical crisis. The same department and officers would be involved in the criminal slaying of Samuel DuBose in July 2015.
