Gonna be a mess - got an excuse to agitate

The police didn't dope anyone up. And from what source did you learn McClain was autistic?

It was directed by LE to EMS resulting from an unnecessary escalation that led to a classic spectrum response, which even for someone not on the spectrum would be understandable. And, given their egregious, unprofessional, unethical, and completely insensitive post-incident behavior, which led to multiple cops being fired, it's pretty safe to say that they approached him looking for a fight and engendered the response they got precisely because of the fact that he was self-described as "different".

Watched a lot of videos of him. Dude was almost certainly on the spectrum and there's tons of article by parents of autistic children who immediately recognized it as well. Dude was Spergier than a D&D game held in a Programmer's cubicle.

And, BTW... Being and introvert or "different" doesn't give you license to resist the police. It may play well to bleeding hearts but it doesn't mean anything to officers on the street...for good reason.

What do you think would've happened if McClain had identified himself to officers and cooperated with their brief investigation? It's speculation on my part but I'm gonna say they would've done what they needed to do and McClain would've continued his walk home. He made the decision to resist and fight the police. At what point does personal accountability come into play?
