Police Introduce Restraining Bags in Escalation of War Against the Mentally IllBy Isaac Davis Earlier this year the New York Police Department (NYPD), an organization of some 34,000 uniformed officers and an annual budget surpassing $5 billion, introduced a new crime fighting device, the restraining bag, or as it is sometimes affectionately called, the burrito. It is essentially a full-body sized duffel bag that officers can stuff a perpetrator into and cart him off to jail like a piece of luggage. Manufactured by DeSantis Gunhide, a division of HELGEN Industries Inc., the EDP bag, which is an acronym for emotionally disturbed person, retails from $750 to $899 and has already been used hundreds of times in 2016 by the NYPD.As reported by Gothamist, the EDP bag was used 122 times in a 110-day periodbetween January and April of 2016, with one very disturbing incident being caught on video by a concerned bystander. The man restrained in the bag in the video posted in March allegedly failed to pay his subway fare, the Times reports, and hes said to have became violent when officers tried to arrest him, flailing his arms, kicking, and spitting. He allegedly struck one officer in the head with his elbow and injured another. He now faces charges for felony assault, among othersbut his lawyer, Andrew Miller, says thats completely backwards. The idea, as were told, is that the bag will protect police officers from seriously disturbed people, but apparently the definition of emotionally disturbed is so loose that it includes the most basic hopeless efforts of resisting arrest or actively protesting treatment by police, even for crimes as trivial as failure to pay for the subway. Use of such restraint traumatizes a person in emotional distress and exacerbates the condition and experience of the crisis for the individual. It is a dehumanizing tactic, and promotes stigma against people with mental health issues. Carla Rabinowitz, of Community Access In reality, however, this is yet another abuse in the long and growing list of dehumanizing measuresbeing usedby American law enforcement in the pursuit of exacting total government control over any beings who inhabit the physical space known as the United States of America. And people with mental health problems do have greater reason to be afraid of police as it is shockingly common for officers to use deadly force against the deaf, the autistic, the deranged, or the out of control, even when contacted by family members who are seeking help in resolving non-violent conflict. According to the website Cops Plus: New York officers are familiar with the unfortunate routine of bringing in an emotionally-disturbed person (EDP) to the psychiatric emergency room or temporarily to a holding cell. With these incidents in mind, DeSantis has developed the EDP Bag to specifically meet the needs of professionals in Emergency Service Units. The bag is a modern straightjacket reinvented, securing EDPs from the scene of an incident and safely transporting them to a hospital for appropriate care if they pose a danger to themselves or others. The durable bag features seven carry handles for an even weight distribution. Crafted from strengthened, porous materials, the bag allows for bodily fluids to pass. DeSantis bag is easy to clean and disinfect after each use. Instead of re-thinking brutal tactics or increasing accountability for officers likeDaniel Pantaleo who choked New Yorker Eric Garner, a father of six, to death for illegally selling cigarettes on the street, the NYPD is doubling down on its intent to control people at all costs, even though the result will undoubtedly be a greater rift between citizens and police. If people in the mental health community find out that their fate is to be put in a body bag, they will fight even harder to not get into a body bag. Carla Rabinowitz, of Community Access The roots of the problem lie in training, lack of accountability, militarization, hiring practices, a culture of brotherhood and a general shift in consciousness of local, state, and national government, and new devices and tactics like these are only a symptom of these problems.

A lot of folks appear to be moving in the direction youve so elequently expressed. As long as cops remain immune from brutality, harm and abuse, they will continue to accelerate the use of such inhumane systems and devices. Presently, cops can use these killing devices without any judge signing off on the use thereof. Cops make all of these decisions in situ, and their actions are ignored because none of the leadership in this country can imagine that they or their own families and friends would be treated like this. Since the cops are already stunning these folks, whats the point of hamstringing and oppressing people like this other than to send a clear signal to every other American that you are next. THEY ARE THE SCUM THAT BELONGS IN THE BAG. Its difficult to fight when you have corporations (and those who earn a living through them) who are all too eager to capitalize by helping tyrants. This is psychopathic, my god. a better solution is training of course. Orwe could just put the police in protective bubbles so the whiny little whimps dont have to be scared of their own freaking shadows. The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act and the brain initiative are the worst scams ever perpetrated on the American people. Former U. S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin Warns: Biochips Hazardous to Your Health: Warning, biochips may cause behavioral changes and high suicide rates. State Attorney Generals are to revoke the licenses of doctors and dentists that implant chips in patients. Chip used illegally for GPS, tracking, organized crime, communication and torture. Virginia state police have been implanting citizens without their knowledge and consent for years and they are dying! Check out William and Marys site to see the torture enabled by the biochip and the Active Denial System. See Terrorism and Mental Health by Amin Gadit or A Note on Uberveillance by MG Katina Michael or Safeguards in a World of Ambient Intelligence by Springer or Mind Control, Microchip Implants and Cybernetics. Check out the audio spotlight by Holosonics. The truth is the biochip works like a sim card. It received pulsed modulated laser beams and millimeter wave which it converts into electromagnetic waves that your brain interprets into digital images and sound. It then takes what your brain sees and hears and converts electromagnetic waves into digital and acoustic waves that a computer translates into audio and video. In other words, it allows law enforcement to see what you see, hear what you hear and communicate directly with your brain. Former Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) director and now Google Executive, Regina E. Dugan, has unveiled a super small, ingestible microchip that we can all be expected to swallow by 2017. A means of authentication, she calls it, also called an electronic tattoo, which The ARRA authorizes payments to the states in an effort to encourage Medicaid Providers to adopt and use certified EHR technology aka biochips. ARRA will match Medicaid $5 for every $1 a state provides. Hospitals are paid $2 million to create crisis stabilization wards (Gitmos) where state police torture people even unto death. They stopped my heart 90 times in 6 hours. Virginia Beach EMTs were called to the scene. Mary E. Schloendorff, v. The Society of New York Hospital 105 N. E. 92, 93 (N. Y. 1914) Justice Cardozo states, every human being of adult years and sound mind has a right to determine what shall be done with his own body; and a surgeon who performs an operation without his patients consent, commits an assault, for which he is liable in damages. (Pratt v Davis, 224 Ill. 300; Mohr v Williams, 95 Minn. 261.) This case precedent requires police to falsely arrest you or kidnap you and call you a mental health patient in order to force the implant on you. You can also be forced to have a biochip if you have an infectious disease like Eboli or Aids. Coalition of Justice vs the City of Hampton, VA settled a case out of court for $500,000 and removal of the biochip. Torture is punishable by $1,000 per day up to $2 million; Medical battery is worth $2.05 million. They told my family it was the brain initiative. I checked with the oversight board, and it is not! Mark Warner told me it was research with the Active Denial System by the College of William and Mary, the USAF, and state and local law enforcement. It is called IBEX and it is excruciating. I have had 3 surgeries at the site of the implant and need another. It causes cancer! Ive been tortured for 8 years by Virginia law enforcement. Thousands of innocent Virginians are being tortured and murdered by criminal cops. Please help us get the word out to end these heinous atrocities. The pain is 24/7. The VA DCJS sent me a letter stating cops can get keys to anyones home and steal anything they please. The governor knows and takes his cut. Senator Kaine said the FBI is not involved so he cant help. Check out Virginias Casual Disregard for the Constitution at forbes dot com. Check out Richard Cains case. They are torturing infants and children. The active denial system comes in rifle form and can murder without leaving a mark. I have had two heart attacks and am blessed to be alive. We need to make the nation aware to stop these thugs. Now a Dr. Whaley of the Medical Examiners office reports covering up murders by cops and selling brains for $6250 each to the NIH. Beware of Riverside and Sentara Hospital.
