“The Kern County Sheriff’s Department has no problem taking people into custody. It just seems to have trouble keeping them from dying. Here’s the issue: the department goes overboard, deploys excessive force and somehow, the coroner finds that everyone the department restrains to death has heart problems. Coroner’s reports latch onto pre-existing conditions as the cause of death, and seem to give no weight to the fact that being beaten (even by-the-book) and restrained by multiple deputies may have something to do with the resulting deaths.”
