How can police stop a suspect that is high on PCP?
|
In one of my classes today, we were talking about hallucinogens. The teacher ending up talking about PCP for like 5 minutes. After listening to the fact that PCP is an anesthetic (pain killer), I wonder how police could stop a suspect who is fighting back and can't feel pain. Let's suppose the suspect has a warrant for his or her arrest and a police officer is trying to arrest the person. If the suspect resists arrest and the officer can't overpower the person, what should the officer do?

Surprisingly not all high on PCP will cause a problem if you approach in the right way. If you get them into a bear hug situation while they are not agitated they tend to stay fairly calm in their hallucination.
With the violent ones thanks to Tasers it has become a lot easier to get them down long enough to secure them. They often hurt themselves trying to get out of restraints. The other problem is when they get agitated even with the taser they some times die from the stress. It is the same with others who are in Excited Delirium.
Pepper gas does not work and makes things worse. Rubber/wooden rounds are also useless.
Before we had tasers we would simply swarm them with a lot of cops and get him down, often sitting on different parts. The cops often got hurt seriously doing this. I still have a portion of one of my shins gone from one biting a chunk out 30 years ago.
Taser dose not depend on pain. it depends on interrupting electrical signals to the muscles. |

The officer will usually call for backup and multiple officers will have to take him down. They are very right though, PCP makes people not feel pain at all, and it makes them feel hot so they end up taking their clothes off, so 5 officers end up tackling a naked guy or girl. |
