SOS – Global Nazi Extermination Program!
Certain members of the media, police, judiciary and secret services are all knowingly complicit in a global Nazi extermination program and its cover-up that is using directed energy weapons, covert implants and nanotechnology to commit systematic mutilation and silent genocide against the population around the world for the sake of a Nazi ideology.
Terror and Death-Squad Assaults
Genocide Plans
Methods of Genocide
Systematic Physical Mutilation
The mutilation and murder program is run by the Secret Services and their cronies in the military and in private corporations. It utilises the fact that microwaves are harmful to organic tissue but can pass through most building materials. This means that people can be hurt and given organ damage, heart attacks, strokes and cancer remotely inside their own homes. This is combined with nanotechnology and synthetic materials that are covertly given to the victims to systematically disintegrate their health and brain functions, using radiation to interact with the nanotechnology inside the body for maximum destructive effect.
Neighbourhood Terror Campaigns
The death camp programs begin with intensive psychological terrorism of the victim. The victims are placed under intrusive surveillance to infiltrate and subvert their life. It is for this reason that gang-stalking is the first aspect of this program that the victims complain about. The violations get worse with time: victims’ homes are surrounded by agents who either rent properties or corrupt neighbours.
For these terror campaigns, the Secret Services mobilise their vast networks of agents, informants, collaborateurs and sympathisers to gang-stalk the victims as soon as they leave their home. They also pay a lot of money to corrupt neighbours to join in the abuse of the victim. The goal is to get the neighbours addicted to voyeurism and the abuse of the victim. For these reasons, the surveillance footage from the victim’s private quarters is broadcast to the neighbours and they are given the freedom to abuse the victim in whatever way they can come up with.
For example, Dr. Horton’s downstairs neighbours, who joined in the surveillance campaign as soon as Dr. Horton moved in in September 2015, had ramped up their hate and terror campaign into a frenzy such that in July 2017, they would catch her coming through the door at 11pm and openly swear at Dr. Horton on a pretext and threaten physical violence. The recording of the incident with English subtitles is below (see here for the German version). Corrupt proletarians like that are the driving element of the Secret Service terror campaigns.
Individual Concentration Camps
The next step in the genocide program is to set up microwave weapons and radar devices with which the perpetrators can monitor the victims inside their home 24/7 and shoot at them from the outside at will. Body parts can be targetted with a precision of a few millimeters. By this means, victims find themselves in an individual concentration camp that the intelligence agencies erect around them. Inside, the victims are systematically shot to pieces with the military weapons, using the fact that the shots from microwave guns don’t leave bullet holes. What this looks like is shown here:
International Blacklisting
The victims of this program are placed on international blacklists intertwined with the terrorism watchlists. The secret services treat the people on these blacklists as outlaws with no right to life and do whatever they like with them. Once a victim gets on one of these blacklists they stay on them for life and are systematically and brutally mutilated alive and slowly murdered in the most dreadful way possible. Their family members are also placed on the blacklist and also slowly murdered off.
When a victim tries to complain about the assaults, for example by making a police report, the corrupted police turns on the victim. If a victim happens to chance on an honest police officer, the victim is retaliated against by other means. For example, after reporting brutal microwave assaults on an air plane to the Hamburg Airport police, Dr. Horton was machine-gunned with Directed Energy Weapons in the thigh in the parking lot of the airport straight after making the police report. The car was carrying Directed Energy Weapons and caused massive bruising that is still faintly visible at the time of writing, a quarter of a year later.

Note the longitudinal line at the top of the bruises that was caused by Dr. Horton turning slightly sideways the moment the shots started being fired. |
Sexual Sadism Actively Fostered
Agents from the intelligence agencies and their trainee spies mock the victims throughout the torture and sexually denigrate them. The sexual sadism is actively fostered by the secret services. It is used to groom and cultivate psychopaths and to generate the blackmail material for the control files on the perpetrators. Agents and their minions also break into homes, poison food, systematically sabotage computer equipment, digital communications, launch slander and smear campaigns and subvert the victims’ medical care to prevent victims from getting help and to hurt them even more.
Most victims experience shots with Directed Energy Weapons in the genitals and even genital mutilation. Those victims that have implants tend to have them in the genital and rectal regions too. These can be used for remote-controlled rape and sadistic torture. Both can also be done with Directed Energy Weapons alone, but once the chips are used it is almost impossible to shield from it and the victim becomes entirely helpless against the attack. What remote-controlled rape sounds like on high-frequency measuring equipment is shown below, where Dr. Horton was raped by the Swiss Secret Services, NDB, in her home near Zurich. Like mamny victims, Dr. Horton is raped on a daily basis.
Housebreaking and Covert Implanting
As part of the psychopathic obsession for control, agents even break into homes at night and do microsurgery on people, implanting them with chips and even nanotechnology that can be remote-controlled. Dr. Horton was implanted on two dozen locations by these means. The last time, she was overtly implanted was in the middle of June 2017, when 3 months after her request to cease and desist to the Swiss Secret Service in the military HQ in Berne, agents of the Swiss Secret Service broke into her home, slit her navel open using a laser scalpel and implanted her with a radio-frequency emitting chip. That laser surgery scar is shown below, as photographed by Dr. Horton’s doctor the day after Dr. Horton discovered the scar.

Three weeks later, when the microchip was turned on and used for pain torture, Dr. Horton measured the radio-frequency emissions of the chip implanted in the navel with the Aceco bug detector, as shown below. On her YouTube channel, she has posted the full list of chip measurements of her body (8 videos).
Sniper Shots of Chips, Poison-Darts and Nanotech
Many victims, including Dr. Horton, experience being shot at with projectiles that are aimed at piercing the skin to deliver bioweapons such as germs and nanotech, or lodging the projectile itself in tissue (e.g. radio-frequency chips).
When Dr. Horton had to flee her home due to the brutality of the Directed Energy Weapon attacks by the Swiss Secret Service, NDB, she was provided refuge by a journalist in Germany, who also recorded an interview with Dr. Horton. In retaliation for the interview, or out of habitual psychopathy, Dr. Horton was shot in the neck by the German Secret Service, BND, at the hotel where the interview was being recorded with a biowarfare agent that mutilated her neck, caused massive swelling created a wound that still hasn’t healed at the time of writing a quarter year later, see below. The journalist testified to observing the sudden swelling in writing.

Thousands of Victim Testimonies
The thousands of testimonies and desperate please for help by the victims of these psychopathic genocide campaigns by our degenerate secret services can be found everywhere online under the keyword “targeted individuals”. This term is a psyop device designed to obfuscate the truth that these are in fact the holocaust victims of the intelligence agencies.
Already over a decade ago, the victim John Finch assembled over 1500 international victim cases and submitted them to all institutions that have a duty to fight such criminality around the world. John Finch’s list can be found in the Wikileaks Vault 7 releases in an internal email at Stratfor in 2007. All officials who were contacted chose to ignore these crimes against humanity.
“We have contacted most Governments, Security/Intelligence Agencies, Religious Organisations, International Organizations, Human Rights Organizations, Universities, Scientific and other Institutions, and the International Media all over the world – over and over and over again sending them all our case summaries, appeals for help, info etc.” – John Finch, victim & campaigner
This shows that most of our governments knowingly allow and commit these crimes against humanity. Given that these are Nazi experiments and Nazi crimes, what we have to face up to is that our governments are in Deep Capture by a global Nazi crime syndicate. This makes those officials, who have been contacted but chose to remain silent and deny victims help, Nazi collaborators and war criminals who assisted the cover-up of these crimes. Covering-up crimes against humanity is the gravest offence in every jurisdiction.
The Purpose
Nazi Eugenics and Genocide
The goal is to entirely subjugate the healthy population by crippling them with health problems and financial difficulties so that they are entirely subservient to a core network of clinical psychopaths who, as a result of their mental illness, consider themselves to be a super-race that should dominate everybody else.
As part of that program a large scale Intelligenzaktion (as conducted by the German Gestapo in Poland early in World War II) is run by the secret services to debilitate and murder the highly intelligent and articulate members of society, so that they cannot warn others when they spot the pattern of this development. The secret services have already murdered a lot of the best and brightest in the Western world and are continuing to expand their take-down operations to ever larger parts of society. By now, everyone of genuinely high value to society due to their insight, ingenuity and integrity is being assaulted by the criminals and degenerates in the secret services to ensure the subjugation of civil society.
War of Terror
The secret services staged fake terrorist events to expand their budgets in the War on Terror. For example, MI5’s budget doubled after 2003 and their head-count tripled (Guardian, 7th Sept 2011). The armies of weaponized morons that were recruited with that money, combined with high-tech surveillance methods, are used to demolish all Western democratic institutions and to restrain and debilitate the population. The goal is to ensure that healthy people cannot stop the psychopaths in the secret services and the military when they expand their program of systematic mutilation and murder, which is modelled on the Gestapo and the death squads run by Western secret services in Latin America and Asia.
Dr Katherine Horton is one of those scientist who is being mutilated to death by the psychopaths and their minions in the secret services. Together with a group of high-profile whistleblowers and especially talented people she is trying to stop the war that the degenerates in our societies are waging on the normal people.
Together they formed the Joint Investigation Team, US-Europe at the start of 2017 to investigate crimes committed with Directed Energy Weapons, Military Neuro/Biotechnology and Systemic Corruption.
The global genocide program has many other forms and goes back to global plans that have been in place for a long time. Genocide is a staple asset-stripping method of the global crime cartel that it uses to break down nations. It used it against Germany and other countries in World War II, against Russia and China during communism, and later in Vietnam, Latin America, Africa, and more recently in the Middle East like in Iraq and Syria. In other words, it used this asset-stripping strategy everywhere, and each time with full success.
If we want to stop the genocide this time, we have to work together globally. If humanity succeeds against the global crime cartel, it will in fact be the first time. If humanity fails, the cartel will conduct a global genocide surpassing all previous genocides.
As a result of the complexity of our systems, we would not be able to maintain any of our system like commerce, manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, electricity grids and computer and telecommunications architecture after such a genocide. That is because most of the people who knew how to run these things or had the training to be able to help run these things, would be dead. In other words, we would be pushed into a new form of the dark ages, which will be a lot worse than the original Dark Ages because vanishingly few of us know how to live off the land and fend for ourselves.
It is for these reasons that everyone of us has to take the revelations about the following programs very seriously and do our best to fight them.
Genocide Forecasts by Intelligence Organisation
The following are the population forecasts by Deagel.com, which is an intelligence provider for NSA, NATO, UN, OECD, World Bank, Stratfor and others. Its reports have been quoted in briefings to the US President. For this reason, Deagel‘s forecasts of mass genocide in the Western world are revelations about the known large-scale plans of the global crime cartel that are expected to be executed fully by governments. Its forecasts for the US, UK, Germany and Switzerland are listed below for download.

Testimonies about the Genocide
Dr. Rima Libow about European Royalty looking forward to “The Great Cull”:
Lecture given by Dr. Richard Day, a Rockefeller insider, in 1968 explaining everything about the genocide plans, all of which has since come true. This is the 4th of 4 tapes, but listen to this first to get to the main points fast.
There are the other 3 important tapes:
UN Agenda 21 & Agenda 2030
Couched in benign Killuminazi doublespeak, UN Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 are global Nazi extermination programs by the global crime cartel which controls the UN. The genocide is sometimes euphemistically called “depopulation” and uses the codewords “sustainability” for genocide and “smart” for technology-enabled murder. Below is a selection of a short 5min introduction and there are excellent longer exposés online. For example Rosa Koire has done a lot of work in exposing these war crime schemes.
Celebration of Genocide in Public Rituals
Opening of the Gotthard Tunnel, Switzerland 2016
One of the most striking Satanic rituals was the opening of the Gotthard Tunnel in Switzerland. Satan is openly depicted as a goat, the common people are mocked as ignorant and zombiefied, and the large-scale Nazi extermination is announced with references to trains of people carting off the victims, just like during World War II.
The opening ceremony of the Gotthard Tunnel was so shocking that the John Birch Society put out an entire video dedicated to its commentary:
Olympics Ceremony 2012, London
The London Olympics Opening Ceremony was full of symbolism. The point below is only one detail out of many that stick out as nefarious and even Satanic. The original video posted here has been removed. However, there is still a video available about the Olympics Ceremony showing the large baby’s head, see below.
The baby’s head has a large scar on the side of its head and a matching vertical scar on its forehead as if it has been cut open. The effect of the surface structure is that it looks like a digial image, in other words, its brain is getting digitised. This obsession with owning somebody to the extent of ripping the body open and getting inside is typical of psychopathy.
Genocide of the Poor & Disabled in UK
By a process termed economic genocide the UK government caused the deaths of 120’000 people reliant on social care in the UK, as was revealed by the Independent on 15 Nov 2017. The death toll is expected to rise to 200’000 by the end of 2020. Both the article in the Independent and the scientific paper it is based on are below for download.

Satellite-Laser Genocide
Space-based Directed Energy Weapons are being used against victims en masse around the world. In the California Fires, just like in the Liverpool Car Park Fire on New Year’s at the start of 2018, satellite-mounted laser systems are openly used to cause fires.
Most famously, satellite-based Directed Energy Weapons were used in 9/11 to decimate the Twin Towers. It was noted that the material that began falling never arrived on the ground, instead it dustified in free-fall. This is an effect that can only be achieved at this speed by hitting the resonance frequency of all relevant building materials with for example tuned lasers or specially tuned exotic wave-forms and breaking up the bonds holding together molecules in the material. This investigative work was pioneered by Dr. Judy Wood and others.
5G – A Genocide Weapons Systems
There are indications that the rapid implementation of 5G appears to be related to its application as a Directed Energy Weapons system and as infrastructure to interface with non-consensually implanted human body chips. In other words, it appears to be a world-wide total body control and instant kill weapons system that is going up around us with antennas as dense as every 50-100m in every neighbourhood where 5G is being deployed.
Either way, 5G has its own dangers due to the electromagnetic radiation it emits that has been warned about by experts like Dr. Barrie Trower, see below and in the playlist of his interviews.
Dr. Sharon Goldberg, a physician for internal medicine physician and a professor of medicine, gave her damning testimony regarding the health damage through 5G technology at the Michigan’s 5G Small Cell Tower Legislation Hearing, October 2018. Her testimony is below and further details can be found in this article.
UN staff member and whistle-blower Claire Edwards stated to the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres that humanity is facing a global health catastrophe orders of magnitudes bigger than that due to tobacco and cigarettes. She demanded an immediate stop to the 5G roll-out in UN buildings.
A full exposure of the organised crime cartel and its plans using 5G has been compiled by the Fullerton Informer
Below is an excellent technical introduction to 5G. It was in the public domain viewable on the internet and is reposted here in order to preserve it and to spread its viewership in the public interest and for national security concerns that make a rapid spreading of information necessary given the horrific crimes being committed with such technology.

Water Fluoridation
“The sheer arrogance of this is breath-taking.” — Dr. Paul Connett
This is a targeted brain mutilation program with a known neuro-toxin aimed at certain parts of society. In the UK, for example, water fluoridation is conducted in the poorer regions of the North, for example Birmingham and Manchester. Fluoride is a known neurotoxin that damages the brain.
The cover story by the global crime cartel is that it is to improve dental health, which is obviously nonsense to anyone with half a brain, as it is clear that having good teeth for the poorer classes is not the main agenda of the ruling cabal, not least because that makes them less money. What is actually happening is that targeted brain damage is being delivered “on tap” to poorer homes under the promise of “better teeth”.
Below is the report by Cambridge-educated Dr. Paul Connett about the lawsuit being launched against this brain mutilation program. More information on the website for the lawsuit fluoridealert.org.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Only days ago, the homicide of Daniel Prude became public.
The news sparked anger. It sparked peaceful protests mixed with scattered vandalism. It sparked finger-pointing among public officials.
While the protests and public dialogue may lead to reforms, the video of Prude's restraint and the subsequent autopsy likely will be the centerpiece of decisions about whether police acted criminally with his death.
Free Satellite Program
And there is much in the video and the autopsy, even with its granular medical detail, that will surely be questioned and challenged.
What happened: How Daniel Prude suffocated as Rochester police restrained him
The latest: New York to empanel grand jury to investigate the death of Daniel Prude
Among the questions:
- Did the police use restraint techniques that were accepted within law enforcement circles, or instead was it dangerous and even deadly for mentally troubled or drug-using individuals held in a prone position?
- Does the use of the term 'excited delirium' — both by emergency workers who responded to the scene and again in the autopsy — stand as a rationale for the police restraint? Or is 'excited delirium' a term that lacks medical foundation, used as an explanation and excuse for the deaths of civilians at the hands of police?
- Was Prude's erratic behavior — he was naked and ranting, while not acting violently — clear proof that mental health professionals should have been summoned immediately? Or, instead, did police think he was too medically and mentally fragile for such an intervention, and medical workers needed to be the first to be called?
Previously: 'Excited delirium' cited as factor in many fatal police restraint cases. Some say it's bogus.
The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, part of the USA TODAY Network, spoke to current and retired medical examiners and pathologists, lawyers, mental health experts, former police officers, and former city officials for insight into these questions. Many spoke on the record, while some chose not to do so.
Even some of those often hesitant to question police actions acknowledge that they are disturbed by the public revelations thus far.
'This is the worst video I have ever seen,' said Linda Kingsley, who served as Rochester Corporation Counsel for 12 years and now teaches local and state government law at the Albany Law School.
'The basic concept of the law and training of every police department in this country is you only use the necessary force and you de-escalate when possible,' she said.
Was restraint needed?
When police encountered Daniel Prude, 41, in the early morning hours of March 23, he was naked and wandering Jefferson Avenue.
Earlier, his brother tried to have him admitted to Strong Memorial Hospital for mental health purposes, but he was not held overnight. The hospital has said it acted properly; Prude's brother, Joe, has questioned why he was not kept there.
Videos show Prude largely complying with police as he is handcuffed, and he lies and sits on the street, continuing to rant, often incoherently. He also is bleeding from apparently breaking a window or windows on the street.
At some point, Prude said he had coronavirus; police later covered his head with a hood, commonly known as a 'spit hood,' to protect officers should he spit toward them.
At one point, awaiting medical workers, at least three officers physically restrain him, pinning him to the ground. The autopsy clearly attributes Prude's death a week later to the loss of oxygen he suffered; the death was ruled a homicide.
'You can see in that video his voice changes, his breathing change .. and they still don't get off him,' Kingsley said.
There is a wealth of research showing the hazards of restraining individuals in a prone position who may be undergoing physical or drug-induced trauma.
Prude also had the hallucinogen phencyclidine, or PCP, in his system. PCP can bring on violent responses, but Prude did not display any hint of physical aggression in the video.
While handcuffed, he asked for a gun repeatedly. He also asked for mace, gloves, $70 and an undefined 'it.'
'When asphyxia is put down as a cause of death, it means that the body was deprived of oxygen, and that could cause unconsciousness and death,' said Dr. Homer Venters, a physician, epidemiologist and the former chief medical officer of the New York City Correctional Health Services. 'We have decades of evidence that physical restraint and use of physical force can cause asphyxia and deaths from asphyxia.
'One of the things I've seen in cases that I investigated is that officers may engage with somebody who doesn’t follow their command … and at some point the (police) response is a response that should be reserved for a real safety threat to their lives or the lives of another person.'
Dr. Mary Jumbelic, a former Onondaga County medical examiner, said the spit hood may have obscured what the police could see about Prude's worsening condition during restraint.
'He had a 'spit cover' on, which allows respiration but doesn’t allow the officers to see his face for assessing his well being,' she said. 'The prone position itself can cause limitation of air movement into the lungs and then, when you add physical restraint in, makes a person vulnerable to asphyxiation.
'He vomited and that tells me he may have aspirated causing further irritation of the airway and (another) reason for hypoxia,' which is the deprivation of needed oxygen, Jumbelic said.
Also, she said, the PCP could have exacerbated the likelihood of asphyxiation, which the autopsy also notes.
'With people that use drugs like that, I've seen multiple circumstances when they are vulnerable to asphyxia and they're vulnerable when being put in a prone position.'
In 1995, the Department of Justice warned about the dangers of what is known as 'positional asphyxiation,' which most often happens when an individual is restrained in a prone position, said Keith Taylor, a former supervisor of the New York City Police Special Weapons And Tactics, or SWAT, unit.
'Prone restraint, due to the health challenges involved, is not advisable to do,' said Taylor, who now is an adjunct assistant professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. 'There may be circumstances where it's unavoidable and the officers have no other choice.
'Once the person is restrained, once they are cuffed .. put them on their side.'
Union defends restraint method
At a news conference Friday, Rochester Police Locust Club Union President Mike Mazzeo said the officers restraining Prude appeared to adhere to training procedures, and that an internal police investigation had not raised any red flags about the restraint methods.
![Program Program](https://www.theweek.co.uk/sites/theweek/files/styles/16x8_465/public/2016/03/160304-death-star.jpg)
![Death Satellite Program Death Satellite Program](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/An_air-to-air_left_side_view_of_an_F-15_Eagle_aircraft_releasing_an_anti-satellite_%28ASAT%29_missile_during_a_test.jpeg/1200px-An_air-to-air_left_side_view_of_an_F-15_Eagle_aircraft_releasing_an_anti-satellite_%28ASAT%29_missile_during_a_test.jpeg)
That investigation, conducted by police criminal investigators, was halted when the Attorney General's Office took over in mid-April. An executive order from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo mandates that the Attorney General investigate incidents in which unarmed civilians die at the hands of police.
Attorney general: New York to empanel grand jury in Daniel Prude death; officers have 'not been made available' to investigators
'An officer doesn't have the ability to go off-script,' Mazzeo said. 'They have to follow protocol and do what they are trained to do.
'To me, it looks like (the officers) watched training and followed it step by step. If there's a problem with that (procedure), let's change it.'
Former Rochester Corporation Counsel Kingsley questioned how any training would include the restraint of a naked man who posed no threat, and why more attention was not paid to his condition.
The police policy tells officers to closely monitor individuals who are restrained and appear to be emotionally disturbed or under the influence of drugs. The restraint and force should be based on the risk to officers or the individual or property.
'This guy wasn't a criminal,' Kingsley said. 'Yes, apparently he broke a few windows. But they were looking for him because he was an EDP (emotionally disturbed person). .. He was naked and he was unarmed and he was cuffed without any resistance.'
Kingsley said she thought the officers, for the first minute shown on the video, handled Prude with respect and concerns for his well-being. But then the responses from some devolved into jokes and a lack of attention once he was handcuffed and hooded. The ambulance workers also at first discuss Prude's condition with police, she said.
'They're chatting rather than seeing if they can help while this guy is clearly in respiratory arrest.'
'Excited delirium' and death
Prude's autopsy says he showed signs of 'excited delirium,' which has been a term for a combination of mental and physiological actions and symptoms, including agitation, aggressive behavior, profuse sweating, and claims of bouts of unusual strength.
But that term, which many critics say is not a medical diagnosis, has become controversial in recent years.
Dr. Venters, who headed the medical care operations for the New York City jails, said that many of the fatalities in which 'excited delirium' is highlighted occur at the hands of police or with inmates in confrontations with corrections workers.
Disproportionately, he said, people of color and people with mental illness are the victims in those cases.
'My grave concern is that this term, 'excited delirium,' is used to absolve law enforcement of responsibility' with the deaths, he said.
With the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, a homicide that triggered national protests against police brutality of Black citizens, a police officer can be heard on video saying, 'I am worried about excited delirium or whatever.' The police and a paramedic at the Prude incident also talk of 'excited delirium.'
Dallas, Texas attorney Geoff Henley represents the family of a man who died at the hands of police in 2016 in circumstances similar to Prude's and Floyd's deaths.
'Excited delirium, number one, is a term that has multiple definitions,' Henley said.
'Excited delirium simply just means a description manifested by conduct of someone in an agitated mental state,' he said. 'The cops like to assert .. that it is a cause of death, that the excited delirium is what killed them. They like to claim that they are, in essence, killing themselves because of excited delirium.'
But former City Corporation Counsel Kingsley said, whether excited delirium is legitimate or not, the signs that an individual may be in that state is a further indication of the need for cautious and medically sensitive restraint.
'You can't have it both ways,' she said.
Former Onondaga Medical Examiner Jumbelic said that 'excited delirium as a term isn't very helpful.'
Instead, she said, the focus should be on the effects of the restraint, the PCP presence, and other possible contributors to the death.

Need for mental health assistance
When police sought out Daniel Prude on March 23, his mercurial mental state was no secret. His brother called police and told them of Daniel's strange actions.
But, while Prude was handcuffed and restrained, there was no apparent effort to reach out for mental health assistance.
On Thursday, Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren suspended seven officers who were at the scene and said she wants to bolster mental health responses to similar incidents. Critics of the mayor have challenged her claims that she did not know that Prude was a homicide victim until August, and that her staff and the police kept her in the dark for the months after the fatality.
Calls to 'defund the police' have coincided with a push for police to utilize mental health professionals. The movement in part maintains that public funds for law enforcement could be better used if shifted toward mental health treatment.
USA TODAY Explains: What does 'defund the police' mean and why some say 'reform' is not enough
Former New York City SWAT supervisor Taylor said that police interactions with mentally troubled people has long been a law enforcement trouble spot.
'There's not a uniform way to address it,' he said. 'I think it has to be addressed at the national level, to have training requirements.'
The Rochester Police Department, like many, has some officers who undergo 'crisis intervention' training to help them deal with mentally ill individuals.
But the problems persist at most law enforcement agencies, Taylor said.
'The normal (police) processes don't work' in confrontations with mentally troubled people, he said. 'They're not going to listen to your commands. They may be physically compromised. Their health status may result in a negative outcome.'
Taylor pointed to 2015 research from the nonprofit Treatment Advocacy Center showing that people with untreated mental illness are 16 times more likely to be killed during a police encounter than other civilians approached or stopped by law enforcement.
'That’s screaming for intelligent responses by the mental health community in cooperation with law enforcement agencies,' he said.
Still, Taylor said, 'you can't take mental health professionals into every situation, particularly where there may be violence involved.'
With Daniel Prude, police may have determined that a quick medical response was more necessary than an attempted mental health intervention.
'One of the things that this case highlights is police should not be making mental health calls,' said Dr. Sarah Vinson, an associate professor of psychiatry and pediatrics at Morehouse School of Medicine. 'It looks like he had broken a window or something but he clearly was not presenting an acute risk to someone's health. He was most at risk.
'They weren’t the appropriate people to respond, and that was demonstrated by them laughing at him. The actions they took — the use of force when it clearly wasn't necessary — just emphasizes the root issue that we should not have police responding to mental health calls.'
People of color, if struggling with mental health issues, are more likely to find themselves confronting an arrest instead of needed treatment, Vinson said.
'We know that behaviors by certain people are more likely to be criminalized,' she said.
And, she cautioned, even a supposedly well-intentioned treatment program can be racist in operation. Court diversion programs, which try to route addicts and the mentally ill into treatment, have shown a propensity to accept more white people than Black people, Vinson said.
