| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] … by NINE cops while begging them to 'listen to me' - before smacking his head against wall and dying. Disturbing footage shows a terrified autistic 19-year-old desperately asking cops to listen to him before he repeatedly slammed his head on a cell door and died. Isaiah Trammell, was taunted, belittled and threatened by nine guards as he begged for his medication at the Montgomery County Jail in Ohio. He was taken there after he was arrested following a mental health episode in March, 2023. After fatally-injuring himself, he was taken to a hospital where he later died. In surveillance videos obtained by The Columbus Dispatch, officers are seen telling Trammell he was 'ridiculous,' 'embarrassing' and 'acting like an a**.' He was strapped into a restraint chair twice and threatened a third time with severe consequences if he did not calm down. But Trammell responded to the threats by banging his head on the cell door and screaming: 'Let me out' No-one listened as Trammell asked for his medications, a phone call and a blanket, according to the Dispatch. Trammell was then rushed to hospital where he died three days later, with the coroner ruling it was suicide. Trammell had been taken to jail after neighbors called police because he'd spent the night banging his head into a wall at his home. He told officers banging his head on the wall was: 'The only way I know to get rid of the crazy in my head'. Officers booked Trammell when they discovered he was wanted on an outstanding misdemeanor domestic violence warrant. He had allegedly been abusive to his sister and her husband. Trammell's heartbroken mother Brandy Abner told The Columbus Patch that Trammel had a history of banging his head as a coping mechanism which often saw him end up in hospital. She had not been aware of the outstanding warrant against her son. 'We always call when he begins to rage - it's a mental health call, not an "arrest me" call,' she said. The 19-year-old told officers he suffered from ADHD and did not want to live. Trammell was put on suicide watch, meaning he was trip-searched and isolated in a safe cell. However, according to the Dispatch, he wasn't given a mattress, blanket or a suicide-resistant gown. |

| #1 Quit calling the cops when someone is having a 'mental health' episode. Guess what, they're not trained to deal with it anymore than the person having the problem. They're trained to deal with criminals who will use any trick or means to avoid arrest and detention. |
