Healthy 34 year old Yale professor arrested, mysteriously dies in jail after threatening arresting officer.

Anytime the police are involved in your affairs these days, there is a nonzero chance of dying for something really, really petty.  The cops treat people like garbage and like punching bags.  It doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman so don't be misled into thinking that police brutality is done in self defense or out of fear for their lives.  Police have been caught on camera on Youtube smashing women's faces into concrete benches or into concrete walls, beating the crap out of them while yelling "stop resisting" to people who aren't even moving.  My personal favorite in this category is this Youtube of a horde of lawless cops laying into a guy who was unconscious as a result of being ejected from his vehicle after a short car chase.

Of course, anytime you are arrested they throw in the "resisting arrest" charge as standard equipment.  In fact, here is a real police video where a cop is busted while telling a guy just how easy it will be to fabricate legal charges against him because the cop didn't like the citizen's attitude.  Here's another one.  If this gets captured on video and is available for public display on Youtube, how often do you think it happens off video?  10 times per video?  100x?  It certainly is not a situation where video catches it every time.  Not even close.  That means this behavior is not as unusual as you might think.  In fact, it's getting downright common.

Today the Washington Post reports that a Yale professor of only 34 years of age "somehow" died after being arrested for violating a restraining order (nonviolent domestic issue).  He was perfectly healthy when he was arrested and booked at 9p.m. but dead the next morning in his cell and it was not an apparent suicide.   The police seem clueless about how he might have died saying only that "was alert and communicating with marshals throughout his detainment until marshals found him unresponsive in his cell at about 6 a.m.".  Alert and communicating???  LET'S SEE THE SECURITY VIDEO!  I bet he was complaining about headaches or abdominal pains and the cops just told him to shut the heck up and deal with it.  They had this guy only for 8 hours and now he is dead.  That is not a coincidence folks.
 
It would not surprise me to learn that they end up finding brain swelling or a ruptured organ from where they might have (no proof of this at all yet) gotten even with him for yelling, “I will kill you ... I will destroy you” at one of the arresting officers the day before.  This is the last thing you do to the police.  You do not threaten.  Ever.  A person should do or do not but never threaten, even idly. The chance is just too great that you will be killed in your sleep, perhaps held down and smothered with a pillow so that no cause of death will ever be clear.  In the case of this Yale professor, police will of course investigate themselves and of course find no wrongdoing even though a 34 year old man is dead while in their custody for a mere 8 hours. 

The sad fact is that this guy would have done no worse for himself by shooting it out with the cops on the spot instead of being arrested.  Of course, he might not have known that in advance but as soon as he started hurling threats at the officers the odds of him being "accidented" went up dramatically.
