https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excited_delirium
tl;dr: "Excited delirium" is a thing that was made up, is not a real thing, and is used by medical examiners to excuse police for murdering (usually non-white) people.
Oh, so its like 'body language experts' and 'polygraphs', more fun, scientifically baseless nonsense.
Wait so when someone says "I can't breathe," they have excited delirium, which is a 'condition' that kills you...
How is that better?
It's "better" because then the ME doesn't have to write "excessive force by police" on the line next to "Cause of death."
