they either put you on hold..or beat you up and drug you.
that is the 'help'. that is the best 'professional' help the Veterans Administration has to offer.
'take yer meds'. It nearly killed him.
less than fifty.
His family called the VA crisis hotline and asked for a crisis team to come to their home, but instead they got the cops, even though they specifically asked to leave them out of it.
The police told Kyle he was being detained after he tried to have his dog attack them and slammed the door in their face.
According to the complaint, Cardenas initially struggled with the officers before retreating to his room. It went on to say: “The police charged into this bedroom … and attempted to restrain Kyle again. During the melee, the officers Tased Kyle at least seven times, sprayed OC spray directly into Kyle’s face, struck Kyle multiple times with their batons, punched Kyle in the face with closed fists, kicked and kneed Kyle in the thighs and legs, and ordered one of the K-9 unit dogs to attack and bite Kyle.”
The fight triggered an episode, apparently, and Kyle was rushed to the hospital.
There, he was reportedly given an anti-psychotic drug commonly used to sedate ‘agitated patients.’ At one point he stopped breathing and turned blue. Cardenas was revived and put into a medically induced coma for four days, local media reported.
