Tue, September 17, 2024
And today the PM added that, in hindsight, the officers should have done a better job at keeping the family informed. But he then back pedaled and repeated that Cal had been suffering from alcoholism.

John Briceno, Prime Minister
"It is very unfortunate what happened and quite likely you know 20/20, I hind sight you have 20/20 vision and obviously someone should have called the family from early on to say "hey something is wrong with Mr Cal", but I am told that they have taken out the report to show that while he may show some bruises, he died from, well it seems that he was an alcoholic, and other medical issues and not necessarily from police brutality. But one hit to a prisoner is one too much and should not be tolerated."

A postmortem exam revealed Cal died from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. The report also stated that chronic alcoholism was a contributing factor.
