Two things...

PCP users are often characterized as violent or suicidal. However, this portrait of a PCP user may not be accurate. Dr. Jaime Diaz, a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Washington, reviewed many of the published reports of PCP use in his book, How Drugs Influence Behavior. A Neuro-Behavioral Approach (Upper Saddle River (NJ): Prentice Hall, 1997). He states that PCP use rarely results in violence and concludes that:

"Phencyclidine does not cause aggression or criminal behavior."

Dr. Diaz believes that the reported violent behavior is not due to the pharmacological effect of PCP, but rather is the result of the way people under the influence of PCP perceive things and are subsequently treated by law enforcement personnel. People under the influence of PCP may not feel pain and their perception of sensory stimuli may be altered, possibly causing police officers to use stronger methods to control such individuals.

then this.

Who cares if it's the direct result of the pharmacological effects or if it's from a change in perception of reality, the drug causes people to go crazy. The guy was hyped up on coke and PCP, was something like 400 pounds, and they say he died from a heart attack of exertion. He also attacked the cops first, from what I gather. Have you ever had a 400 pound guy on PCP and coke throwing fists at you? The cops might have gone overboard (I don't know), but I can't exactly say I blame them.

Everyone is caught up on the fact that he was on drugs and it might have been excessive force, when in fact, people seem to be forgetting that this is a BLACK MAN the police were dealing with.

When it comes to black people, no force is considered excessive. Let that be a lesson to you all.
