Excited Delirium: How A Controversial Diagnosis is Being Used to Justify Police Violence

Please join the University of St. Thomas School of Law’s Community Justice Project (CJP), in partnership with Communities United Against Police Brutality (CUAPB), as we host a virtual town hall event about Excited Delirium, an unscientific “disease” that is often used as a cause of death in police use of force cases.

We will be joined by medical experts from around the nation, in addition to local lawyers and activists, to give a broad overview of what Excited Delirium is, how its misused, and what we can do about it as a community.
