A man with Down syndrome, who refused to leave a theater
after watching a movie, was shot dead by police, prosecutors in Maryland said.
Now, a Frederick County Grand announced that they will not
indict the police officer who killed 26-year-old Robert Ethan Saylor.
According to the police investigation, Saylor verbally and
physically resisted officers’ attempts to get him out of the theater, and
because of his large size, officers said that they had to use three pairs of
handcuffs on him. When he showed signs of distress, officers began
administering CPR and other first aid.
However, the Medical Examiner’s Office in Baltimore, said
that Saylor’s death was a homicide as a result of asphyxiation. The incident
unfolded when police arrived at the movie theater, where Saylor refused to
leave because he wanted to see “Zero Dark Thirty,” a second time. (Radar)
