Blanca Briceno called police to help with her son who was experiencing an episode from schizophrenia. When police arrived Eric Briceno, her son, was sleeping. Despite being asleep, the police began beating Eric. Eric died from this attack. An autopsy report confirmed that Eric was punched, pepper-sprayed and shot with a taser seven or eight times. However, the district attorney ruled that Eric was shot in self-defense for assaulting police which contradicts autopsy evidence and Blanca’s witness testimony. More of this story here.
