Dr. Michael Baden has been involved in some of the most high-profile civil rights and police brutality cases in US history, from the government's 1976 re-investigation of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., to the 2014 death of Michael Brown, whose case sparked the initial Ferguson protests that grew into the Black Lives Matter movement. The playbook hasn't changed since 1979, when Dr. Baden was demoted from his job as New York City's Chief Medical Examiner after ruling that the death of a Black man in police custody was a homicide. So in 2020 when the Floyd family, wary of the same system that oversaw George Floyd's death, needed a second opinion--Dr. Baden is who they called. In these pages, Dr. Baden chronicles his six decades on the front lines of the fight for accountability within the legal system--including the long history of medical examiners of using a controversial syndrome called excited delirium (a term that shows up in the pathology report for George Floyd) to explain away the deaths of BIPOC restrained by police. In the process, he brings to life the political issues that go on in the wake of often unrecorded fatal police encounters and the standoff between law enforcement and those they are sworn to protect. Full of behind-the-scenes drama and surprising revelations, American Autopsy is an invigorating--and enraging--read that is both timely and crucial for this turning point in our nation's history. -- Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Racism in criminal justice administration $z United States. 650 0 $a Arrest (Police methods) $x Health aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Restraint of prisoners $z United States. 650 0 $a Prisoners $z United States $x Death. 650 0 $a Excited delirium syndrome $z United States. 650 0 $a Medical jurisprudence $z United States. 650 7 $a Excited delirium syndrome. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01737870 650 7 $a Medical jurisprudence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01014258 650 7 $a Prisoners $x Death. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077116 650 7 $a Racism in criminal justice administration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02025479 650 7 $a Restraint of prisoners. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01096011 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Weiss, Mitch, $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Baden, Michael M. $t American autopsy. $d Dallas, TX : BenBella Books, Inc., 2023 $z 9781637740477 $w (OCoLC)1367851047 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240717020438.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7D13EBF49E3C11EE84E191EF36ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
