The family of Oral Nunis argued in their lawsuit that officers didn't follow proper protocols for dealing with someone undergoing a mental health crisis and ignored restraint risks
A San Diego federal jury has ruled in favor of a group of Chula Vista police officers in a civil trial alleging excessive force was used by the officers while responding to a mental health call, resulting in a man's death.
Sain said that before any officers arrived, they were told Nunis had physically struggled with his own family members as they tried to prevent him from leaping out of the window. The attorney said '5150' calls, in which a person can be involuntarily detained while in the midst of a mental health crisis, are among the most dangerous ones officers face, can easily turn violent, and that 'securing' the person as quickly as possible is in line with police training.
