		<description>Hey, Chad!  Good to know you are doing better. Folks across the country are watching this story unfold (as the police account begins to fall apart). I know you can&#039;t respond to everyone who writes, so please consider making a post every few days on the Facebook page for the Rainbow Lounge Raid.  [ http://www.facebook.com/wall.php?id=109253439840#/group.php?gid=109253439840 ]. You and the others who were physically and/or emotionally traumatized in this abuse of power are in my thoughts and prayers. Keep on the mend!!  Richard W. Fitch, Indianapolis, IN.</description>

		<description>Hi Chad, I&#039;m glad you&#039;re on the mend. 

Pro Police could be a foil for the police to dispense disinformation about the raid.  Pro went out of his/her way to protect the police and dismiss your viewpoint. The marks of their brutality are on you not them. I hope those who did this bashing to you are stripped of their power and punished for this. They are not police, they are thugs in uniforms.</description>

		<description>This is criminal police brutality. The officer who committed this crime should be persecuted to the full extent of the law. 
The thought of a bunch of policemen conducting a &quot;raid&quot; on a law-abiding group of people, then beating at least one of them into a life-threatening state -- it&#039;s despicable. 
Everyone on that police department should be deeply ashamed of these actions.</description>

		<description>dear mr or mrs pro police, 

are you a dr at jps?  if so, you have just released medical records without patient consent.  i&#039;m sure there are medical regulatory boards that want to talk to you.  

if not, speak to what you know, not to what you speculate.  could a skull fracture cause a person to be wobbly and cause them to start vomitting?  what does the mayo clinic have to say about that?  could pressure on the brain from hemmoraging cause symptoms that could be mistaken for &quot;alcohol poisoning&quot;?

thank you for your time.</description>

		<description>&quot;PRO POLICE SAYS&quot; - gee, how convenient that you choose to characterize Chad&#039;s tragic condition as ONLY being possible from his own actions -- and not from the police. Your google search of the Mayo clinic hardly qualifies you as an investigative reporter - especially when that same google search indicates &quot;a violent blow to your head can cause your brain to slide forcefully against the inner wall of your skull&quot; ---which would certainly appply to any overly aggressive and physical handling by the police.... 

Your &quot;PRO POLICE SAYS&quot; name only makes its pretty obvious you will spin away any accountablitiy on the part of the police department and worse yet - your fake sympathy for Chad is nothing short of disgusting.</description>

		<description>Boy, Pro Police, you have been real busy trying to minimize what the police have done. Your &quot;perp-falling scenario &quot; instead of chad being thrown to the floor and your alcohol poisoning  disinformation stunt takes the cake. You should be ashamed of yourself. You obviously, must be connected in some way with the police or you wouldn&#039;t be going out of your way to discredit Mr. Gibson and try and make the police look lilly white. I&#039;m sure most people can see through your &quot;concerns&quot; for what they are regarding Chad&#039;s health.</description>

		<description>There are often ways to spin any issue.  So let&#039;s bring it back to medical fact.  Chad has a concussion.  Here&#039;s what the Mayo Clinic, a renowned medical organization, has to say about that:

(this is excerpted only; read more here: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/concussion/DS00320/)

CAUSES:
Your brain has the consistency of gelatin. It&#039;s cushioned from everyday jolts and bumps by the cerebrospinal fluid that it floats in, inside your skull. A violent blow to your head can cause your brain to slide forcefully against the inner wall of your skull. Even the sudden stop of a car crash can bounce your brain off the inside of your skull. This can result in BLEEDING IN OR AROUND YOUR BRAIN and the tearing of nerve fibers.  (emphasis added)

RISK FACTORS:
ANY blow to the head can cause a concussion. FALLS and traffic accidents often involve concussions, with or without other injuries. Without proper safety equipment and supervision, student athletes may be at increased risk of concussions when playing football and other contact sports. (emphasis added)

I&#039;ve seen many people say that stumbling and falling couldn&#039;t cause a concussion.  That&#039;s medically inaccurate.  My last concussion was during a car wreck and was caused by simply banging my head against the window when I spun after I was t-boned.  Hitting my head against the window would carry a lot less velocity than a 150-pound man falling down and hitting his head against concrete, especially since he was in cuffs at the time and so wouldn&#039;t have been able to throw out his hands to cushion his fall.  What is ironic, here, is that he was in police custody, not police control.  Police control would indicate that they were controlling his movements/lack of movements at the time.  If, say, that had been the case, and they&#039;d forced him to sit down so he wouldn&#039;t fall down, I&#039;ll bet people would start calling that assault as well.  Either way, spin spin spin.

I&#039;ll repeat again that I feel bad for Chad as he recovers from alcohol poisoning and the effects of his self-sustained concussion...I imagine it hurts.  It&#039;s now come out that he was asked repeatedly by officers - both FWPD and TABC - to sit down after he was placed in cuffs, as he wasn&#039;t looking well.  I&#039;ve now seen two accounts of eyewitnesses who said he looked ill before he started throwing up and fell down.  So let&#039;s dial back the hysteria that this was caused by someone bashing his head in.  As with any concussion, recovery takes time.</description>
