Yale University: Police transport may influence restraint use in the hospital emergency department. Really!

An elite university confirming the obvious (akin to confirmation bias)! Plus, adding some racism ideology! 

Of course, individuals delivered to a hospital ED room are more likely to be restrained than otherwise coming to an ED room!

So ridiculous and so stupid coming from a top university!

"Perception of threat. People brought to the emergency department by police are more than five times likelier to be restrained there than those arriving by other means, a new Yale study found — a phenomenon that disproportionately affects Black patients."
