Audio recordings of Brian Cardall incident (911 and on-scene)
Brian Cardall (32) of Flagstaff, Arizona died on June 9, 2009 after he had what his wife called a “psychotic breakdown”. He was “acting crazy”, stripped off his clothing, and was “directing traffic” on Highway 59 near Hurricane, Utah totally nude.
His wife called 911, advised them of his bi-polar disorder and that his medication would not take affect for another 40 minutes.
Police arrived on-scene several minutes later and deployed a taser (twice) when he was uncooperative and failed to follow orders. He died shortly thereafter.
According to Amnesty International….more than 350 Americans in the past 8 years have died after being tased.
Now the audio recordings of both the 911 call and the officer’s digital recorder have been made available, you can listen to them below.
