From the facebook page, The Thehumanformerly Known As Brandon This is Robert Ethan Saylor a 26 year old man with down syndrome who was known for his hugs and his love of police, that love came to an end last year, when Saylor went with an aide to the movies, after the movie was over the aide went to get the car, but Saylor decided he was going to watch the movie again, at which point a worker at the movies called for security, which was three off-duty officers, who were working security, of course an incident occurred which resulted in Saylors death, the police of course say he resisted so they restrained him using three sets of handcuffs because of his large size the officers placed him on his stomach, and while still laying on his stomach Saylor started showing signs of breathing distress, which led to his death, which was ruled a homicide as a result of asphyxia by the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Baltimore, and like in the Eric Garner case, the police placed the blame for Saylors death on his health saying that Down syndrome and obesity made Saylor more susceptible to breathing problems, even though medical records show that Saylor had NO ongoing health issues, and the killers of Robert Ethan Saylor, the cops he looked up to, were cleared of any wrong doing...how many more people have to die at the hands of police before we as a people say ok, thats enough...Americans from all walks of life, white women, black men, old black women, old white men...everyone from housewives, to mothers, fathers, cousins and aunts...have been the victim of some dick-head ego-trippin cop...
