TL;DR Summary

Seven California Highway Patrol officers and a nurse have been charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the 2020 death of Edward Bronstein, who died while in custody after being restrained by multiple officers as they tried to take a blood sample. The LA County coroner said Bronstein's death was caused by "acute methamphetamine intoxication during restraint by law enforcement." The officers face up to four years in prison and have been put on administrative leave. Bronstein's death prompted the CHP to change its policies to prevent officers from using techniques or transport methods that involve a substantial risk of positional asphyxia.
