Very short. Anastasia. Anastasia. >> I need you to feel. >> Oh my god. Open. I I know. No. No. No. I cannot feel my arm. Please open my [ __ ] arm. I cannot feel my arm. Please open my arm. I >> actually quite normal. >> Yes. Open. Open. Open. I asked to open. I aming asked to open. I shoot you. I have some. >> Yeah, very quickly. Uh about 2 hours ago, we had one of our customers who became quite belligerent and physical with us. She would not calm down. We detected she's been uh drinking heavily before she got on the plane. And we didn't detect until about 2 hours ago. We're suspected there's other medication that she's been using and so she can get very physical. We did have to restrain her. We did use flex or anything. >> No, she pushed me a few times and grabbed us and grabbed our legs a few times, but we did put flex cuffs on her. She is all the way in the back. >> All the back. Okay. I'm going to need to later on. >> Okay. Let's just go back there. We'll let everybody see Mark. Have her stay on the plane till everybody. Everybody wants to talk first. >> Okay. >> Before the officers even approached the passenger, they have already been given a powerful narrative. She was heavily intoxicated, possibly mixing alcohol with medication, and had become physically aggressive. That information may be accurate, but at this point, it is still the crew's account, not an independently confirmed medical conclusion. And that distinction matters. In high pressure situations, the first explanation officers receive can shape everything that follows. how they interpret confusion, how quickly they perceive resistance, and whether they see the person primarily as a threat or as someone experiencing a medical crisis. The crew clearly had legitimate safety concerns. They reported being pushed and grabbed, and restraining an aggressive passenger may have been necessary, but good crisis response requires officers to hold two possibilities at the same time. This person may be dangerous, and this person may also be seriously impaired. The question is not whether intervention was needed. It is whether every step afterward remained necessary, proportionate, and medically informed. America, what she >> go, >> what you have on everybody. How are you ma'am? >> Good. >> Can you speak English? >> No. Yes, I speak English. My name is >> because I don't have I'm not feel. It's very hot. Anastasia. Anastasia. >> I need you to go open.

I killed someone. HEY, YOU LOST. Oh my god. I'm not [ __ ] Can you excuse me? Can someone listen to me? Please don't listen to me and no one else to me. I don't feel my >> traing.

I will s you >> start Baker. >> She's on. >> Can you open my arm? >> She doesn't know like alcohol. >> Can you open my arm? >> [ __ ] American. Oh my god. for this episode >> 25 over. >> This is where the situation becomes more complicated. One officer appears to note that she does not smell strongly of alcohol. While the crew explains that she had initially been calm, communicating normally, and then changed suddenly after returning to her bag. That does not prove she was sober, and it does not rule out drugs or medication. But it weakens the simple explanation that this was nothing more than ordinary drunken behavior. A sudden and dramatic change in speech, awareness, aggression, and emotional control, can have several possible causes, including intoxication, an adverse reaction, or an acute medical or psychological episode. None of those possibilities excuse threats or physical aggression. Safety still comes first, but the cause of the behavior should influence the response. A person deliberately refusing instructions and a person who cannot fully understand those instructions may look similar on camera while requiring very different handling. At this moment, the priority should be containment, continuous observation, and rapid medical assessment, not assuming the initial theory has already been proven. Well, first she she came home. Um, what you do? >> Mhm. >> She was fine. She was talking to us. She seems normal. She went up to her bag. She got some stuff out of her bag. Came back here. She was I went out front there. She was talking to Susan >> and I I don't know if she went into the bathroom or not. I I can't confirm that. But >> something got started to get loud. >> Yeah, she started to get loud. So we tried to quiet her down the seat belt. We sent her back to the seat. >> And she was that was it. She just kept ramling back. It's okay. >> Oh, she kept trying to get back to the seat. You were trying to get back to the scene from where? >> From here. I was trying to get I was trying to move next to her because >> you don't know. So I would stop. So we would try to stop her. She wasn't listening for America. >> Yes. I'm spider my >> Let's go people. Get your stuff and go. Take my phone. MY SPY. Take my phone. I'm Russian spy. Kill me. >> What can we use? >> I don't have a We have We have people here. >> Kill me. I'm Russian spy. Oh. Oh. Kill me. >> I wasing proud of the Russ. I was water drunk and you did a rat. >> What? What? >> What the [ __ ] >> Take it off. Take it off. Take it for Take it off. Take it off. I'm American. I'm American. Take it off. I'm American. Take it off. Take it off. I'm American. I'm American. Everything in in my phone. The next thing is tasing if you pick. Okay, grab your >> I don't want to hurt you. So, just only put this on because you were spitting. Okay, >> take it off. Take it off. >> I'm going to take it off in the hospital. >> I cannot breathe. I CANNOT BREATHE. >> YOU'RE NOT THINKING CLEARLY. >> I cannot breathe. >> You just calm down. >> I cannot breathe. Take it off. Take it off. I cannot breathe. >> Come on, bro. >> Relax. I said, "What you want to >> relax?" Okay, >> take it off. >> Relax. >> Take it off. >> Going to stay on till we get to the hospital. Take it off. No one's trying to hurt. >> Now, the confrontation reaches its most sensitive point. Officers say the face covering was applied because she had attempted to spit a real safety concern that can expose officers and medical personnel to bodily fluids. At the same time, she repeatedly says that she cannot breathe and begs for it to be removed. Those statements cannot automatically be treated as proof that the device is obstructing her breathing. She is visibly distressed, struggling, and speaking continuously, but they also should not be dismissed simply because she is combative. Once a restrained person reports breathing difficulty, officers have a responsibility to reassess the restraint, monitor her condition, and ensure that panic or physical positioning is not creating an additional medical risk. This is the difficult balance at the center of the footage. Officers must protect themselves without allowing control measures to become punishment. Her kicking, spitting, and threats may justify restraint. They do not eliminate her right to medical attention. The legitimacy of the response depends not only on why force began, but on whether it remained necessary at every moment afterward. >> Okay, take it off. Take it off. I was in hospital, boy. I was [ __ ] studying hospital. Take it off. TAKE IT OFF. I WAS in hospital here too. Take it off. I say take it off. I say America. Take it off. Bless. Take it off.
