Media summary: Colindres was severely autistic and intellectually disabled. His parents called 911 for help getting him into a crisis center when he became agitated. Local police, familiar with the situation and supposedly trained, hogtied him and left him prone outside until he stopped breathing, then brushed aside the parents' pleas to call an ambulance. "Are you a doctor?" one of the police sarcastically asked the father. Colindres lapsed into coma and died on 1/5/07. As of December 2014 the parents were still attempting to collect a $2.75M settlement from the state.
