Man dies after police use a 'body wrap'

Monday, April 4, 2005

A 26-year-old San Francisco man died early Sunday after struggling with police officers and being restrained with straps known as a "body wrap," the Police Department reported.

The department said its officers reached the Airport Inn on Airport Boulevard just past midnight after hotel guests complained that a person was knocking on their door and screaming.

Julio Armando Ayala was combative and confronted officers, the department said. After a 15-minute struggle, five officers restrained Ayala with the strap system but he soon stopped breathing, the department said.

The San Mateo County district attorney's office is investigating the death, routine in such cases.

police are upholding an illusory american value.they are literally armed and dangerous madpersons
by my opinion
LOL police arent mad persons! Their just have trouble when they

meet someone tougher than them.

took probably a whole bunch of them to subdue him when it would

take an average Joe 2 second max!

What the corporate press failed to mention, is that Julio did not simply "stop breathing" while in a constricting "body wrap". Tony, his childhood friend went to the funeral parlor to take pictures of Julio before the undertaker started prepping the body for the wake. Julio had suffered multiple lacerations and contusions, broken face, broken arm. To put it bluntly, Julio was beaten to death. By 13 officers.
This evening a crowd of Family, Friends and Supporters of Justice4JulioAyala gathered at 6 P.M in front of the SF Airport Inn, 751 Boulevard, and silently built an altar celebrating Julio's life and mourning his death, right under Room 203 where Julio was brutally murdered by San Mateo PD. Among us, companeros from Coleman Advocates, Radio 10-10, the family of Sheila Amaya killed in Union City, Sister Kissi from the Bayview Chapter of the Campaign to End the Death Penalty... Julio's murder is a tragic example of death row on the streets for our young Black and Brown Brothers and Sisters. The Hindu hotal management was extremely nervous about the altar, and told us they would dismantel it first thing in the morning "You made us loose 5 customers already today". After a tense ineraction, we all agreed to be supportive of each other (South East Asians are also victims of racial profiling since 9-11), to remove the altar from their lawn and transport it to the sidewalk.

Next action: Wednesday May 18, 5 P.M. on the steps of SSF City Hall. For more info, email iolmisha [at] cs.com

Julio, you have not died in vain !

The person who said that it would take an average person 2 seconds max is an idiot. How long would it take you? You dumb assed ignorant puke. ou are a fool. I don't side with the cops, but I do think that idiots who post idiotic responses are completely fucked. Your opinion is idiotic as are you.
by P-Dog
You are all punks and have no idea what you are talking about...he was not murdered, he was an out of control criminal on P.C.P. and would have died anyway...Go to Hell with all you're misinformation and hate.
by my opinion
Hey doubleday you just did side with the cops you ignorant puke,
so dont be giving me no lectures about idiotic responses when YOU made the dumbest response yet.

I dont know maybe people are tougher around where I grew up, but nobody and I mean nobody needed help with a 1 on 1 fight.
But I see 4 or 5 cops trying to arrest ONE guy and it makes me laugh thinking about how weak the Police in the cities actually are.

And yes the guy was Murdered, if you needed anymore than your own 2 arms and fists to capture the guy then you used a weapon and it's murder plain and simple.

And dont give me this he was on PCP crap, PCP doesnt make you freaking superman.
by Joel
You obviously have never tried to subdue someone or dealt with an individual on PCP. If my goal was to outright kill a person, I can do that without any help. To subdue someone and take them in custody w/o getting a buttload of stitches may require up to 4 other officers or the use of a taser,pepper spray,baton. If the person I'm dealing with has been on any kind of narcotic or alcohol, chances are they may die once in custody due to the overload on their system. It does not happen all that often but it happens.

I don't know any details of the event other than what is reported here. I do know that rsponders to these articles seem to lack a knowledge of policework, at least what is required of an officer. Every department has a policy concerning force. If they violated the law and/or department policy, they usually fry. If your friend was breaking the law and was not willing to obey the commands given, sorry for your loss.

BTW, having a great time keeping the cost of opium high. Wish you were here.

Dear my opinion,

Shut up. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. I GUARANTEE if you were in the same positin as the officers, but were alone..you would be eihter seriously injured or dead. And you have no idea about PCP...it doesn't make someone a superman...remember superman felt pain. A punk on PCP does not. Go back to the sticks you troll. Stay out of the big city....you can't handle the truth.
by Bro D
My opinion obviously has a high opinion of him/her self. I doubt if they have ever been in a fight let alone ended one in two seconds, unless of course they cold cocked someone. My opinion talks a good game, but I doubt they play one.
by my opinion
LOL

I made a whole bunch of people mad.

anyway in answer to your questions.

Joel said to subdue someone without giving them a buttload of

stitches may require 4 officers and a taser, pepper spray etc.

Why would you care about giving your "perp" stitches? isnt this

just a cop out for saying you cant handle the situation yourself?

And if dealing with someone on a narcotic they may die of

overload to their systems while in custody.

How is that any fault of Police? They took the drug so if the

person dies on the drug it's their own fault.

I agree with the rest of your statement.

Have fun keeping the cost of opium high, But it would be better

if you guys got rid of it.

To second opinion.

You say someone on PCP doesnt feel pain, then they have a

big advantage over anyone trying to fight them, But you cant be

a woosey and say oh no this guy has an advantage over me, I

guess I'll gang up on this guy.

Superman felt pain? I did not know that.

So you think I'm a Troll LOL, well since were calling each other

mythical beasts, I guess you'd be a gargoyle.

Apparently I cant handle the truth LOL, Oh No what am I ever

gonna do? maybe I'll take a truth handling course? and be the

best truth handler around oh king of truth handling.


To Bro D.

And maybe yes I have a positive self image, and yes I have

been in a couple of squabbles, which took longer than 2

seconds, and yes I enjoy playing games, such as video games,

board games, Basketball, football, soccer, Hockey, and red

rover.

Sincerely My opinion

and remember opinions are like buttholes everyone has one.

Would like to get rid of the opium, but they grow so much of it here, and mine their fields and car bomb the cops and, get this, most of this place is corrupt as all get out. surprisingly, there are people here willing to go out and cut the shit down and destroy it for about$50 a month.

For those that got their panties in a twist, check the use of force continuim as practiced by your local department. Hell, go for a few ride alongs. Just remember to keep your mouth shut till you have all the facts. see that the incident mentioned was probably one in a long line of similar events.

do more than regurgitate some one elses propaganda. Go see for yourself.
