The officer who told the jury he has been diagnosed with PTSD because of the incident, said he struck Myles Gray in the face multiple times.
Birzneck said he now works as a use-of-force training officer and at the time of Gray’s death he was a trained crisis negotiator.Birzneck was also trained to use pepper spray, a baton, a long rifle, a handgun and a device that shoots rubber bullets when in a crowd-control situation, he said.Birzneck told the inquest that he thought mental health, drugs, or a combination of both potential factors were affecting Gray’s behaviour.
When the three officers found Gray in a yard, Folkestad said he believed Gray wanted to fight them and at one point he “tensed every part of his body” and roared. The officers couldn’t let Gray go free based on his behaviour leading up to and during the altercation with police, Birzneck told the inquest in response to a question from a lawyer for the Vancouver Police Department.
Birzneck said the manoeuvre involves applying even pressure on both sides of the neck in an attempt to reduce blood flow and induce temporary unconsciousness.Article contentBirzneck said he held on until another officer told him that they had Gray handcuffed.
