An investigator at the scene noted the bruises on Berkeley&#8217;s body and the two officers nearby, and said the death would have been suspicious if not for the body camera videos showing Berkeley&#8217;s demeanor, Southerd said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This video was like something I&#8217;ve never seen before,&#8221; Southerd said. &#8220;The guy was completely going nuts in the bedroom, banging into walls, flipping things over. He completely tore the room up, and once they got him subdued he died.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If it wasn&#8217;t for the body cameras I&#8217;d probably have two officers in jail right now,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Even our crime scene guys came in and said I&#8217;ve got a room completely torn up with bruises all over [the deceased], and two officers. I wouldn&#8217;t know how to rule this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read the Remainder at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/news.vice.com\/article\/police-are-freaking-out-over-drugged-up-flakka-zombies?utm_source=vicenewsemail\">Vice News<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems every year there is some type of new synthetic drug on the streets, Flakka is the latest.
