Warning: This video could be found disturbing by some audiences.
An in-depth investigation by the Associated Press and Frontline PBS examined over 1,000 cases of in-custody police deaths where guns were not used and found that more than 10 percent involved the use of powerful sedatives on the subjects in police care.
According to its investigation, the Associated Press found that California had one of the highest number of restraint deaths where sedatives were used in the country.
CBS 8's own investigation discovered that in San Diego County, six people of the 16 in-custody deaths since 2013 where guns were not used had been injected with Midazolam while in custody or while being held in a prone position or placed into police restraints.
