I’m upset the police officers described her as manic. In the video she appeared to be scared and crying but answering questions just fine. When I hear someone being described as manic I think if that person running around, screaming and out of control.[/quote]

The part that says manic is the reporting officer summarizing the boyfriend’s account of the morning leading up to the incident, not their characterization of her behavior after the stop.

I don’t think we can determine from the limited pieces we have whether the boyfriend is lying, using the concept of a manic phase correctly, or using it incorrectly/colloquially. It could be any of the 3. Running around, screaming is not always how a manic episode presents in people. It could escalate to what you described. I’m inclined to think the boyfriend is unqualified to diagnose anything and had other motives at the time of his statement, so I wouldn’t put much stock into it other than what it is, which is a window into his mindset.
