The fact that Sia's Music portrays physical abuse -- potentially lethal physical abuse at that -- as a reasonable response to an autistic child is really disturbing.
Prone restraint kills.
In the last 10 years the police have killed at least 107 people that way. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.10tv.com/amp/article/news/investigations/10-investigates/at-least-107-people-have-died-since-2010-due-to-prone-restraints/530-3363bf95-d125-4960-b714-c6f5d328266e
