A man armed with a knife and reported to be bipolar died after a struggle with Pasadena police officers who were called to an apartment early Friday following reports of a disturbance. Paramedics also tried but failed, and the man was pronounced dead at his apartment in a modest Pasadena neighborhood. “But he wasn’t treated as a patient or a victim,” Elder continued. “He was treated as a suspect, and that’s how they treat us.”But he wasn’t treated as a patient or a victim. Elijah Floyd, who lives in an apartment just across a walkway from Thomas’s apartment, called him a doting, stay-at-home father who never caused neighbors any trouble.
