From Aggression to Malingering in 10 Seconds

The moment the handcuffs are introduced, the psychological dynamic shifts instantly from aggression

to malingering. Malingering is the intentional production of false or grossly exaggerated physical

or psychological symptoms motivated by external incentives. The incentive here is clear,

avoidance of incarceration. The suspect transitions from the alpha role, screaming orders, to the invalid role,

gasping for air, in less than 10 seconds. This speed is clinically significant.

A true panic attack or asthma attack rarely onsets with such convenient timing immediately

following a legal defeat. This behavior serves a dual purpose. First,

it causes delay, forcing the police to pause the transport process and engage medical services.
