  1. Everyone wants money now and days, they don't want "Justice." The fact of the matter is dude assaulted people while there and force was use on someone weighing 200 + pound, whose fighting back. Those workers did what was right. Sedation was probably something they WERE going to use, once he was under control and not swinging. Commentators don't know how these patients are and assume everyone's a victim when a cop or nurse is involve. Stop being hypocrites and use your brain! 💯

  2. How did the situation get to this point? Why did it require that many staff members to handle one patient?

  3. Thank you Lord Jesus for the gift of life and blessings to me and my family $14,120.47 weekly profit our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!!🙏❤️❤️

  4. They do this even at CRC Tucson… UMC South. I am so disappointed I'm the health care system those who are supposed to be helped with mental health gets hurt. Pathetic I pray for a nation wide shake up of mental health services.

  5. This is what happens with alot of black people who earn a living working for white people or for a system designed by white people- they tend to behave just like them!

    FIND YOUR SOUL BEFORE YOU FIND YOUR POSITION!!!🖤🖤🖤

  6. BLACK ON BLACK CRIME ????

    *********************************************

  7. I never find it a great thing for anyone going to prison each one standing and looking all that was there I pray each day you live in prison think on how horrible you treated that man!

  8. Such a tragedy! I see professionals trying to do their (difficult) jobs, assisting a likely psychotic patient, very strong and things go sideways tragically. I see perhaps mistakes (not starting CPR immediately), but no malice, no ill will. Nothing meriting 2nd degree MURDER charges. Vigilante Prosecuting attorney in my opinion. Lori

  9. Lack of training and overweight people with low IQs are a deadly combination.

  10. A MAJOR overhaul in many organizations of new & retraining when it comes to getting people under control.10 people jammed on top is not getting him properly restrained. This was at a mental facility.

  11. The tyranny is NOT going to stop until they abolish qualified immunity….& NOT get paid vacations while they investigate themselves & find NO wrongdoing then get promoted….it’s appalling!

  12. 50% inmates fault 50% staff police fault

  13. Lmfao what do they expect to happen with 8 men on you

  14. Charge everyone in the video.
    They failed to stop a homicide that occured in front of their eyes.

  15. The Chief said "They did their job and even went above and beyond."

    Just goes to show you can't trust pigs.

  16. so the prisoner has no responsibility at all for his actions??? Don't worry people U will all find out exactly how guys like that prisoner really are when you have no police willing to take the job and defend all you police haters. Comply and none of these incidents would happen.

  17. 10 piled on him???? It's because there were no more cops on the scene. Would have been more. He was lucky they were only 10… His unlucky part was to live in USA that third world sub country dump…

  18. All pigs are criminals and murderers

  19. Only black cops are easily sent to jail

  20. Nah….. hospital could have jabbed him with some meds…. those healthcare providers should be ashamed of themselves. Unfortunately we have come to expect this from the police.

  21. Who put, the Cat 🐈‍⬛ in the Bag ? 🐈
