  1. Why didn't he just comply he brought that on himself next time just comply the officers did nothing wrong

  2. Я думал в США уважают права людей

  3. But it's a normal day in the U.S.A. …nothing new .
    What an exemplary society.
    🥳🥳🥳🥳

  4. They expected to get help for him, instead he was dumped in a cell and froze to death. His crime was mental illness, how would being dumped in a prison cell help him? The family, friends expected help for him and now here they are burying him. He needed to be committed, not incarcerated. Horrible 💔.

  5. this should really blow up. i'm black and ik if he was black, it would have to blow up. they should be I jail for murdering him

  6. They were heroes who made a mistake… blah-blah-blah… same old criminals.

  7. Haha… the gov investigating the gov.

  8. 🛑 He was locked in a freezer 🧊

  9. This would get alot more attention if he wasn't white

  10. Good thing the USA privatize these institutions so they don’t have accountability. Guess that’s one way of protecting democracy and nation security. Just say, that’s not us. But if a private company in China does the same it’s because of the CCP. 😂 how’s that sheep brainwashing for pro freedom lovers. 😂

  11. The FBI is so soft when it comes to things like this!

  12. The jailers dont care, they arent paying the settlement…

  13. Real life police officers who apparently don't behave like the kind, helpful officers you see on Cops and Live PD. What a shock.

  14. More police brutality. Wonder if this will be big in the news? Cuz he's white and all. Why is the white community not outraged!

  15. 9 of the top 11 states with the lowest per capita state spending on law enforcement? The Republican-led states of South Dakota, West Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Iowa, Arkansas, Indiana and Kentucky.

  16. Hope all you bad cops get whats coming. Never trust your local police.

  17. Dear White Christian conservatives how does it feel to be treated like one of "those people?" You have my compassion but not my sympathies.

  18. I have been openly harassed here in the city of raleigh for well over a decade and this is pretty much how the police respond. Its really the same mentality. the whole city is very corrupt but if there was a decent attorney they could probably make a fortune suing the Raleigh Police Department

  19. Unfortunately, this is not surprising.

  20. See it ain't always obviously racist. It's the actual organization of law enforcement.

  21. He was frozen to death the police officers murdered this person

  22. Dont break the law and go to jail….

  23. Put the people in charge on trial. This is so disgusting and cruel.

  24. He and his family need justice, this is horrible. We citizens need police to be held financially and criminally responsible for crimes they commit against people they should be protecting and serving.

  25. Wish the FBI would investigate Joe Biden.

  26. Normal. Prison guards are diabolic f*Ith

  27. It's not safe for Canadians to travel to the USA, too many Redneck Law Officials that seem to get away with anything, traffic stops just to fleece you and thousands of dollars to get out of jail for having the wrong licence plate on your car and then the Police claiming your driver's permit is not valid in the USA……..yeah one female cop was that stupid!!!
