  1. Nah….not like a dog.

  2. "he ran away." Good people do not resist arrest folks. stop feeling sympathy for the bad guys, hypocrites.

  3. read the protocals of the elders of zion and youll understand

  4. “Medical issues” doesn’t equal “injuries”

  5. I back the blue 100%, just opposite of the Democratic Party

  6. This Ben crump is banking from blacks getting killed.

  7. Ben Crump? I knew it. Hilarious

  8. Why are they reporting this? Oh wait, was it a big fat person? Say, are you about a size 13?

  9. "Possibly related to pre-existing medical ailments." Possibly is rather vague. There's too much of this going on. Why wasn't he promptly given medical aid?

  10. Häxprocesser

    Under 1500- och 1600-talen pågick religionskrig runt om i Europa. Nationalstater växte fram och kristendomen användes som politisk ideologi för att ena folket. Samtidigt pågick häxprocesser i den kristna världen och tiotusentals människor i Europa blev anklagade för häxeri och avrättade. I Sverige var häxprocesserna relativt få, men när häxprocesserna i stort sett hade upphört under 1700-talet hade ungefär 400 personer avrättats för brottet. De flesta av dessa var kvinnor.

  11. Never allow the state government to do an autopsy because the state government is known to cover-up and falsify autopsy report under the direct orders from police union.

  12. Riots and looting on the streets breaking out right now because of this. Kentucky looking to declare Martial Law because of it. Dang.

  13. The guys doctor must have forgotten to tell him to stay out of trouble, stay calm and never run from the police.

  14. We should be well past the point wherein police investigate themselves. Every single time a person dies in police custody, the FBI should do all investigation, including the autopsy. There does not exist a police department that can be trusted. Not one. In texas, a coroner need not have even one day of medical training. No medical training, and no experience. Coroners. No training.

  15. "and another one"~BIGGIE

  16. sad but people die in police custody all the time, doesn't look to me like they did anything wrong by the video!
