#Tennessee #Jail #CaughtOnCamera

Looks like they brought him food. They were met with punches. Dude kept trying to assault. They backed off, dude went for a walk naked through the jail possibly to hurt more people, officers apprehended him as he was trying to violently resist, he later died of a heart attack. What did the officers do again? Their job.. this is why officers are quitting the force, they dont want to be on the news, fired or go to jail because some freak wants to be violent…
"Don't do the crime if you can't do the time." ….. Sammy Davis Jr.
On a side note, Kathy Park is smart, beautiful AND an amazing journalist.
Don't worry God is going to get y'all 🙏
These cowards are going to get what they deserve but I can't wait till the young ones start rettall
Alright how many millions does she want?
#PASS THE GEORGE FLOYD POLICE REFORM INTO LAW
The crazy naked criminal attacked the officers first, yet the criminals' family always claim their "loved" one were brutally attacked without telling the whole picture…

Don't you understand that this is a National Security Breach? This poor guy all of you against one weak frail, malnourished, mentally ill person? The Code of Federal Regulations Under National Security prohibits this. I cry havoc. I cry apocalypse. Let loose the four horsemen of the apocalypse to avenge the cruel death of this poor helpless defenseless human being
killed by the jail staff who were supposed to take care of him. Apocalypse Now.
This is just critical thinking by me
National Security Breach. I cry havoc. 😈👿
National Security!

This is a National Security Breach.
Read The Code Of Federal Regulations under National Security.
This is a Breach of National Security.
If you don't believe me read it.
It rises to the level of a National Security Breach. It's Treasonous.
Bit off more than he could chew. Maybe he shouldn't have sung on the officer. Swing on one get what you seek. Yea her son was a good kidknapper and domestic abuser. One less violent criminal. Good job.
He won't get out to claim more victims. Kinda reminds you of fentanyalfloyd. No sympathy for violent criminals.
domestic violence? looks like he got a taste.
Wow that’s BRUTAL
Wow, a black family wants easy money from the death of a person they raised to be a thug. What a surprise. 😂
When the nice police officer ask you to do something, you do it.
Then stuff like this won’t happen. Period.
Don't commit crimes. Don't go to jail. Problem solved.
The family is demanding justice. LETS DELIVER IT TO THEM.
Democracy 100%
these officers have my support
There's riadict behavior shown in the edited footage, but if they are saying there's more than there's no wonder why it ook so many people to restrain him. Also cause of death is a heart attack, which could have been caused from the extreme strain on his body from fighting the officers as well as the officers striking him to subdue him. We would need medical records to show if he had heart problem or if family has a history to prove the officers liable for his death, since this video shows him fighting and not complaining while naked.
Cops are criminals.
End qualified immunity.
This is what they do to Aboriginal people in custody here in Australia.
Doctor Martin Luther King jr. Had a dream and it hasn't been fulfilled. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to The unfinished work which they who fought here has thus far so nobly advanced it is rather here for us to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increase devotion to the cost of which they gave their last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain and this nation under God and the government of the people for the people by the people shall not perish from Earth
Oh yeah..there's cameras in here now
I democracy and our freedoms are fragile
Either either we have equal rights and we share the power or we need to get together and talk about this
A state where it's illegal to perform in drag but legal to murder inmates.
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today…..
Can't help feel some of these inmates have a death wish, are suicidal. That's certainly no excuse for these guards to unleash the beatings. Aren't they equipped with tasers in these detention spaces/prisons?
"If you ever wanna see the absolute scum of the earth . Visit any jail/ prison anywhere IN America at shift change "
actual words from
Paul Harvey,
I pray for his family.
looks like excited delirium…normally ends in cardiac arrest
Imagine being beaten to death by your own race when you complain about other races killing your own in cold blood
Looks like self defense to me.
