Newly released body camera footage from an arrest in Oklahoma City last year shows a suspect saying I cant breathe before he died at a hospital.
In the May 20, 2019 footage, released this week by the Oklahoma City Police Department, three officers are seen restraining the man, Derrick Scott, 42, who can be heard asking repeatedly for his medicine and saying that he cant breathe.
I dont care, one of the officers, Jarred Tipton, can be heard replying at one point. You can breathe just fine, another officer can be heard saying a couple of minutes later.
Scott, who appears unresponsive several minutes into the footage, was later pronounced dead at a local hospital. An autopsy obtained by NBC News lists his cause of death as a collapsed lung.

His manner of death was listed as undetermined.

(5,969 posts)Of course, they were cleared of any wrongdoing. They get to keep their jobs with the license and approval to kill more. Those sick fucks should have lost their jobs on the spot and put behind bars.
How many more need to get murdered because the criminals are the ones in uniform?
