We were sent the following statement from the man who made the video. Hopefully, we can bring ENOUGH OUTRAGE over this video - for JUSTICE to be served on those officers:
Dallas County Sheriff's Department Killed my brother Joseph Hutcheson. Here is about 14 min the video is over 40min
I need Justice for my brother. The deputy that put his knee in his throat is still working for the sheriff. He should be fired and charges should be filed .. How about all the ones who did not Help??? The dallas county medical examiner Kept his throat organs .. We would have never known this if we did not get a second autopsy .. I don't care what he did its not a death Sentence . They Killed my Brother Joseph Hutcheson

(14,449 posts)Hard to tell what went on except that individuals ran from him and the camera was placed poorly to see what was going on besides wrestling him. His legs moved through most of the video until the last officer stopped him from moving the legs. I think cameras need to be advanced and placed in better locations to see what is going on. Best of luck to the family.

(21,714 posts)Something hinkey was going on. The people sitting on the bench cleared out pretty fast with the brother came up to sit down, and that was before the "security" showed up. We have no idea if the guy was begging for help or cussing the people who were sitting out. It should definitely be investigated, but we can't tell for sure what exactly happened.

(3,183 posts)It was heart wrenching to say the least but he said that when you see him bending over quickly he was coughing.

(6,891 posts)death can be justified. Once he was down and cuffed the cops continued inflicting harm. It doesn't appear as though they were much concerned whether they killed him or not.

(3,366 posts)It's devastating. He's dead at 5:50, and the brother's description of the cops' behavior is heart-breaking.
Yay cops!
