Newly released video from the Oklahoma City Police Department provides some insight into the arrest and death of a black man in police custody last year.

In the video, Derrick Scott, 42, is pinned to the ground by two police officers and could be heard saying, "I can't breathe." One officer responds "I don't care."

One hour after he was taken into custody, Scott was dead.

According to a statement issued by the Oklahoma City Police Department, officers responded to a call on May 20, 2019. It had been reported that a black man at the location was arguing with individuals and brandishing a gun.
