he caught the attention of police for weaving in and out of traffic. He ended up dead.
The death of an unarmed 52-year-old man who died after an Alabama police officer kneeled on his neck was ruled a homicide by a county coroner, according to an official autopsy reviewed by The Associated Press.
The report issued by the Jefferson County medical examiner’s office concludes Reeder, of Irondale, Alabama, died last August of heart failure "associated with cocaine use and restraint during altercation."

Sandra Lee Reeder said that the body camera footage shows her husband running from police when they arrived. Police then shocked Reeder with a Taser, placed him in handcuffs and laid him on his stomach, she said. One officer put his knee on Reeder’s neck for over three minutes, she said.

Sandra Lee Reeder said her husband can be heard saying “I can't breathe” three times.

The autopsy said Reed had multiple non-lethal wounds and bruising from the attempted arrest by the police. Sandra Lee Reeder said she could see he was bleeding from his face in the video.

Reeder was unresponsive when the officer rolled him over onto his back, according to the coroner's report. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital just after 6:30 a.m.

They didn't learn from George Floyd's death? And this was a white guy, married to a white woman, and they still thought they'd get away with it? Or have the training rules not been amended as they have in other areas especially since the knee-on-the-neck death of Floyd?
 
I'm sure someone, somewhere is already writing out a detailed screed about how it's all really somehow Barack Obama's fault. It's only a matter of time.
You mean like how for 10 years you can't go thirty seconds without saying something about Trump.

No one projects worse than a leftwing bigoted cultist.

trump makes sure he's always in the news cycle. he's been the president or running for president for the last 10 years and is the most recognized person on the planet.

but sure, small minded magatard, blame others just like he does.

If someone’s cuffed and on their belly, why the need to kneel on their neck at all.

Trump's second term is the reincarnation of Woodrow Wilson: Finishing the job and picking up where Wilson left off in making America super WHITE AGAIN.

Welp, looks like Floyd's death wasn't because of racism after all...

In law enforcement, officers are taught / trained to “control the head”, because “where the head goes, the body follows”.

If done CORRECTLY, it actually makes things safer for the individual being subdued & the officer(s) involved, because it establishes definitive control of the situation.

Unfortunately, too many cops get into the habit of using the head of a subdued / handcuffed individual as a knee-rest when a subdued / handcuffed individual has been placed in a prone position on the ground: A cop who is exhausted from a chase or a prolonged struggle is more likely to do it - for a number of reasons - and it is totally unacceptable.

When death or injury results from a cop kneeling on a subdued (handcuffed) individual’s neck (to rest or to inflict suffering as payback for resisting), then they deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. They know the potential consequences of their unprofessional & unlawful actions.
