he caught the attention of police for weaving in and out of traffic. He ended up dead.
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?
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.

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.
