Tennessee: Video shows restrained dying White man struggle to breathe as Cops taunt him
BBC ^ | May 21, 2021 | BBC

A US jail inmate died gasping for breath minutes after police officers held him face down, with one taunting: "You shouldn't be able to breathe."

New footage from the Tennessee facility shows how William Jennette, 48, was pinned down and tied a year ago.

"Help me," he pleaded with other staff at Marshall County Jail in Lewisburg, "they're going to kill me."

Asphyxia was listed as "a contributory cause of death" due to officers' use of the prone restraint.

Mr Jennette's official post-mortem examination was ruled a homicide, with "acute combined drug intoxication" also listed by the medical examiner as a cause of death.

Okay, we have a handcuffed White man in custody who can't breathe while being pinned to the floor by cops. Where's the media outrage?

A Whitey’s death won’t help move the country into communism, so the media will just hide it.

But there was a lot to be gained last May in Minneapolis: conditioning the folks to accept reparations.

His death was ruled a homicide but a grand jury declined to charge any of the officers involved.

Bigger question is... Where are the boot lickers around here with this one? LE is always in the right when it is a black man.

This has to stop... It is wrong no matter what ethnic background the suspect/perp/victim is.

I am thinking that white privilege doesn’t allow for us to loot Foot Locker and Best Buy.

Some cops are dicks. Some cops are awesome. I presume some cops are somewhere in the middle.

Happily my life and circumstances involve almost zero police contact. Lucky me. Back the blue?? Meh. I now realize most of them will do what they’re told and thinking that they will side with liberty loving patriots is misguided, at best. Your mileage may vary.
