The short version, according to authorities: The man ran into the building sometime after 10 a.m., yelled for help, was placed in handcuffs, lost consciousness and died.

...

The man then ran into the main lobby of the Lew Sterrett Justice Center, yelling his wife was trying to kill him, Reyna said.

A deputy restrained the man with handcuffs, “believing that he may be a threat to himself or others until they could calm the man down,” Reyna said in an email.

April Berryhill, who had come to the jail to submit a property release form, said she saw one sheriff’s deputy with his knee on the man’s back and another one with a knee on the man’s throat.

Man runs into jail yelling for help. Cops take him down, cuff him and kneel on his throat until he is dead. Man no longer needs help.

Remember that the Dallas County Sheriff is a lesbian.

“He said,”You’re standing on my chest.”

Must be black, because otherwise you’d never hear about it.

Truck looked more like what a Mexican or Anglo would drive.

So if he said he announced he wanted to kill his wife, they would have tackled and hog tied the wife?

Wife called before he came in. They were waiting for him. Got the message.

So the wife called? Did she warn them she wanted to kill her husband? Or did she she tell the cops her husband thinks she wanted to kill him, so please arrest him when he arrives? ☺

Heh!

Berryhill said the man told the deputies he couldn’t breathe before they uncuffed him and lay him down on his back.

By then, the color on his face had turned pale white to pale blue.

Choked the black right out of him...8>)

"Raul Reyna, the Dallas County sheriff’s office spokesman ......Reyna said deputies saw what “appeared to be narcotics” in the truck."

This was after his death. Gee what a coincidence.

Must be black

From the article: By then, the color on his face had turned pale white to pale blue.

High yellow, maybe.

[Louis Foxwell]

Just guessing. Sounds fishy, though.

Not everything is a conspiracy.

Sounds like a bad OD.

[sparklite2]

‘Not everything is a conspiracy.”

No, just things we don’t like.
I it’s something we do like,
it’s God’s will (thank you, Jesus).

So he was right, and she was successful.

[PAR35]

I’ve never heard of cops kneeling on someone described as an overdose before.

[wiggen]

how stupid would a person have to be to go TO the police looking for help with illegal drugs in his car?
I am on kidney list. waiting for a new one. I have to take 10 different pills every night. I am seriously reluctant to fly because i’d have to carry a batch of legal meds. Who needs the harassment?

[DrDude]

Written by an idiot trying to stir the pot. How did a man DIE and then run into the building and ask for help a second time? Please read and let me know if I am losing my mind. 34 years as a Detective in Homicide. Never once had a dead person run into a building and ask for help.

Protip: If you seek justice, stay away from the judicial system and anything called a "Justice Center".
