members of milwaukee art asking for the resignation of the police chief edward
lane after a twenty two-year-old but in the derrick williams died in the back of
the squad car now the video that were about to show you is very graphic i'm
warning you guys ahead of time pisses him basically struggling to breathe and
baking police officers to help
let's watch
demand
anymore
now ke was arrested on suspicion of robbery
uh... however a police officers did not know that he has something known as a
sickle cell trait
uh... and during the arrest apparently they use stuff force they put him in the
back of the police car wear and tear william started asking for help because
he had trouble breathing now that video actually went on for about eight minutes
and you can hear the officers as saying that he's just playing games
they're completely ignoring hand they're not helping at all in the meantime he's
saying i can't breathe i need help please i need help
they're not helping him well derrick williams uh... eventually dies because
he could not three and would police officers rail realized it here's their
reaction
so this incident happened into a lot of twenty eleven of reporters in the area
of work asking for that
output video footage to be released but it took them ten months to release it
and you can see c_y_ home because of investigation by the milwaukee journal
snap sizzle
that we would know about this is really
i mean obviously his family and then the really solid best it work for maternal
and it's definitely inspiring to see that there are still real journalists
out there they're calling attention to important issues like this
but
so it took ten months for this five footage to be released and as i
mentioned earlier she has something known as a sickle cell trade which means
that if oxygen is disrupted for even a split second what happens is his red
blood cells become misshapen and after their michigan because a lot his blood
vessels making it difficult to brief so that was what was happening to him in
that video because when op officers arrested him initially they used some
force uh... drove down to the floor one of them have to meet their needs in his
back
you know while they were handcuffing him
you know it kind of trigger or triggered uh... the reaction that you guys on that
video
now the community is a questioning why the officers wouldn't do anything he was
begging for help for about the minutes in that video so couple things here
first of all
could they have known that he had this very rare condition
no corsica development second of all that
do some
people they detain faded
i'm sure that my and i'm sure that's part of what led to a callousness
if you're a cop began your job is to serve and protect right now here's a guy
you've arrested nothing wrong with that
you know you wrestle for whatever reason that you did great
even if he's faking
take in the hospital you know why
because it turns out sometimes
they're not taking it
and then the guy's gonna die
twin somebody says that camporee
as a cop do
have to believe that
depicted
so what you think in the hospital he's under arrest what difference does it
make
bet that he doesn't die with this stuff in the obvious unfortunate i don't
notice something inherent in their job of cops and having to deal with so much
bs probably would be proud people that they get so sometimes some of them guest
so callous that they just feel back at the back of the squad car doesn't matter
you can say anything he wants
we're not going to help them at all
and look what happens in this case uh... it's a terrible idea shall the medical
examiner's office unusually listed this that as uh... a death caused by natural
causes right
and they depended on detectives description of the facts they didn't
even do an investigation before they came to that conclusion
however because all of the journalists in this case it because of the community
uh... the medical examiner's office has actually changed it from natural causes
to homicide
uh... cell at the investigation is ongoing however the police chief says
that he will not step down in fact when you reach of his exact quote if they
think they can accomplish that i'd welcome them to try
but i'm not going anywhere
political ability of the police chief
as regards to these cops depends of course it interaction
what's the orders that he gave has this happened before not this specific thing
but how they treated other detainees et cetera so that's their role in into that
particular besieged but love in the media doing their job here is both of
you pointed out by the reason we showed the video is
but it's important
for you to see the actual consequences
so that we can get awareness comes with awareness
hopefully things get a little better
because why honestly
because people want to get in trouble
so they think oh my god is going to be shown on youtube is going to be all over
the news that may be we should check ourselves next
you need to remember the use of police officers they work for us
really work for the state we give them
give them the right to use the guns in a way that will give anybody the right to
use those guns
they have all this power and i'm not trying to use a cliche here but with
that power comes responsibility responsibilities sometimes your job job
is horrible
and people while you and if they can assert ripped off
yet for my one one which is probably the last day last week of the said
informatica reddaway specifically proclaims itself came from the use of
oxygen and they're quick live today and maybe in prison
for robert i don't know
you have to do it
and when you don't do it when you
you believe ever to become a copy that understanding for the guy in your car
you're responsible for
he asked for help eating didn't help you're responsible you're gonna go to
jail
as a
and we all have knowledge is a tough job and we all knowledge
the you're seeing
some of the exceptional cases here everyday cops do their jobs throughout
the country
hundreds of thousands of cops may perhaps even millions and and
people don't dot right ineffective help protect lives but in these cases
if you're straight out being to be the same mistake again and hear use of pot
question that there should be consequences
if you do was clearly suffering
and you should be should obtain seriously they didn't someone died
there's gotta be some counseling at the very least you gotta mean you know i
mean that you're aware that on the side they have that responsibility those guys
get charged and there's a trial and they get defended and they get to defend
themselves and maybe it was unreasonable to think
they should have asked for help or maybe they didn't hear
all stuff that would come out and final maybe they'd be equated you know that
that's
but the pictures
covered up and go up mulllika that we had no way of knowing whatever
it wasn't for the media they were going to cover that's right
