#Virginia #IrvoOtieno #GrandJury
No cameras, no justice…. it doesnt taint a potential jury to see the facts. It makes the actions by the defendents indefensible… nobody’s problem but the guilty.
Sooner or later, people are going to have to come to terms with their feelings about surveillance everywhere. This isn’t a Have Your Cake & Eat It Too scenario.
Either you’re going to have to accept omnipresent cameras for accountability of cops _and everyone_ or you’re going to be against it because privacy to you = never getting caught in a no-no. Choose.
Played stupid games won stupid prizes. Irvo was acting a fool
@Blanche Warren I did not see him being violent. I saw, by weight, over 2,000 lbs of people piling up on him while was shacked. Arms and legs BOTH shackled.
Perhaps you can clear that up for us? At what point (during the video) did he deserve to be literally suffocated to death while prone on the floor shackled?
We will wait for your response.
If clear video of your actions “taints the jury pool”…you’re guilty.
It’s just another of millions of examples in our history of how many in positions of power and authority dehumanize those the see below them
Every time something like that happens, my comment is : – Somewhere in USA right now, a black man doesn’t know yet he has ONLY hours to live…
And i’m ALWAYS right! Brave USA that third world sub country dump… WE HAVE NEVER SAW that and NEVER will here in PURE CANADA…
There must be a better way.
A dam shame self genocide
No pensions, No options to retire, no severance pay, no immunity, all be sued and go to prison!!!
Enough with the abuse, especially from cops
Black cops killing black people. Tragic.
Why are you bringing race into this? Nobody else is, except for YOU.
There is NO JUSTICE SYSTEM in this country, what is the point, all those put in place to serve and protect, abuse and destroy and take life. 😠😔
I’m so tired of these stories these rogue unhinged cops should be held accountable and stop getting away with murder… RIP sir … tired of posting that message smh
Good job cop’s
When will the police stop killing black people. God sits high, but look down low. Is mental health a prescription for death.
Police…
Cowards
hello NBC
Private militia, a gang. This is domestic terrorism. Who believes these cops didn’t know they were doing wrong, in their court circuit it’s finally settled law. Courts expect us to believe the taking of a life, is not a taking. Gang behavior not peace officers. voters, who is in charge there?
This tragic happens only if you are lack of certain privileges. They played court right on the seen and executed him. Such beautiful human had to be put down ti death but god and only god will grant him justice. RIP my fellow human.
JUST HIGHLIGHTS WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS COMPLY WITH POLICE
How do you comply with that?
Comply? Looks to me like he was complying to the point of being proned out on a floor, arms and legs BOTH shackled, while being suffocated to death by 2,000lbs of weight (average weight x number of people on top).
So, I don’t think there was a point where he could have complied, unless the cop’s idea of compliance was DEATH. Also, by very definition he was having a mental health issue so how did you expect him to comply during that anyway?
Too many people putting weight on him. Why can’t they think as such?
About 10 people all putting their body on such a small person.
We need better policing in America.
Who put, the Cat 🐈⬛ in the Bag ? 🐈
Nah….. hospital could have jabbed him with some meds…. those healthcare providers should be ashamed of themselves. Unfortunately we have come to expect this from the police.
Holy smokes! Yes. Why didn’t they sedate him? This is unreal.
Only black cops are easily sent to jail
Go strike
All pigs are criminals and murderers
10 piled on him???? It’s because there were no more cops on the scene. Would have been more. He was lucky they were only 10… His unlucky part was to live in USA that third world sub country dump…
so the prisoner has no responsibility at all for his actions??? Don’t worry people U will all find out exactly how guys like that prisoner really are when you have no police willing to take the job and defend all you police haters. Comply and none of these incidents would happen.
Are you insane?
It is not hating on police to see and approve of the bad ones getting prosecuted for crimes. The bad ones make the good ones look bad and destroy the public trust.
How can we respect the law unless the enforcers of the law are quickly self-earning the disrespect?
The Chief said “They did their job and even went above and beyond.”
Just goes to show you can’t trust pigs.
Charge everyone in the video.
They failed to stop a homicide that occured in front of their eyes.
Lmfao what do they expect to happen with 8 men on you
50% inmates fault 50% staff police fault
You should take a nap
@Xavier Williams i will do better then that im going to sleep . So there in your face . No vaseline slipped right in and got you ….yesss………
The tyranny is NOT going to stop until they abolish qualified immunity….& NOT get paid vacations while they investigate themselves & find NO wrongdoing then get promoted….it’s appalling!
A MAJOR overhaul in many organizations of new & retraining when it comes to getting people under control.10 people jammed on top is not getting him properly restrained. This was at a mental facility.
Lack of training and overweight people with low IQs are a deadly combination.
Such a tragedy! I see professionals trying to do their (difficult) jobs, assisting a likely psychotic patient, very strong and things go sideways tragically. I see perhaps mistakes (not starting CPR immediately), but no malice, no ill will. Nothing meriting 2nd degree MURDER charges. Vigilante Prosecuting attorney in my opinion. Lori
You don’t see anything wrong? Perhaps you should watch the video again.
I did not see him being violent. I saw, by weight, over 2,000 lbs of people piling up on him while was shacked. Arms and legs BOTH shackled.

Agree
yeah, these guy’s didn’t help, they just killed. Video doesnt say otherwise.
I never find it a great thing for anyone going to prison each one standing and looking all that was there I pray each day you live in prison think on how horrible you treated that man!
BLACK ON BLACK CRIME ????
***********************************************
This is what happens with alot of black people who earn a living working for white people or for a system designed by white people- they tend to behave just like them!
FIND YOUR SOUL BEFORE YOU FIND YOUR POSITION!!!🖤🖤🖤
Why so many people?😊
They do this even at CRC Tucson… UMC South. I am so disappointed I’m the health care system those who are supposed to be helped with mental health gets hurt. Pathetic I pray for a nation wide shake up of mental health services.
Thank you Lord Jesus for the gift of life and blessings to me and my family $14,120.47 weekly profit our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!!🙏❤️❤️
Good information thanks☺️
Wow I’m just shock someone mentioned expert Mrs Sophia trading services I thought I’m the only one trading with her.

Investing and trading now will be the wisest thing to do especially with the current economic fluctuation and inflations.
Mrs Sophia services has brought me out of the wrenches and to a better living through trading options, I encourage newbies to trade with her
How did the situation get to this point? Why did it require that many staff members to handle one patient?
Everyone wants money now and days, they don’t want “Justice.” The fact of the matter is dude assaulted people while there and force was use on someone weighing 200 + pound, whose fighting back. Those workers did what was right. Sedation was probably something they WERE going to use, once he was under control and not swinging. Commentators don’t know how these patients are and assume everyone’s a victim when a cop or nurse is involve. Stop being hypocrites and use your brain! 💯
