Another person has died while in police custody. Joseph Sheldon Hutcheson died after a knee was placed on his throat.
According to The Daily Mail, Hutcheson came into the lobby of Dallas County jail saying that his wife was trying to kill him. Police claim he was crazy and took him as a threat. They immediately placed him in handcuffs. Witnesses say cops placed their knee in the back of his throat as Hutcheson called out that he couldn’t breathe. They also said his face turned blue.
Hutcheson became unresponsive and CPR was performed. He was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
I don’t understand how many times a person can say ‘I can’t breathe’ to a cop before they will actually listen to them. A man lost his life for no reason. It wasn’t like he charged at a cop or had any weapons on him. When will lives matter to these cops?
