Kid must have a death note
Engaging in a physical altercation with a police officer makes you responsible for any adverse outcome. Mitigating is the poor health of the police officer but does not completely exculpate you. 😄😄😄 Bad luck, kiddo!
Well kid is illegal him and his family need deported! That should be only punishment!
Welcome to America my friend
Law and crime. Should be lie and gaslight.
Horrible reporting
Prayers for family and friends at this heartbreaking time. Thank you for your service and dedication. RIP Sir. 😢
Cops have absolutely no accountability!
Who came from tik tok
This lawyer sound just as corrupt of the police and judge
Sorry, my bad. I used my DEATHNOTE… I mean whats a DEATHNOTE… huh.. he…he…
Where is footage of the heart attack
Nah that's wild
Apparently, this sergeant thought brown people walking from him is illegal.
Where was the violence? Resisting with violence! The police were violent.
Are you serious? That's ridiculous. If he died of a heart attack after this incident, he was going to have a heart attack anyway. Drop the charges.
BS
Im sorry he was a cop arent they supposed to be in a fit state of health? How is this the boys' problem? I really hope someone is doing their best to get this boy off of this charge.
This cop was a sickly dude! Resisting arrest! Give him ten months probation.
Divine justice.
Disgusting cop. Disgusting DA
he made the cop get all sweaty from tazing him 6 times. this kid must have also made him smoke all of those cigarettes too.
LOL
How did his illegal immigrant from Guatemala who only speaks an uncommon indigenous language get into the country in the first place? That’s the real question.
