so you're telling me that not a single officer lost their jobs?? this is who they want representing their academy? ''to server and protect'' right…? yea ok.
What crazy is everyone in this comment is bound by rules. When we feel we are inside the rules we act with complete authority and confidence. It’s so easy to remove yourself from the players in this game but the truth is we are all capable of something like this
I've never seen anything like this disgusting
It was the cigarette that triggered the stroke
Her family filed a lawsuit against everyone involved (including the hospital).
Total lack of compassion by all involved.
This is so horrific to watch, just imagine if that was your Mom
I will never forget this poor woman may she rest in peace. I’m so sad knowing officers treated her so poorly and had no compassion or empathy, she deserved better and I’m hoping one day we’ll see her again, nobody deserves to die like this. I’m sure she was scared and embarrassed, nobody believed her just treated her by how she looked. I see someone who is helpless and needed someone to listen to her rather than assuming she will be okay. I love you Lisa
please be kind to one another
That's negligent homicide!!
… and protect me from the cops and the doctors
They said she had been kicked out of two hospital. Sounds like malingering to me. Not saying the arguing did not cause the event in the video. She may have had under lying health issues that did not show when she was in the ER
They all should be in jail, period. I'm not a doctor but stroke or not it certainly didn't help her that they didn't put her to the hospital.
Is disappointed and sad for seeing this.
yes, this is tragic, but i believe she didn't have long to live no matter where she would be
They must be so proud!!
There are two tragedies here. The first is how this lady was treated by those we trust to help and protect us. Or at least that's what they claim and say to the public. I just can't imagine being degraded and basically taunted by several "people" just before you die. The second tragedy id nothing happening to those cops. They get to go on with their lives, even though they didn't care or value this ladies life. I truly believe in karma, and whether it's in this life or what awaits us after, karma will find them.
This is really messed up.
RIGHT SO HOW DO WE STOP THE POLICE FROM DOING THIS THEY CAUSE A DEATH FROM MISTREATMENT AND STILL HAVE A JOB SMH
If she was medically cleared. How would the police know she was dying?
It makes me cry that the last moments of this lady's life were like this. She must have been so afraid.
16:20 the moment he realized they murdered a women
Imagine being her son and watching this video. What would you do if this was your mother?
Typical American systemic psychopathy. Police and doctors alike in the states masturbate to this depravity.
Your court system police sucks
You should helped her if she had friends or family disrespectful the hospital police officers need to be accountable for the abuse unkindness
Officer DEI tells her he wants to help her doesn’t want to go to jail and then murders are yeah diversity is their greatest strength not?
I was a little furious when I got to the end of the video and it was said all 4 officers got PAID administrative leave… like so they got a vacation?
I looked it up further and I’m glad that wasn’t actually the case. The first officer had been promoted to sergeant recently and was demoted back to officer & was also suspended without pay for a period. A couple of the other officers were also suspended without pay, like the one transporting her- he got 10 days unpaid leave.. The police department as well as specific officers involved took accountability and owned their awful treatment of her.
This is why people are scared of police now and think they are going to be killed by police because they keep killing innocent people's and the hospital should be investigated as well this women wasn't well and they just threw her out like a piece of trash
Would have been better for an ambulance to take her home if she has no family. These police should never have been called let alone trying to force her into a police van. So painful to watch her suffer like this. Nobody deserves this treatment. Poor lady.
OMG THE WAY THE ELDERLY ARE TREATED
EVEN BY HOSPITALS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. HE COULD HAVE GIVEN HER A DAMN RIDE SOMEWHERE!!!!
