The death of Christopher Robert Hensley in the custody of Fletcher, North Carolina, police is raising new questions about the use of deadly restraint by law enforcement. In this episode of Police Accountability Report, Taya Graham and Stephen Janis talk to independent pathologist Cyril Wecht, who reviewed footage of the arrest, to shed light on the circumstances surrounding Hensley’s death. We ask questions of North Carolina law enforcement officials to learn why cops are still using a tactic that has been widely recognized as both dangerous and deadly.

  1. The cop vaping while he watches a guy be smothered? Then they seem to be trying to hide what's going on by moving around him! Where is this guys wife? How many wives will stop calling?

  2. This dangerous and deadly restraint performed on Christopher Hensley is a police tactic that was also used in my own police encounter in CA. So I feel fortunate to have survived a near-death of compressional asphyxiation while lying in the prone restraint suffocating and screaming, "I can't breathe" from the heavy weight of an officer straddled on my back. It is heartbreaking to see that police officers continue to use the prone restraint tactic with fatal consequences. My sincere condolences to the Hensley family for the loss of your loved one.

  3. For these chuckleheads "fighting to take a breath" = "resisting" and their solution for that is "apply more downward pressure". It's a horrific situation to be in since there is literally nothing you can do as your life is being squeezed out of you. Anyone who wants to help is kept away, the cops who could help just stand around and watch.

  4. Illinois’ cash bail “reform” makes getting out of jail actually harder and you must reveal evidence against you, MOT AT TRIAL but at your BOND HEARING the court MUST consider the weight of the evidence, your chances of being convicted, all misdemeanors and ORDINANCE violations in order to “determine” you bail conditions. If you do NOT comply and give the court all of this evidence against you and your entire non-criminal, mental health and criminal history including suicidal thoughts EVER, you SHALL be determined uncooperative for using your 5th Amendment, and determined to be a flight risk.

    It also, make NO-KNOCK WARRANTS perfectly legal and acceptable under statute.

  5. Look at the size of these big fat greedy pigs ! They seem so cool & calculated , working as a pack of murderers & loving every minute of it . Disgusting .

  6. This is what I'm seeing in the news reporting about this incident. "After Hensley was handcuffed and taken into custody, he became unresponsive. Officers began CPR and requested Emergency Medical Services, and Hensley was transported to the hospital where he died."
    Handcuffed and taken into custody? More like handcuffed and taken out of this world.

  7. The Police Union needs to pay and retrain. This is horrible! I hope all those cops get charged with manslaughter and fired!

  8. prone position is dangerous on its own. For babies its called SIDS. for an adult in a prone position with one or multiple bodies applying force onto their back death may be imminent.

  9. This was my good friend and an amazing man! I have been very angry that this has not seen and news about this until I have watched this so thank you for posting this!

  10. I'm tired of seeing innocent people murdered and abused and constitutional rights being ignored the public needs to begin together and to rise up and hold these police and judges and politicians accountable and if we are unable to find Justice through the legal process I say we find it by any means necessary the good people of this country cannot allow this to continue we need to band together now and start going out repercussions till things change band together people

  11. Justice for Christopher Hensley killed by six assassin's from the Fletcher Police Dept. If not stopped they will kill again and again

  12. The reason this isn't getting any attention is because it was white on white and nobody in his family is raising hell!!! Once he was cuffed there was no reason to continue the pressure on him! Those officers killed that man just like they killed George Floyd!!!! Call the FBI and get the State Bureau of Investigation….if these guys are not charged, this will turn into a major racial issue!

  15. Murderous monsters in uniform. No one shall be forgotten who died in the hands of law enforcement. Those pigs (yes, PIGS!!) should all be forced to resign immediately and possibly jailed. As much as I'd like to abolish the prison system, let's just clean it out and make room for these sociopathic goons. If they weren't cops, they'd all be charged with murder. They knew what they were doing. My heart goes out to that man's family. R.I.P.

  16. The reason no one cares is because they weren't told to care this time. The oligarch is saving it for when abortion and transexuals wear off

  17. This police restraint tactic should be outlawed. Until it is, cops should be told that it will be presumptively considered improper and abusive.

  18. Not one of the cops watching made any effort – ANY – to intervene or even try to stop this murder. They should be prosecuted for murder just like the rest of the dog pile.

  19. Perhaps one reason that people are not talking about it is because it conflicts with the media narrative of police murder of black men.

  20. Why was the man arrested treated so in humanely what was his fault? America, land of the free? Free to murder probably.

  21. We see seven big burly policemen handling a man who is already lying helplessly on the ground probably gasping for breath. Whatever be his crime or misbeviour why treat him like he was some wild animal. Or unless he has attacked a couple of policemen. Why so many policemen for one man? They seem to enjoy pinning him to the ground and suffocate him to death. This was the worst sadistic form of murder directly or indirectly. The police should be suspended charged, tried and eventually dismissed from service.

  22. I call it “ smushing to death “ . Or legalize murder. They always say “ if you can talk then you can breathe “ , right before they die. See, they kill white people too. The fix will be in when the coroner will say “ there were drugs in his system “. Blaming drugs for the death. Same thing plays out over and over again.

  23. Vast majority of white Americans will never complain or denounce anything that police do. Law enforcement plays a major role in the structure of white supremacy. An occasional death of a white person at the hands of abusive police is acceptable to majority of white Americans as long as police continue to harass and mistreat Black and Brown people. Majority of whites see this tragic situation as collateral damage in the was against Black and Brown people

  24. COPS in America smash peoples houses and kill them, many times only to realize it's the wrong person. So much about dangerous restraint ….. Get lost !
    Everyone has already talked about it

  25. Thank you PAR for being the disinfecting sunlight in a world of darkness. In addition to reaching out to the police for comment you should also try to contact BLM the organization for comment. As the most noticable organization stating to work to hold police accountable I would be interested to know their comments and plans. I for one want to see the police held accountable for their actions regardless of the victim.

  26. Disgusting , that's police abuse .
    As for Georges Floyd , I really hope that those Shi**y policemen will end up in jail for a life sentence

  27. This is terrible, when will this terrorist behavior stop. These thugs in blue are basically getting away with murder with no accountability.
