Attorneys for the family said the deputies and jail medical staff members who looked on as Christian Black sat slumped in a restraint chair should be criminally charged in his death.
“There was no sense of urgency,” said his father, Kenya Black. “You could clearly see he was unconscious.”
Black, 25, of Zanesville, died on March 26, two days after he was taken from the Montgomery County jail to a hospital in Dayton. He was in the jail after police said he crashed a stolen car.
The county coroner’s office said last week that Black likely died from positional asphyxia, which happens when the chest can’t expand, starving the body of oxygen. His death, which is still under investigation, was ruled a homicide by the coroner.
Worst part is I went “Oh yeah, I saw this story yesterday” and then realized that no, that was about a Texas jail, this is Ohio…
Ohio aspires to be the Texas of the north
It’s gotta fight Idaho first, though
Who will dominate—Lesser Idaho or Lesser Ohio?
Cops murder civilians all the time.
They claim they are “scared for their lives”
Maybe we should make sure they’re not lying.
I like this way of thinking. If they’re going to treat me as a violent threat, I might as well be one.
The hoops that the press will jump through to avoid saying the police killed a man or prison guards are accessories to murder is mind boggling.
“Man shot in police altercation during traffic stop sustained critical injuries and dies in the hospital”
Vs.
“Police killed a man during a traffic stop”
While it is easy to connect some dots and draw an opinion, without due process all are innocent until proven guilty. Free Speech is not free of conquences and what seems like a logical conclusion today is not a guarantee at the end of the trial. There is no oopsiedaisy exception in libel law.
Fair.
But when an officer discharges their weapon it’s in the police report, which is publicly available.
If no other weapons are involved and someone is shot then it’s a fact that they shot whoever was hit by a their bullet.
Whether they are guilty of homicide is a decision for the court. Whether they killed someone is a matter of fact.
It’s mostly a liability thing. Mostly.
