Video captures deadly confrontation between Plaquemine man, police; police department sued

The mother of two children whose father died during an intense confrontation with several Plaquemine police officers a year ago has filed a $6 million federal lawsuit against the city, police chief and the police department.
In the suit, Ariel Barker claims officers violated the civil and constitutional rights of David Anthony Ourso, Jr., the father of her children, during an encounter with the 38-year-old man on June 1, 2016.
The police came into contact with Ourso while responding to calls that a man was wandering door-to-door in a Plaquemine neighborhood, acting erratically and asking people for help.
Body cam footage Barker's attorneys provided to The Advocate Friday shows four officers arrived on the scene and wrestled Ourso to the ground as they attempted to handcuff him. He died shortly after they took him down.
"The video speaks for itself," said Shannon Battiste, one of two lawyers representing Baker.
The old "stop resisting"
Yeah, officers do need more training.
Officer stayed with his knees on his back a full minute after he was cuffed. YOu can even hear the other officer tel him to "get off his back". On film, they admitted he was not running and not fighting.

A grand jury investigated the circumstances of Ourso's death but did not find justification to charge the officers, court records show.

Yes, he obviously was. The police need better training too. They had him cuffed. The police will settle with the wife. Book it.

I'm just here to downvote.

The dude was freaked out on meth but I'm sure that had nothing to do with him dying. We all know the ONLY way people die is at the hands of cops, right?
"A grand jury investigated the circumstances of Ourso's death but did not find justification to charge the officers, court records show."
Take it to the Gravy show with this bullshite.

Unfortunately, but that's because we have a fricked up civil court system.

They better not! They should send a message that just because one of your family takes on behavior that ends up killing them that it will mean/lead to a pay day for you.

Please go & wrestle with a grown man tweaked out his mind & report back how it works out
Just because he was cuffed doesn't mean he wasn't head butting, biting or kicking
When fight or flight kicks in anything can happen, especially when you're on drugs
But you have all the answers, right??

Damn that was hard to watch because I went to school with him and knew his brother and sisters when I lived there.

Family member's deaths. Making millions for minorities since they were allowed to vote... Democrat.

Lol you didn't watch the video. Name doesn't even sound "minority" in the article, so you probably didn't read it.

Anti police people won't be happy until the police refuse to come out and touch an individual for fear he might get hurt. Of course then they will sue the police because that person did something while they were refusing to touch him.

Yeah. Ignore the autopsy report about him being high on meth and the meth causing his heart to explode in his chest while he struggles against the police officers.
You conveniently left that part out, Tangerine?

You failed to recommend exactly what they should have done differently and covered it with a blanket "more training" statement. I can't see where they caused his death.
It's hard to say that he was suffocated because he can be heard yelling right up to the point that he stopped resisting, which is the time that he died. His heart abruptly lost the ability to pump blood and his death had nothing to do with not being able to breath.
I hate that he died unnecessarily. It saddens me that two kids have to grow up without a father but you cannot fault the officers based on what is on this video.
