On March 14, Scott was arrested in Allen, nearly 15 miles from where he lived in Frisco, on a marijuana charge. Authorities said he had less than two ounces — a misdemeanor. The 26-year-old, who received a schizophrenia diagnosis two years ago, sometimes used the drug to self-medicate, according to the family’s lawyer, S. Lee Merritt.
quote:
After Allen officers transported him to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital for what police called “strange behavior,” he was taken to the county jail. There, officers restrained Scott, used pepper spray and covered his head with a spit hood, a controversial device meant to keep a person from biting or spitting on an officer. Scott became unresponsive late that night and was pronounced dead at a hospital.
quote:
Though seven of the sheriff’s officers have been fired after initially being put on administrative leave and another resigned while under investigation, the family and protesters say they don’t plan to stop until the officers have been charged with a crime. The officers' names have not been publicly released. The Collin County Sheriff’s Office, which operates the jail, said personnel information cannot be released due to pending civil service appeals.

you can probably stop listening to any other argument made after this.
ETA: not boot licking the cops here at all. jail for a couple of ounces of marijuana is stupid. but Merritt's just like Ben Crump. shows up for the lawsuit, makes a ton of money off the city and family and then heads out of town.

The family hired a forensic pathologist to conduct a second, independent autopsy. During the March 23 press conference, the pathologist, Amy Gruszecki of American Forensics, said: “The physical struggle of the restraint as well as the possible asphyxia from the restraint would likely be causes of his death, and a negative autopsy, meaning no injuries, no blunt force trauma, is consistent with that.”

That's speculation from a guy hoping for a payday

dude didn’t have anything else on him but weed. why jump straight to “oh he must have had *insert hard drug* in his system and a history of heart problems”?
oh wait i know why, cause you enjoy the taste of boots in your mouth

Perhaps he should have been taking different meds.

So they found nothing, and assumed it was caused by trauma.
Brilliant.

It’s Texas law enforcement.
They practice Medievalism in that state.
