A newly released video that captures the final moments of an active-duty soldier serving a two-day sentence for DWI shows the decorated veteran bleeding and begging for help as he struggles to breathe.
U.S. Army Sgt. James Brown, who was stationed at Fort Bliss, in El Paso, Texas, voluntarily checked in to the El Paso County Detention Center on a Friday in July 2012 to serve a two-day sentence, and was dead by Sunday. Three years later, KFOX-14 has obtained graphic video that shows Brown’s final moments, before he died of what a coroner said was a sickle cell “crisis.â€
“When a 26-year-old man checks in to jail for a court-imposed sentence on a Friday, and he leaves Sunday in a casket, something went horribly wrong there," said B.J. Crow, an attorney for Brown’s family. The family is suing the county in federal civil court, claiming Brown’s civil rights were violated and that he was a victim of excessive force and a lack of proper medical attention.
Brown, who served two tours of combat duty in Iraq, showed up at the jail to serve the sentence and told officials he had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Brown's mother said when her son checked in at the jail, he contacted her, according to KFOX-14.
"He said they're trying to make me stay seven days instead of two days, so i just want to pay the court fine and get out of here," Dinette Robinson-Scott told the station.
Although Robinson-Scott sent money to cover the fine and spare her son the extra jail time, by Sunday morning, something had gone wrong.
The newly released surveillance video shows that Brown was in distress, complaining that he could not breathe and bleeding in his cell. Moments later, a team of guards in riot gear went into his cell.
The family’s lawyer said at no time was an ambulance or 911 called for help. Brown was taken to University Medical Center, where he was officially pronounced dead.

I don't seem to recall any riots or DoJ investigations into human rights violations over this incident.
Guess only certain black lives matter.

This is such a tragedy. He was in jail for a DWI. Is this any way to treat an army combat vet who did 2 tours of duty in Iraq....ya'll are right, there was no outrage. No Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. No marches. Totally ignored by Eric Holder. No Obama if I had a son.
Brown's mother, Dinetta Scott:
“He was just a phenomenal, unique person. When God made him he broke that mold and said there cannot be another like this one; he was one of a kind."
“I just believe they killed my son. I don’t know how, I don’t know why, but they killed my son.â€

Just shows the hypocritical mentality of the left. If you're a criminal and engage in criminal activity and get killed either during the act or shortly after you're arrested you're celebrated and people come form all over to burn the city down in your name.
Normally law abiding citizen who was trying to pay up for his mistake dies in police custody.
Full throated crickets.
Guarentee you if this kid hadn't been in the military....they'd have been rioting in El Paso too.

Very true. Sad that the race baiters aren't making more of a fuss over someone who deserves it. They really need to analyze who they emulate.

That image is so descriptive.
I may have to "borrow" that - liberally.

Exactly. Some Blacks are more equal than others. This case is not in the national news and there is a video of it happening.
One would think Black Lives Matter applies to James Brown, Liquori Tate, or Hiawayi Robinson. But no, they don't. :mental:
The left really loves criminals as they identify with them. :mental: :argh:
