'My dad was a good person. He was treated like trash': Daughter of LA DUI suspect who died after screaming 'I can't breathe' 11 times calls for DA Gascon to file criminal charges against the cops who pinned him face-down as seen in horrifying video
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Edward Bronstein, 38, died March 31, 2020 in Pasadena less than two months before George Floyd died in Minneapolis
    No riots and marches for him. But he was just a white man panicking because he was afraid of needles, not a black man dying after once again taking an overdose of illegal drugs.
  • Footage of his final moments was released by LA cops on Wednesday after his family sued to see the harrowing video

  • He was pulled over for suspicion of drunk driving and police were forcing him to give blood for a sobriety test

  • His family sued for excessive use of force and violation of his civil rights

  • Daughter Brianna Palomino said her father 'was treated like trash' and did not deserve to die the way he did

  • Video shows Bronstein being forced onto a mat in the police station's garage while handcuffed then five officer kneel on his back as they extract blood

  • He screams 'I can't breathe' 11 times before he eventually falls silent

  • The California Highway Patrol fought the release of the video tape, but a federal judge ordered them to do so

  • Criminal justice experts say the tape shows a callous disregard for human life

#1 I never understood this American obsession with standardization of procedures. I mean there's a hundred ways to arrest people. We usually shoot the resistant types in the calf. The muzz we shoot in the kneecap or groin. And you guys have those fancy whatchamacallits... those stupid star trek things... oh! Tasers, don't you?

#2 'Cause any American cop who doesn't follow standard procedures and is found out will, at best, spend the rest of hs natural life justifying his actions to bureaucrats and lawyers. Unless he has political protection, in which case pretty much anything goes.

#3  I never understood this American obsession with standardization of procedures.

Because we're not a 3rd world crap hole like India. Although, I do like the idea of shooting muzz.
