Jails don't do anything for mental health. Jails will give out medication only if you have a prescription, if youre lucky.

Why put yourself in that position in the 1st place

Gee, wonder who gave them this brainstrom of an idea?

Sounds like the guy was a dick. If someone was taunting me on the street you’d probably get a lot worse than a chokehold.

NO CRIME NO CHOKE

They sound like they just want money.

LET THIS BLACK MAN TEACH YOU SOMETHING IF YOU DARE HAVE THE INTELLIGENCE TO LISTEN! HE SPEAKS VERY SLOWLY AND CONCISELY SO THAT ANYONE CAN UNDERSTAND PLEASE RETWEET

He was acting like the saddest Bigger you ever seen. F!ck em. Got what he deserved

It’s over.

Victim? Clearly the police are there for a reason and even tried to avoid contact w/ the antagonist until they were assaulted. LawAndOrder BackTheBlue

An example of the inhumanity exhibited by most cops in this Country.

Wasn't that an issue before whatever he did to be put in a chokehold

Now you started caring about criminals mental health. Shame

Looking at the picture. I see three brutes all weighing more then 3/4 of a ton using a death hold to bring him down. America We Have A Problem....Aggressive Police.

If bad guys would do what’s told stop running acting like clown po po would not need to put them down.

Lmao 😂

It’s a shame they didn’t see this before the incident. I think if anyone was around this individual they would see he and his friends were not right in the head.

I wonder what would happen if nearly half a million women took a mental health day because the criminal justice system failed them too. And I’m willing to bet none of them threw a bottle a provoked their attacks.

Bellevue may need Bellevue(?

Just another reason for BLM to burn down this country on innocent civilians.BLM is a criminal organization same as the klan both made up by the democratic party.

seriously?

Should have Thought of that Earlier and Taught Him to NOT Resist Arrest!

There are problems - yes, but no one sits down to think what their solution might be, to offer something to discuss and look for a compromise, to create something, not to collapse

that is no excuse, you still have to get them under control.... mental illness or not

In general, humanity is not responding adequately, look at all these demonstrations

Happens every ay in South Africa. You would not know about it, because US Ambassador LanaMarks Wont tell on her friend CyrilRamaphosa

Chokehold + mental health = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Once people start targeting these 🐖 s family and children they will think twice🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

You should added this to your headline- When Bellevue allegedly picked up a can from the trash to throw at officers - four of the officers grabbed him.

Yeah no sh*t... looking for a pay day

If you’ve never worn a badge, you can’t know the stress of confronting the worst of our species, of all colors, on a daily basis. We tie the hands of law enforcement but expect them to keep this vermin from our doorstep. I got out but I thank God every day for those who serve!

Did you watch the whole body cam video? The man has obvious mental problems. This had nothing to do with his arrest. Cops did nothing wrong.

Wow

No respect he will change his mind when you shut off his air way.

Pretty sure he spit on them, and I heard he had temper problems, but when are these cops gonna figure out that move is a no go? There was like 6 of them and the guy goes like 125?

police are killing people!!

Maybe his wonderful family should have kept him at home and taught him not to be a law breaking asshole?

Who cares , don’t get arrested.

Don’t commit a crime

Bwaaa HAAA HAAA HAA He be ok.

He's his parents.

Maybe his feelings are hurt😩😩
