A North Carolina inmate who died in December repeatedly called out for help and said 'I can't breathe' more than 25 times as deputies restrained him, newly released body camera videos show.

Neville says he can't breathe 29 times during a roughly four-minute period shown in the video. Deputies eventually try to remove the handcuffs but the key breaks and they have to get a bolt cutter.

"This was an avoidable death," Grace said."It clearly was a medical crisis. If they'd called EMS, he'd be alive today." The district attorney's office announced in July that all five officers were each charged with involuntary manslaughter, along with the nurse, Michelle Heughins. A sixth officer was also fired by the department but has not been charged, the sheriff's office spokesperson said.

David Freedman, an attorney for Roussel, told NBC News in a phone interview Friday that he wants people to watch the video in its entirety before they cast judgment. The North Carolina Sheriff's Association said in a statement to NBC News, “Mr. Neville’s death was a tragic situation. I commend Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough of Forsyth County for the professional, transparent, compassionate and caring manner in which he has dealt with the situation and with Mr. Neville’s family.”

So you are trying to incite more riots without a full investigation? What political advantage does that give you again? People shouldnt be able to report on crimes until the courts have declared a crime has happened.

I speak from experience when I say that the fact this occurred in North Carolina is no suprise at all.

BREAKING: Morning Joe just dropped a DEVASTATING supercut of Trump's racism and idiocy after his HYPOCRITICAL attempt to paint Joe Biden as a racist. This is a MUST-WATCH!

Everybody yells “I can’t breathe” now when they’re arrested. It’s the new BLM slogan.

Corporate with authorities, people, and there would be no reason, to restrain a person. Bad things can go wrong, deputies now will be jailed.

This is horrible, how can these officers live with themselves

If he said it 25 times, than he had no trouble breathing

If you can say it, you can breathe. Try not resisting and shutting up.

KEEP STOKING THE FLAMES OF HATE, AND PROMOTING RACIAL VIOLENCE & STREET RIOTS. GOOD JOB MSNBC, SEDITIOUS COUP PARTICIPANTS. TOO LATE TO ACT WITH DECENCY OR PROFESSIONALISM NOW!

GOOD GUYS GONE BAD!😡🤬

Umm, ok. Why was he an inmate to begin with? Really no remorse for criminals to begin with. They chose that life.

Must find it so hard to keep a person living and breathing huh?

I always thought devils wore red.

.... Yea when people fall of their bunks on to cement things happen to your health...

Should have sent in a social worker.

Ok.. burn shit I guess!?

So now. A medical episode gets a person murdered.

And on it goes. Again, nationally, is America pro-life? So many examples of moments where mercy, compassion and just... help, could have saved a life. Add in the obsession with guns - built to kill - and one really has to wonder about the disconnect.

If not on camera, would be label as 'Virus' Death 😠

Here we go again? It must be something wrong in the training manual?

This is what happens when they don’t have compassion for another living BREATHING person. As human beings. As someone who MATTERS!

Whatever

Moni1on1 PUBLIC HORROR and unbridled exhibition of criminal savagery at the hands of STATE SPONSORED terrorists. These are lethal magistrates inducing a seditious form of asphyxiation reserved exclusively for Descendants of Slaves. This is unforgivable cruelty in America. RacistInChief

This has to stop!!!

Convenient, dontcha think

Fucking sick. These jail officers let their jobs go to their head. They need to sit the fuck down.

Disgusting. They are responsible for this man's death. How can they live with themselves? Imagine if this was happening to someone they loved! Incredible how they continue doing what they are doing when a person says they can't breathe. Why don't they stop!!!

When you say you can't breathe is when they never let go

How about this, when you hear someone say “I can’t breath” how about you stop restraining them and instead offer assistance.

It reminds me of the time the same thing happened except it was a white guy and you completely ignored it because it didn't fit into your agenda.

This is torture and HumanRightsViolations

simnico971 A other bunch of murderers in uniform.

I have used cell extraction unit as a good example of control. I guess we should find a way not to kill people to get them under control. Looks like a tranquilizer gun will be the only way to save lives and get people to a cell.

Crime never pays.

The war on cops is justified

This shit sad.

georgefloydbodycam comes out and you need to restoke the fire ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻 Enemyofthepeople

No story here except his skin color....report on ALL incidents....

You people honestly do suck.

This is why take a knee. This is why we protest. This is why we demand our elected officials to DefundThePolice.

I can't breath. BLM

Prison Brutality at it's best, when will it end?

do they not fucking LISTEN

Figured you'd give this another try ehh?

Calls for justice in Black suspect's death in North CarolinaDemonstrators hold vigil in North Carolina to demand justice for a Black man who died days after his arrest following the release of body camera videos that showed the man struggling with guards. Why was he struggling? Maybe that could be an issue? Stop being professional victims! What's all this killing about? ABC, how many DNC operatives work in your organization?
