The Sheriff's Deputies were there to secure the scene and not directly involved in the incident. Other than CPR or basic first aid, I think getting the paramedics there was the best option.

they should be charged with failure to render aid at least

I support the police, but these five are INHUMAN! THEIR ACTIONS WOULD GIVE WILD DOGS A BAD NAME! My heart breaks for this poor man and his family.

He won't keep still while we beat him !

Mommas, teach yur babies to NOT resist arrest, then they'll be home for the nite !!

Wrong is wrong no matter the race. I am so disappointed. What the heck were they thinking 😔 What goes through people's minds, to think this is ok? This is what we hear gangs doing. Black cops is what we need, there’s no need to fire them and charge them all with murder. They made a mistake bruh but we need their diversity anyways so why not just keep ‘em 👍
