Video shows death of man, 27, in Tucson police custody; chief offers to resign

Officers administered chest compressions before emergency medical personnel declared him dead on scene.

"He was reportedly restrained in a prone position with a spit hood and became unresponsive. He died despite resuscitative efforts by emergency medical services providers," the report said. The officers, who have not been identified, resigned Friday, shortly before the department's internal investigation was completed, according toCity Council member Lane Santa Cruz said in a statement after watching the video,"I cannot unwatch and unknow that officers used their bodies, denial of water, denial of air and plastic blankets as a weapon against an unarmed, vulnerable young father in distress.

He said that although he was briefed the day after Ingram-Lopez's death, nobody in his administration viewed the video then. He called the failure to make the death public a misstep, but said it was not done with malicious intent. A visibly surprised Romero said during Wednesday's news conference that she wasn't aware Magnus had planned to offer his resignation. She said he has been “an honest and great” police chief.

Justice for Carlos Ingram Lopez

The dude was drunk. Probably on something. Why put him in handcuffs and then cover his entire body in plastic. Jesus fucking Christ. He obviously was freaking out just deescalate the damn situation.

10 cops dont report 100 bad cops, you've got 110 bad cops

Meanwhile someone is DEAD!

Get rid of the bad cops and hire good people looking for a job.

don't forget to cut his pension to ZERO

So he can get hired somewhere else.

Dude died from other health issues

Heartbreaking

It seems like lives don't matter anymore 😕

All lives matter. There is a pandemic and the virus does not choose the color of your skin. America has a multitude of problems but for now we need to put all our efforts to stop the spread of covid 19. That’s the priority just in case you don’t know it yet like the fool at WH!

what a cruel world 😭😭😭

If he has enough moral courage to resign over something another Cop did, then he has the moral compass to fix the problem. Don’t let him go...

So you have to scroll 3/4 of the way down the story to learn he died from cardiac rest associated with Cocaine and intoxication. Yes this was the police officers fault ... NOT

Hey don’t we see this I news

So of the police chief isnt the good cop............how can his followers be considered good!? Still looking for the good cop!?
