In the words of our dearly departed master teacher Dr. Delbert Blair El, pbuh, there is hue-man, and there is mankind-a kind of man. Prayers to the family, and all victims and families of police brutality and murder.
My adult daughter has had many hospital stays for her schizophrenia, and her brother, for bipolar disorder and PTSD. The staffs all have had to restrain patients, and yet somehow they do it without, batons, pepper spray, tasers, or guns. They have the training to deal with agitated and combative patients - but this gentleman was not either. There was absolutely no reason for the cops to literally jump into the situation. And once again, another person dealing with mental illness is treated as if they committed a crime. As a result, another death. It tears at my heart every time, I fear for the lives of my adult children.
It's not just the cops doing this savagery. Society at large also takes part in colliding and punishing the mentally ill. Ven the mental health system is involved. Sometimes mental health system is worse and neglectfully.
I am sorry for your loss! And I hope that your brother is in a better place now, than in this wicked & EVIL world that we live in today. And I am so sorry for your loss! Again. 🙏🏽♥️

So heartbreaking, I can't imagine the horror he felt during his last minutes of life on this earth and for his mother family and friends to witness this horrible death on video it's simply heartbreaking.

The hospital staff should be charged as well, they are not fit for purpose. They have sedation medication, and should have the knowledge, they received. They should all be fired, sued, charged arrested, convicted, and put into prison forevermore. That's horrible. 💧
If he was just brought in to the hospital, it is possible that he hadn't been admitted,in other words the Security or hospital Guards ,they are not actually cops. He was still in their custody although within 5 minutes nurses and doctors should have been there to medicate appropriately.

"I'd like to see a deep dive into the training the officers and staff receive. Someone is telling these officers how to deal with human beings." Exactly!!!!!!
caro h. Why do you think SOMEONE ELSE has TOLD these cops to treat black and mentally ill people this way? Why do you think it's a TRAINING ISSUE? Because you'd like cops not to REALLY be like this. But they are like this. Stop sidestepping the issue.
You can't train cruel and evil out of a person. But the law can prevent many not all but many situations. They held him down for a very long time. And not one person raised concerned. The staff and the police.
Have you ever been so sad, so frustrated, so scared, so confused, that you don't know what to do? That it's as if you're on autopilot? Imagine the feeling of seeing a car speed toward you, the exact second before it hits you, even after you've moved. That terror. The horror, the silent plea to your god to protect you, answered by a hulking metal machine plowing through you? That's the fear of being taken by almost a dozen people and wrestled to the ground, but it lasts so much longer. You struggle because you want to breathe and to get away and your already injured mind tells you to act in the only way you can, to struggle against what holds you down. You can imagine it if you allow yourself. You can feel your heart begin to pound if you allow yourself. Now step back into the now and think... What if that were your son? Your friend? Your family? What if it were you? Would you want to live in a system that allows for that overbearing cruelty? Would you really? This system isn't broken, and it doesn't need "fixing". This system is working exactly as intended, and needs to be dismantled. No gods no masters.
If only you were wrong. Truth be told you have described it accurately. It's all berry sysmaticly. I wasn't killed but in several comas. The open display of agrssion is all of to fortified. The system backs up the concept that cops can do no wrong.
U spoke, wrote; what has been on my mind since , TrAyvon, Michael and George, and Laquan, how can none of us see fear, see life trying its best to live outside of the worst feeling fear, and shock.
That is crazy. Okay lights can be replaced. They all are sick. I hope all them can’t sleep at night. That person that lived next door could have contacted the mom or any family. I wouldn’t automatically call cops. And plus all that force is not needed. No person should have that much force on them. Sorry for the loss. Yes Ben they do need to be treated differently not like a criminal.
@diogenes. Open your eyes. If you consciously refuse to accept what is shown and attested to in this report you are down a rabbit hole. I suggest you try to get out of it for your own sake nd other that have to read your willful ignorance 😮
Have you ever had an anxiety or panic attack? Now imagine police and medical personnel holding you down on your stomach and not allowing you to move at all. I can't imagine the cruelty. That is a TOTAL LACK of EMPATHY. If you have to be trained to feel empathy, you are a PSYCHOPATH, probably true of a number of people in the police force today. You can't imagine the suffering of a human you are killing? You are a MONSTER. I hope there is some justice. That poor family.
Well said because that's exactly what we are dealing with. Real Gotdamn evil personified. I hope that them or their loved ones suffer a cruel fate as well
Mental illness is a disability in my country and people who experience mental health problems are given more care, compassion, understanding and patience so they can begin to recover. We have access to lawyers in psychiatric wards, we have a group of people to care for each other in the mental health community, there are job resources specially for people with disabilities. My family does not have to pay out of pocket for my mental healthcare. We are able to find housing support and we have monetary entitlements given by our government for food and housing. In my country a lot of people have these things but not all so we want the situation here to get better. What I saw in the video is shocking and to hear it is commonplace and has been going on is completely disturbing and wrong. Everyone in that room should be charged. It seems people in the U.S. are losing empathy for each other. Stop your government from giving 70% of your taxes to the military. A small chunk could give so many of your people who suffer more freedom to live independently and become good people.
People in the US can vote, but for many reasons the votes don't count or we can't vote on the things that count. We don't have a true democracy especially because we allow legalized bribery - unlimited campaign contributions from corporations to basically buy a politician's win in elections in exchange for the favors done for the donors.
Yes. They are. You got that right. I myself was put in handcuffs, thrown in a police car and taken to a mental institution where I was subjected to tremendous physical, mental, emotional, verbal, sexual and psychological abuse. I was thrown on a mattress and stripped down to nothing but my underwear and given multiple injections that put me out for 24 hours. This was done to me twice in an institution and a hospital. I was even strapped to a gurney and taken to a mental institution against my will. All the police and doctors worked aggressively against me to have me labeled as someone with psychosis and schizophrenia which I don't have. My crime: standing on a sidewalk. The United States of Amerikkka is not in a position to preach democracy, freedom and human rights to other countries. It is the most dangerous entity to what it preaches on the face of this planet. The good thing is their time is almost up and they don't even know it.
These situations/murders are disturbing and happens way too often in this country! Wtf...so much evil. 😔 I send my condolences to Irvo's family and friends 🙏
My mom, God rest her soul, always told us that "Mental Health" is the only disease that people have no sympathy for you and this has to change. Somebody should have stood up and prevented it and because they didn't those individuals should be charged and go to jail.
💔💔My heart breaks for this poor man. He needed help. No one stood up for this man and said that's enough. Mercy Lord. They all need to pay. This is awful for his family to have to see. My prayers is for justice for Irvo. Show the family that people do care about what happens to those who violates trust and welfare of those in custody. The Bible says and eye for an eye.
This was 1st degree murder. This was intentional and everyone there knew the likely outcome and result would be certain death and being they did this for over 10 min. until dead and not before he died did they stop
Ben Crump has to deal with these violent cases. It must be incredibly emotionally draining. He’s just been representing Tyre Nicholls family now he’s facing this. Thank God for him but I hope he has help with his well being.
I don’t understand how Same culture ppl can treat your own like that after all we’ve been and still going through..Lord help up today…. Young man didn’t have a chance…..my condolence to the family…..
Thank you Amy Goodman, for including your person thoughts - i think, when you said how disturbing it is to see mothers and wives/partners step forward to describe the lost family member. Thank you.
A few months ago a friend of mine was going through a health/mental crisis and asked me to take him to the emergency room. He was panicking extremely because of the fear of what he was going through so the hospital called the police. Instead of helping the doctors restrain him so they could treat him, they treated him like a criminal and tazed him 26 times putting him in a coma for 3 days. If that wasn't bad enough when he was released from the hospital, the police were waiting on him to take him straight to jail. When I picked him up from jail he needed to go back to the hospital and he found out he had a heart attack. Right now he's fighting the false charges against him. I told him he needs to get in touch with Ben Crump asap because he could've easily been dead right now

All I ever think of at times like this is about my dad, who had a manic episode and did a lot of strange things, including criminal actions that he was acquitted of due to his diagnosis. I just wonder... What would have happened if he weren't white. No gods no masters.
That’s sad asf that let’s you know how common it is man one of my friends died in jail kinda recently too, good kid never been in trouble had gotten drunk on his 21st birthday, got into a fight with his dad and they took him to county. They beat my friend until he was brain dead then left him on life support for like a month, parents were not notified until they showed up to his court hearing, I would say a month or two later. Dauphin county prison in Pa I believe it was 2018.. a lot of people in our neighborhood have rougher pasts, and criminal history. He did not. By the time I turned 21 I was already convicted omw to state prison to explain the difference. And just putting that out there so people don’t comment and criminalize my friend. My condolences to this woman and her family. Wish we could get some justice for my friend, but this is a corrupt place and coroner ruled it natural.
Rember the panic we all experienced as children playing a little to rough and not being able to breath just for a few seconds. This is how he died for 12 minutes. This is how he died, by a horrific torture. He was still alive and aware for the entire time he was being murdered. Dying in a state of panic and fear. The worst fear. Death
I can't believe that hospital staff were foolish enough to actually hurt this man Following to actions of law enforcement officers To basically smothering this young, mentally ill man to death.
Why in the name of God wasn't this guy treated with compassion and care and helping him,7 cop's and 3 worker's on top of him 10 thugs torturing him to death by suffocating him,were are those cop's and worker's compassion for mental health issues,they really have evil attitudes no compassion what's so ever I do hope they are charged with 1st degree murder because that's what it was,I hope this guy and his family get true justice .!! My sincere condolences to this guy and his family. ❤❤. What they did is unforgivable not even God could forgive them.!!

Some Americans need to be compassionate, that's what they need because all kinds of legislation will not change anything if they do have love in their hearts.
That poor man, just unimaginable that a mental health facility couldn’t manage his crisis without fatal consequences!! I don’t understand at all. An RN for many years, I KNOW there are medications that would’ve calmed his acute crisis.
This seems also to come down to a basic question of legal "custody" in the first, and strictest, sense. Regardless of what the civil authorities (deputies) might have experienced in their previous dealings with Mr. Otieno, at some point, and in the midst of the actual intake process, "they" had decided to relinquish, or release or hand over, their custodial charge to the State hospital -- to the psychiatrist on duty, the staff, and any duly authorized security or technical personnel with pertinent expertise. A clear distinction needs to be made, and probably is according with regulation and statute, between a police custody matter and a de facto mental health unit/hospital matter. I should think that, had the intake been accomplished, any normal interpretation of where, and to whom, "competent authority" had been otherwise transferred, and assumed, could not be questioned or countermanded, even by the Sheriff. In fact, once accomplished, why should the contingent of deputies be anywhere on the property at all? Their business is not on the grounds of the hospital, and it is only proper, not to mention intelligent, that they take leave to resume duties elsewhere. That the whole matter was, evidently, "in process" changes nothing; at some point, for everyone's sake, the worst sort of cop has to "get out of the way"; the cowards cannot be permitted to hide behind a badge, irrespective of their many years of cowering service. Simply put, we are dealing either with a police matter or a mental health matter; and this is true insofar as there are procedures, and protocols along with specialized training, designed to deal specifically, effectively, and humanely with these very issues. The police, obviously, are not in a position to make a call in these situations, and this is so in spite of any precaution on their end with regard to matters of safety or injury, whether to the self or others. I speak from personal experience: It takes far less than a football team of law enforcement and security personnel to subdue, otherwise control, and properly restrain, a person exhibiting behavior of an "uncooperative" or "non-compliant" nature. Leading the patient to a room, fitting "five-way restraints", and administering the appropriate medication accomplishes all that is needed -- safely, rationally, economically. Insane behavior is on display in this video, exclusive of Mr. Otieno's manifest difficulties. Let the "police", on their own time, deal with unsubstantiated criminal acts as they see fit; but keep their god-damned pig trotters off the body of a suffering soul.
My condolences to his family 😢this is disgusting. A total lack of humanity and in a HOSPITAL!! ALL INVOLVED SHOULD BE FIRED INCLUDING THE MEDICAL STAFF, CHARGED AND CONVICTED OF HIS DEATH!!
Hospital officers are supposed to be trained to handle psych emergencies without harming the patient and collaborating with nurses and doctors. State hospitals are pretty difficult to work in, I hear, but PUNCHING a patient and suffocating them? F*cking mind blowing.
I don’t understand why one person (officer/medical staff) can’t say in these circumstances, “Stop 🛑. We are going to far.” No one ever intervenes. Is there not one who is righteous? Mental health should not be punishable by death.
When my son was 14 about 10 grown man, police officers, beat him while he was handcuffed and was asleep. A police man threatened me with incarceration if I tried to stop them. I was alone, of course I was outnumbered, by men. Fortunately my son is alive but was badly bruised. I'm sorry for her loss. 🙏🙏🙏
Damn we can’t even go get mental health help or hospital help without being killed this is truely sad 😢R.I.P to this young man and prayers to his family 🙏🏾💜
If he was so out of control, aren’t there sedative types of medications or shots to calm someone down? Straight jackets? Anything that would help the person from harming themselves or others. This is the place for a person to have physical outbursts because they have been identified as having a mental issue. Damned if you do and don’t.
he wasn't in jail, this happened at a mental health hospital, this is why it's worst for police to come into a mental hospital to remove him, then put him in a jail to kill him*

It could stop, but it's going to require quite a lot of "action"
White Supremacy will never go away in America! The old ones passed the sheets to the young ones!
Well said,it's heartbreaking.
Have you ever been so sad, so frustrated, so scared, so confused, that you don't know what to do? That it's as if you're on autopilot?
Imagine the feeling of seeing a car speed toward you, the exact second before it hits you, even after you've moved. That terror. The horror, the silent plea to your god to protect you, answered by a hulking metal machine plowing through you?
That's the fear of being taken by almost a dozen people and wrestled to the ground, but it lasts so much longer. You struggle because you want to breathe and to get away and your already injured mind tells you to act in the only way you can, to struggle against what holds you down. You can imagine it if you allow yourself. You can feel your heart begin to pound if you allow yourself.
Now step back into the now and think...
What if that were your son? Your friend? Your family? What if it were you? Would you want to live in a system that allows for that overbearing cruelty? Would you really?
This system isn't broken, and it doesn't need "fixing".
This system is working exactly as intended, and needs to be dismantled.
No gods no masters.
If only you were wrong. Truth be told you have described it accurately. It's all berry sysmaticly. I wasn't killed but in several comas. The open display of agrssion is all of to fortified. The system backs up the concept that cops can do no wrong.
U spoke, wrote; what has been on my mind since , TrAyvon, Michael and George, and Laquan, how can none of us see fear, see life trying its best to live outside of the worst feeling fear, and shock.
Shameless. The medical staff are also 😢criminals, all for not doing anything as well.
especially them because they knew better
😠 😡 👿
😊,⁰o
They all knew better pigs are to blame
@Hoxaye L The Medical staff are some major part of such nefarious scenarious.
That is crazy. Okay lights can be replaced. They all are sick. I hope all them can’t sleep at night. That person that lived next door could have contacted the mom or any family. I wouldn’t automatically call cops. And plus all that force is not needed. No person should have that much force on them. Sorry for the loss. Yes Ben they do need to be treated differently not like a criminal.
You were there? You have already passed judgement. You know the whole story.
@diogenes. Open your eyes. If you consciously refuse to accept what is shown and attested to in this report you are down a rabbit hole. I suggest you try to get out of it for your own sake nd other that have to read your willful ignorance 😮
*A Police Killing INSIDE a HOSPITAL
RIP My Kenyan nephew. Prayers to the family 🇰🇪 🇺🇸
Have you ever had an anxiety or panic attack? Now imagine police and medical personnel holding you down on your stomach and not allowing you to move at all. I can't imagine the cruelty. That is a TOTAL LACK of EMPATHY. If you have to be trained to feel empathy, you are a PSYCHOPATH, probably true of a number of people in the police force today. You can't imagine the suffering of a human you are killing? You are a MONSTER. I hope there is some justice. That poor family.
I've had panic attacks. I'm eternally relieved that the cops were never around, or I could've been killed by them. ACAB
Well said because that's exactly what we are dealing with. Real Gotdamn evil personified. I hope that them or their loved ones suffer a cruel fate as well
Mental illness is a disability in my country and people who experience mental health problems are given more care, compassion, understanding and patience so they can begin to recover. We have access to lawyers in psychiatric wards, we have a group of people to care for each other in the mental health community, there are job resources specially for people with disabilities. My family does not have to pay out of pocket for my mental healthcare. We are able to find housing support and we have monetary entitlements given by our government for food and housing. In my country a lot of people have these things but not all so we want the situation here to get better. What I saw in the video is shocking and to hear it is commonplace and has been going on is completely disturbing and wrong. Everyone in that room should be charged. It seems people in the U.S. are losing empathy for each other. Stop your government from giving 70% of your taxes to the military. A small chunk could give so many of your people who suffer more freedom to live independently and become good people.
People in the US can vote, but for many reasons the votes don't count or we can't vote on the things that count. We don't have a true democracy especially because we allow legalized bribery - unlimited campaign contributions from corporations to basically buy a politician's win in elections in exchange for the favors done for the donors.
Hey Nick What Country. My Father pays 50%+ in taxes + over $15,000 in healthcare and the rest on housing here in the states.
Well said
Hospitals, in general, are largely killing machines.
I will agree with that.
Yes. They are. You got that right. I myself was put in handcuffs, thrown in a police car and taken to a mental institution where I was subjected to tremendous physical, mental, emotional, verbal, sexual and psychological abuse. I was thrown on a mattress and stripped down to nothing but my underwear and given multiple injections that put me out for 24 hours. This was done to me twice in an institution and a hospital. I was even strapped to a gurney and taken to a mental institution against my will. All the police and doctors worked aggressively against me to have me labeled as someone with psychosis and schizophrenia which I don't have. My crime: standing on a sidewalk. The United States of Amerikkka is not in a position to preach democracy, freedom and human rights to other countries. It is the most dangerous entity to what it preaches on the face of this planet. The good thing is their time is almost up and they don't even know it.
All the people in that room should be charged
Unfuckingbelievable. WHEN will this end?!
When people fight back. Millions, at the same time.
When black and brown unite stop these deaths.
It won't.
Another tragedy. Another day in America.
These situations/murders are disturbing and happens way too often in this country! Wtf...so much evil. 😔 I send my condolences to Irvo's family and friends 🙏
Absolute monsters.
My mom, God rest her soul, always told us that "Mental Health" is the only disease that people have no sympathy for you and this has to change. Somebody should have stood up and prevented it and because they didn't those individuals should be charged and go to jail.
American human rights
💔💔My heart breaks for this poor man. He needed help. No one stood up for this man and said that's enough. Mercy Lord. They all need to pay. This is awful for his family to have to see. My prayers is for justice for Irvo. Show the family that people do care about what happens to those who violates trust and welfare of those in custody. The Bible says and eye for an eye.
Then we would all be eyeless
This was 1st degree murder. This was intentional and everyone there knew the likely outcome and result would be certain death and being they did this for over 10 min. until dead and not before he died did they stop
Ben Crump has to deal with these violent cases. It must be incredibly emotionally draining. He’s just been representing Tyre Nicholls family now he’s facing this. Thank God for him but I hope he has help with his well being.
Let's hope he is not another blk man working for the deepstate.
He's getting really rich off of this All About the Benjamins baby😂😂
He’s also representing the Shanquella Robinson case! Thank God for his dedication.
@@Loveamericasave crump is not all about money he do have class and decency he has done cases for free
@Dee Lee he should he has hundreds of millions of dollars,lol
I don’t understand how Same culture ppl can treat your own like that after all we’ve been and still going through..Lord help up today…. Young man didn’t have a chance…..my condolence to the family…..
Thank you Amy Goodman, for including your person thoughts - i think, when you said how disturbing it is to see mothers and wives/partners step forward to describe the lost family member. Thank you.
As a medical health professional this is abhorrent.
I live in Virginia about 10 minutes from this institution. I give my deepest condolences to this family. I pray for justice for your family.
A few months ago a friend of mine was going through a health/mental crisis and asked me to take him to the emergency room. He was panicking extremely because of the fear of what he was going through so the hospital called the police. Instead of helping the doctors restrain him so they could treat him, they treated him like a criminal and tazed him 26 times putting him in a coma for 3 days. If that wasn't bad enough when he was released from the hospital, the police were waiting on him to take him straight to jail. When I picked him up from jail he needed to go back to the hospital and he found out he had a heart attack. Right now he's fighting the false charges against him. I told him he needs to get in touch with Ben Crump asap because he could've easily been dead right now
Damm brother are u serious this happened I almost can't believe what am reading.... thanks god am in western Europe were u get help pamaper house nurse medical car if u can drive and all that is for free brother....Damm how can hospital call police on one for suffering mental breakdowns Jesus lord help me and my people in USA
@@davidbishop2329 I'm very serious. U would've thought u were watching John Q the way the police were running in. The only explanation I have for what happened is that we were in Mississippi. They did him wrong man...smh
Does it is really require 20 people to deal with 1 person - the patient is not superhuman.
This is the American Government who's going around the world talking about human rights violations!

MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY 🙏🏽❤️
All I ever think of at times like this is about my dad, who had a manic episode and did a lot of strange things, including criminal actions that he was acquitted of due to his diagnosis.
I just wonder... What would have happened if he weren't white.
No gods no masters.
He would've been put down.
If this happened in another country, America would call it Human Rights Abuse.
Ben Crump is a very good attorney and we need more like him!
That’s sad asf that let’s you know how common it is man one of my friends died in jail kinda recently too, good kid never been in trouble had gotten drunk on his 21st birthday, got into a fight with his dad and they took him to county. They beat my friend until he was brain dead then left him on life support for like a month, parents were not notified until they showed up to his court hearing, I would say a month or two later. Dauphin county prison in Pa I believe it was 2018.. a lot of people in our neighborhood have rougher pasts, and criminal history. He did not. By the time I turned 21 I was already convicted omw to state prison to explain the difference. And just putting that out there so people don’t comment and criminalize my friend. My condolences to this woman and her family. Wish we could get some justice for my friend, but this is a corrupt place and coroner ruled it natural.
They KNEW they were being RECORDED so they THOUGHT THEY WOULD "GET AWAY WITH MURDER"!!!!!!!!!!🤬
@@larryd3002 like everything else in this tragedy.

Is that how they cure mental disorders?
Yeah especially when you a black man in Babylon.
Police should never be allowed at a mental health crisis they are too incompetent they can’t even do their own job properly
Black people have it made in the Philippines
@@robertsolberg7666 what do you mean
They have it good in the Philippines
😢😢😢😢it did not take all of them to pile on top of him to restrain him for 12 minutes. Police are terrorizing the country with stupidity.
Rember the panic we all experienced as children playing a little to rough and not being able to breath just for a few seconds. This is how he died for 12 minutes. This is how he died, by a horrific torture. He was still alive and aware for the entire time he was being murdered. Dying in a state of panic and fear. The worst fear. Death
What are the police doing at the hospital anyway??
Put all of them in jail stop giving them 2nd give them 1first degree.
Yea, why bother with a trial, Amy Goodman says they are guilty, that's enough for me.
@@James-to7pi you crazy ass hell
Put them all in PRISON 70 years a peice
Why blurr it out let this be seen for the people to see what they did.
I can't believe that hospital staff were foolish enough to actually hurt this man
Following to actions of law enforcement officers
To basically smothering this young, mentally ill man to death.
Why in the name of God wasn't this guy treated with compassion and care and helping him,7 cop's and 3 worker's on top of him 10 thugs torturing him to death by suffocating him,were are those cop's and worker's compassion for mental health issues,they really have evil attitudes no compassion what's so ever I do hope they are charged with 1st degree murder because that's what it was,I hope this guy and his family get true justice .!!
My sincere condolences to this guy and his family. ❤❤.
What they did is unforgivable not even God could forgive them.!!
I can't fathom how composed this lady is, considering the pain she must be feeling. God bless the family.
Abolish qualified immunity
OMG…LORD HAVE MERCY…😢😢😢
He was murderer 😢
Indeed, a dog does receive way better treatment than a human being in America. Land of the brave and the home of the free.😢
Real sad situation, Deepest sympathy to the family!🙏 May he Rest in Peace.
What if this was your family? Your child? Your brother? It's just heart breaking.
Defund the police. The police are making the case for defunding the police themselves.
You're just highlighting to people that you won't call the cops if someone commits a crime against you.
@@tmnt10000 if you cannot get thru your life without getting back at the people who wronged you, you will never be done seeking vengeance. Also, could you check your privilege? Some of us cannot call the cops without the cops treating us as hostile. As the good book says, turn the other cheek. Maybe you aren't christian, but it might do you good to consider his words.
@@tmnt10000 most ppl don’t and why should they when they can lose their lives police is racist no matter how you try to cover it up and this is the reason white ppl are hated so much because of denial and turning a blind eye
Police needs defunding with the millions they get a year that can go to mental health
@@deelee5244 💯

I’m sitting here crying because I’m tired of hearing that y’all keep killing us absolutely no empathy! Lord why do they keep killing us???
That's that cop mentality
Some Americans need to be compassionate, that's what they need because all kinds of legislation will not change anything if they do have love in their hearts.
Sorry For Your Lost Mama May You Find Some Comfort In Your Grief.BLESS YOU MAMA
They killed him
Death Sentence For All 10 Murder's !!!!
That poor man, just unimaginable that a mental health facility couldn’t manage his crisis without fatal consequences!! I don’t understand at all. An RN for many years, I KNOW there are medications that would’ve calmed his acute crisis.
Every one watching is as guilty as the person killed the young men
Of course.
This seems also to come down to a basic question of legal "custody" in the first, and strictest, sense. Regardless of what the civil authorities (deputies) might have experienced in their previous dealings with Mr. Otieno, at some point, and in the midst of the actual intake process, "they" had decided to relinquish, or release or hand over, their custodial charge to the State hospital -- to the psychiatrist on duty, the staff, and any duly authorized security or technical personnel with pertinent expertise.
A clear distinction needs to be made, and probably is according with regulation and statute, between a police custody matter and a de facto mental health unit/hospital matter. I should think that, had the intake been accomplished, any normal interpretation of where, and to whom, "competent authority" had been otherwise transferred, and assumed, could not be questioned or countermanded, even by the Sheriff.
In fact, once accomplished, why should the contingent of deputies be anywhere on the property at all? Their business is not on the grounds of the hospital, and it is only proper, not to mention intelligent, that they take leave to resume duties elsewhere.
That the whole matter was, evidently, "in process" changes nothing; at some point, for everyone's sake, the worst sort of cop has to "get out of the way"; the cowards cannot be permitted to hide behind a badge, irrespective of their many years of cowering service.
Simply put, we are dealing either with a police matter or a mental health matter; and this is true insofar as there are procedures, and protocols along with specialized training, designed to deal specifically, effectively, and humanely with these very issues.
The police, obviously, are not in a position to make a call in these situations, and this is so in spite of any precaution on their end with regard to matters of safety or injury, whether to the self or others. I speak from personal experience: It takes far less than a football team of law enforcement and security personnel to subdue, otherwise control, and properly restrain, a person exhibiting behavior of an "uncooperative" or "non-compliant" nature. Leading the patient to a room, fitting "five-way restraints", and administering the appropriate medication accomplishes all that is needed -- safely, rationally, economically.
Insane behavior is on display in this video, exclusive of Mr. Otieno's manifest difficulties.
Let the "police", on their own time, deal with unsubstantiated criminal acts as they see fit; but keep their god-damned pig trotters off the body of a suffering soul.
Thank you. I wish I had you in my corner.
Prayers prayers prayers God help this family 👪
My condolences to his family 😢this is disgusting. A total lack of humanity and in a HOSPITAL!! ALL INVOLVED SHOULD BE FIRED INCLUDING THE MEDICAL STAFF, CHARGED AND CONVICTED OF HIS DEATH!!
Every one of those people there should be charged with something.
No, no, no, my brother! I love you and your mother, her words go deep, your life is a mirror of mine own.
Hospital officers are supposed to be trained to handle psych emergencies without harming the patient and collaborating with nurses and doctors. State hospitals are pretty difficult to work in, I hear, but PUNCHING a patient and suffocating them? F*cking mind blowing.
My condolences to the family &friends my heartache alone with you'll. 🌹🙌🏾🙏🏾
I don’t understand why one person (officer/medical staff) can’t say in these circumstances, “Stop 🛑. We are going to far.” No one ever intervenes. Is there not one who is righteous?
Mental health should not be punishable by death.
When my son was 14 about 10 grown man, police officers, beat him while he was handcuffed and was asleep. A police man threatened me with incarceration if I tried to stop them. I was alone, of course I was outnumbered, by men. Fortunately my son is alive but was badly bruised. I'm sorry for her loss. 🙏🙏🙏
That crazy I hope she gets 1 million dollars for each person that's first degree murder this is so sad and terrifying
Thanks again Amy.
Hold the demons accountable!
Damn we can’t even go get mental health help or hospital help without being killed this is truely sad 😢R.I.P to this young man and prayers to his family 🙏🏾💜
Men. Lovers of themselves. This was down right heinous. They knew he was having a crisis and needed help not to be hurt.
If he was so out of control, aren’t there sedative types of medications or shots to calm someone down? Straight jackets? Anything that would help the person from harming themselves or others. This is the place for a person to have physical outbursts because they have been identified as having a mental issue. Damned if you do and don’t.
Just curious. What was this guy in jail for in the first place?
he wasn't in jail, this happened at a mental health hospital, this is why it's worst for police to come into a mental hospital to remove him, then put him in a jail to kill him*
He was in a psychiatric hospital.
Being on his neighbor lawn I think

These “staff” are likely trained as police - not as emt. Also, State Hospital staff are not the same RNs you get at a regular hospital - why?
