Man Runs To Police For Help, They Swarm Him and Kill Him Instead, While He Gasps ‘I Can’t Breathe!’

He was running to the police for help, but instead of helping him, Sheriff’s deputies in a Dallas County jail piled on top of him and killed him.

The 47-year-old has not be identified yet, but what we know is that he ran in, screaming for help on Saturday, according to local WFAA.

The man was screaming that his wife was out to kill him. Witnesses told WFAA that the deputies swarmed him, took him down, handcuffed him and grinded their knees into his neck.

“They had him in handcuffs, he wasn’t fighting back, he wasn’t, not letting them restrain him, he was saying, ‘I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe,’” April Berryhill, a witness to the murder told the local station. “One of the officers had him down on the ground with his knee on his neck.”

Dallas County deputies claim that they were “simply trying to calm him down”.

But witnesses aren’t buying it.

“When a person is calling for help, someone should reach out and help them, and not try to go in full-force with the person,” Tiffany Todd White told WFAA. She also saw it all.

“Try to see what’s going on with that person before you start going in and treating him like a dog.”

The man said that he couldn’t breathe, but the deputies didn’t let up. Finally a nurse was called but it was too late.

Jail lobby death ruled homicide; man was high on drugs

Jail lobby death ruled homicide; man was high on drugs

DALLAS — The August 1 death of a man who who was subdued by deputies in the main lobby of the Dallas County jail has been ruled a homicide, sparking calls by the victim’s family and activists for a Department of Justice investigation, and the firing of a deputy who put his knee on Joseph Hutcheson’s neck area during the fatal confrontation.

According to the medical examiner’s office, Hutcheson, 48, died from the "combined toxic effects of cocaine and meth compounded by hypertensive cardiovascular disease [high blood pressure] and physiologic stress associated with struggle and restraint."

“This was a homicide,” said Jeff Hood, executive director of Hope for Peace and Justice, a social justice ministry. “The deputies were the precipitating factor in the death of Joseph Hutcheson … just because someone uses drugs in this country, that it not something we have a death sentence for.”

The family of a man who died after getting into a scuffle with deputies in the Dallas County jail lobby spoke with reporters Monday.

The activists and Hutcheson’s family members want the Justice Department to take over the investigation because they do not trust the sheriff’s department. They also accuse Sheriff Lupe Valdez of repeated deceptions, including a statement that Hutcheson had drugs in his truck when that later proved not to be the case.

They point out that sheriff didn’t put anyone on her staff on restricted duty until nearly two weeks after the incident, and the department didn't release the 40-minute video of the incident until after being publicly confronted by Hutcheson’s family at Commissioners Court.

RAW: Video released of jail lobby scuffle


“Make no mistake: If Joseph Hutcheson had not entered that lobby, he would still be alive,” Hood said. “Make no mistake: We are not stopping until justice is served in this situation.”

After the release of the medical examiner's report Monday, Valdez again said the investigation in ongoing, and that the deputies involved have been reassigned until the review has concluded.

While Hutcheson's death was ruled a homicide, that does not necessarily mean the death was intentional, or that it was a crime. The distinction — when made by a medical examiner — means someone's intentional actions led to the death of another person.

A grand jury will ultimately review the case and determine if anyone should be prosecuted.

After weeks of emotional protests, Valdez on Friday released a 40-minute video showing the final moments of Joseph Hutcheson's life last week. It was made public only after Hutcheson’s wife, mother, brother, and the family’s attorney were given a chance to view it.

The sheriff said Friday that Hutcheson had checked into Parkland Memorial Hospital early that morning and then had checked out — against medical advice —before showing up at the jail lobby.

The video begins with Hutcheson running into the lobby at 10:24 a.m.. He appears distressed, stumbling around the lobby. He sits down, and several people on the bench scatter. It's unclear what he was saying that would have made them do so.

Sheriff's officials have previously said that Hutcheson was yelling that his wife was trying to kill him. He is seen standing up in the security video and continues to limp erratically around the lobby as sheriff's deputies move in to confront him.

One deputy grabs him, taking him to the ground. Another deputy presses his knee into Hutcheson's neck area before removing it. A deputy straddles Hutcheson. The deputy who had put his knee on Hutcheson’s throat then appears to do it again as Hutcheson’s legs continue to flail. Minutes go by as they hold him on the floor; then he stops moving.

When they lift him up onto his knees, he appears limp and motionless.

About 10 minutes expire before a nurse arrives and someone starts chest compressions.

“Nothing my brother did deserved to get his throat crushed and to lay there on that floor and suffocate,” said James Hutcheson, the dead man's brother. “Nothing that he did deserved that.”
