Wilkerson then says"breathing, bro," to the officers, seemingly panting as officers ask him to stand up, the video shows. One of the officers recounted what happened to the others.
Bowman said she believed the officer's response was that they were not going to take him to the hospital. The remaining four minutes of the video include Bowman talking to officers, including yelling"he can't breathe" at one point. The video ends with officers driving away. "To ensure a complete and thorough independent investigation of the circumstances surrounding Mr. Wilkerson's death, the city immediately requested that the Kentucky State Police conduct the investigation and has cooperated fully with the process," the statement said.
Well maybe she should have stopped recording for 2 minutes and called herself!
I think that I have PTSD from living in this state. I used to live in Ashland, and I am sure that I am going to need therapy to recover. Rest in Heavenly peace, my heart goes out to his family.
Floyd 2.0
Typical
KYCara It was a SIX YEAR OLD WARRANT on a misdemeanor case where the bond was 500 dollars.
shaunking I will never understand the lack of sense these police officers demonstrate. Call for help, why is it such a big deal? A 35 year old person is dead for an outstanding warrant.
shaunking Smh
shaunking More gratuitous cruelty from incompetent, overpaid doormen.

Sad! Perhaps he shouldnt have run from the LEO. Also LEOs aren't medically trained at least not enough to determine a medical emergency. What was the warrant for?
They should publish monthly stats on people who died in police custody and that way we’d see it from a more comprehensive perspective.
He died from Covid
They was in such bad shape and his friend knew he had a heart condition and he couldn't breathe why didn't his friend call 911 instead of standing there filming so he could be the center of attention through all this
All Cops Are Fascist
CynicalVision50 It's the south. Their cops are murderers.

Here we go again. And each of these stories seems to get less and less coverage. Just another day in the USA…
This is a sad and classic case of crying wolf. I've seen multiple arrests with many saying 'I can't breathe' in a sad imitation of George Floyd. If everyone is saying it, no one will be believed. Very sad.
To the people asking why she filmed and didn't call 911 for help. 911 was there... they killed the guy... mabey he shouldn't have run.. or mabey he was afraid they'd, idk... kill him💁🏼♂️
When people see these things occurring, why don't 'they' call 911 to get help for the victim? It's obvious we cannot depend on officers to do the right thing.
Don’t commit crimes, don’t resist.
Why didn’t Obamacare cure his heart condition prior to this? Maybe with a preexisting heart condition a wiser choice would not have been a life of crime.
Cops are a union crime organization paid by taxpayers and protected by federal and state laws!!
Dude dies because he has a heart condition that caused him to stop breathing after he was restrained in cuffs with his hands behind his back, after he ran from the police. What is one common denominator among officer involved shootings? The perp always evades arrest. Don't run!
It's like the boy who cried wolf. Everyone who gets arrested now yells that they can't breathe. So when someone actually can't breathe, the cops ignore it, and this happens. Poor guy.
Today i just found out Facebook Suspended my account not for vulgarity or politics or anything that most would say is nasty or bad. I posted my own music that is what got me suspended. yet porn and con artist with Bit coin & magic spells & investor gritters run wild on facebook
Why did the person filming call for help instead of filming
How many times do they have to show you, they don’t care if someone can’t breathe. Start calling them yourselves. Be persistent! They won’t do it. They don’t black people as human beings, the goal is get you locked away or kill you.
nbc will spin whatever happened into the worst thing possible to get our race relations even further in the toilet.
End qualified immunity. (Yes I know what it is) (if you ask why, you are part of the problem)
And the taxpayers will pay
Ahhh the “News”. Keeping racism alive in America.
My first question. What was this person doing that got him this position?
Was fetanyl involved?
Let me guess this man has a police record
Here we go again. Gas lighting something they are assuming. Can’t wait for the real facts to come out? Nothing said when a cop is murdered but I guess that’s ok.
Don't break the law 🤷♂️
Freedom of information act. Some situations on incident s report s with police department s The complainting party exhausted all remedies on the other party. The point on this story and some stories inside America. Two- sides to every story... K Dixie
Second watch and Observation. Incident report to police department s from citizen s inside America they police department s be non- bias and Prejudice s? A female word against a man a police reform bill should improve the man statement to the police. K Dixie
Police reform bill pray to god happen... As a ex- convict I have petition president of the united states'of America and the attorney general of the united states'of America. To introduce a police reform bill. Mr Kevin Lee Dixie fort Wayne Indiana..
free jacob chansley!
Maybe he shouldn't have tried to flee and evade Police with a heart condition 🤦 fleeingandevadingpoliceifyouhaveaheartcondition 🤪
Everyone says that
How about Ashli Babbitt she was murdered in cold blood?
Oh well comply don't die
The Police don’t need to arrest anyone, don’t break the Law , don’t be a criminal
The friend filmed vs calling 911?
Lisa Edwards died in police custody and treated like human garbage. The cops are back on patrol.
Ran from and resisted Officers, all while having a health condition. Now it’s someone else’s fault
Wow
Another Jessie smollet moment!
joimonki The cops are a crime wave.
Don’t run with a heart condition. Duh!
If you aren’t healthy enough to break the law, don’t!
They are a gang who needs to be prosecuted as an organized crime enterprise
I doubt they didn't call.
cops kill cops lie
Outrageous. This is murder. 😵💫
Being a cop is difficult and often under-appreciated, andI appreciate the importance of officer safety. But, this guy was in custody and an acquaintance was relaying he had a medical condition. Where is the humanity!?! Call a frickin ambulance already!!! AmericaDeservesBetter
Let me guess; he resisted, right?
Onlyinthe80s It goes on and on and on,the evil that people do...
One less criminal. Here's an idea...don't break the law!
So you're saying that those cops are about to get promotions and massive raises in pay? ACAB
😂😂😂
Resistance is fatal more often than futile? You're going to be assimilated. You can see what it's like by studying the Native American Indians and their delightful reformation through the compulsory higher education being offered by the United States and it's lawmakers. 3 outta 4
Here we go again!
WOW!!!!💔😪
I bet he resisted arrest.
Just get rid of cops already.
So….he was vaxxed?
Thankless job being a cop these days. Yes they fuck up, but try it once, and you’d never want do it again.
Horrifying and unnecessary
Yet again, police murder someone. That's gotta be at least 300 for the year. WTF are we doing?!
Boo fin hoo.
