1 apr 2010 anni - David Smith

Descrizione:

A Minneapolis police officer's body-worn camera (BWC) captured evidence that raised concerns that 28-year old David Smith had died of suffocation during a struggle with MPD officers, that took place at the downtown YMCA in 2010. Smith had a history of mental illness. Smith's family's lawyers—the Minneapolis law firm of Gaskins Bennett Birrell Schupp—successfully sued Minneapolis for $3.075 million in 2013, the "second-largest for police misconduct" in the history of Minneapolis. The officers used the "controversial" police technique called "prone restraint" or "positional asphyxia", in which officers "forced Smith onto his stomach, then placed a knee in his back and held him down for about four minutes, which the family attorneys said made it impossible for him to breathe."
