I see alot of people here think all cops should be like the reno 911 force
Recent court documents explain that the decedent began to feel chest pains the evening of May 16, 2009, and went outside to get some air. He thought was he was suffering a heart attack so he flagged down a passing motorist for help, they say.
The driver, Keith Pope, called 911 and subsequently remained with Valentine until emergency responders arrived.
The plaintiffs argue that Garcia, Gandy and Keleman appeared instead of paramedics.
They allegedly drew their weapons on Valentine and instructed him to put his hands behind his back, disregarding his need for medical attention, the suit says.
According to the original petition, the policemen proceeded to punch, Taser and beat the decedent with their flashlights. Valentine was reported to have pleaded for his life to no avail.
The attacks in question left him with a "significant" gash in his scalp and labored breathing. An ambulance finally arrived some 30 minutes after the initial call, however, 20 minutes passed before paramedics lent assistance to Valentine, the plaintiffs say.
The decedent was rushed to a hospital in Houston, but the ambulance was rerouted to Mainland Medical Center in Texas City when he went into cardiac arrest. Valentine was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival.

People need to tell the police officer to yell out their badge numbers and names as we record them. If they won't tell you their badge number and name, demand it from them or call the police on them seriously this is getting out of hand

Yes if you land on your head after being thrown down, and flattened by two officers, you probably will bleed from it, presuming you dont die fom a fractured skull. I don't know if the rules are the same in america, but any head trauma must be phoned straight in for ambulance support, to escort for an X-ray. After they had smashed his head open, they ignored him, not even assesing him for first aid !
