An Earlier Choking Incident of a Man By Police in Oklahoma Last Year Comes to Light

Another similar death to George Floyd's occurred in Oklahoma last year, and the video of it has suddenly come to light. 

The man's name is Derrick Scott, and he was 42 years old. He, like Floyd, told the officer that he could not breathe.

The police officer responded by saying he did not care.

Yet another video of an incident that underscores just how badly an overly militant police force with seeming total impunity to do whatever they wish is causing more problems than it appears to be solving in this country right now. 

Here is the link to this story:


GEORGE FLOYD DEATH 'I can't breathe,' Oklahoma man tells police before dying. 'I don't care,' officer responds. Newly released video of the 2019 incident shows officers restraining Derrick Scott, 42, who is heard asking repeatedly for his medicine and saying he can’t breathe.
