In one of the most disturbing videos to have emerged from the drug war, a dashboard camera has caught police officers in Louisiana using force on a man who was trying to put a small bag of white powder in his mouth. The man died a short time later at the scene. A person who answered the phone at the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office confirmed that the dash-cam video is authentic. A spokesman, though, wasn't immediately available. The man was apparently attempting to avoid arrest by swallowing the drugs he had on him. In the video, an officer can be heard repeatedly shouting "spit it out," while he is shown trying to force the man's jaw open. An officer later is heard describing what they found in his mouth as a "plastic bag with white powder." "Is he breathing?" one officer can be heard asking, after several minutes of attempting to force open his mouth. "I don't know," says another. The Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office later said that the officers actions were warranted. "He was appropriate in his actions. He followed departmental protocol in trying to arrest a subject who tried to resist," Chief Deputy Jason Ard told local reporters.

| shit, i cant watch that, but sure am glad i dont live in lousiana. heck, after reading this, you couldnt pay me to go there on 1 day vacation. law officials often have got the wrong idea that the law is the law and that the law is much more important than people... but those cops are just sadists on a powertrip. and it seems the entire station at least is the same and wants it to keep going, or just simply just wants to ignore the problem in hope of it going away.. | ||

| our society is truly becoming fucked up where cops don't care about the people. i have alot more to say but you all are already thinking it. the police are alienating themselves from us and putting the law before protecting and serving. unless the guy was gonna hurt someone they shouldn't be using deadly force.

I'm just going to say what I would've done in the guy's shoes.... I would've just got busted for the cocaine if the police officer found it................... The fat guy was already at risk of a heart attack and also being under the influence of a stimulant such as cocaine to then go into such activity as fighting an officer............ having said that.... what a dumbass for resisting, what a dumbass for doing cocaine, what a dumbass cop for doing all that for someone swalling drugs, and wow.... how sad someone died over this...

| The cop probably thought he was doing the guy a favor by not letting him eat the coke. Ironic that he died anyway.
