Body cam footage of Richmond police officers detaining Jose Lopez, who later died

WARNING: Some viewers may find this content disturbing.
Jose Luis Lopez-Rodriguez, 40, died in a hospital March 19, 2020, two days after Richmond officers tackled him and struck him with batons and fists, while attempting to arrest him for allegedly assaulting his estranged girlfriend. Six months later, the sheriff’s office certified the death as an accident caused by “acute cocaine toxicity” and “excited delirium” - the latter of which is a disputed medical concept that at least three physician groups have rejected as an improper means of writing off deaths caused by police violence.

So sad to see what our law enforcement has to come to I think it's sad that you guys thank him for killing a person whether he was innocent or guilty are they killed a person what if that was your family what would you do they killed a person they didn't have to go to the extreme to do that
