Sgt. James Brown, 26, Survived Two Tours in Iraq,Died Begging for Life in texas jail
http://m.democracynow.org/stories/15227
Newly released video has revealed the dying moments of an African-American active-duty soldier who checked himself into the El Paso, Texas, county jail for a two-day sentence for driving under the influence, and died while in custody in 2012. Authorities claimed Sgt. James Brown died due to a pre-existing medical condition, but shocking new video from inside the jail raises new questions about what happened. The video shows guards swarming on top of him as he repeatedly says he can’t breathe and appears not to resist. By the end of the video, he is shown naked, not blinking or responding, his breathing shallow. Attorneys say an ambulance was never called. Brown was eventually brought to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His family had long suspected foul play in his death but received little information from authorities. They’ve now filed a lawsuit against El Paso County saying his constitutional rights were violated._

Pretty sad. Another wasted life of a veteran who served. It's too bad.

agreed, these situations are never funny. war veterans can and usally HAVE to take the worst shit around and sometimes can't even bring themselves to tell others about it.
to die begging for life when he has gone through 2 tours.... its discraceful that he should have gone through that when he deserves better
