Nice way to dehumanize people.

And he did. "I can see you breathing..." um no I don't think you can, he died a few minutes before you said that lady. There is no acting going in, he really is dead.

No doubt everyone involved went to bed that night thinking he brought it on himself.

Sad to die that way, no animal should die in chains like that.

They "helped him" die.

It was heartbreaking. I cannot believe we call ourselves humane beings. THis is something out of a nightmare.

When Bryan Stevenson was in his 20s, he lived in Atlanta and practiced law at the Southern Prisoners Defense Committee.

One evening, he was parked outside his apartment listening to the radio, when a police SWAT unit approached his car, shined a light inside and pulled a gun.

They yelled, "Move and I'll blow your head off!" according to Stevenson. Stevenson says the officers suspected him of theft and threatened him — because he is black.

The incident fueled Stevenson's drive to challenge racial bias and economic inequities in the U.S. justice system.

The two nurses are laughing at the end if the video, who the hell could laugh in this kind of situation?

It made me sick.

This should NOT happen in any civilized society.

I am embarrassed to be an American.

We are not exceptional.

We are not the shining beacon on the hill.

The U.S. is not what it was advertised to be.

It sickens me to my very core.

members that suffer from seizures.

They do not urinate on themselves.

They are disorientated for at least 1 hour after a bad seizure.

They usually do not know where they are when they come out of a seizure.

They usually sleep for a day or two after a bad seizure.

The U.S. prison system and health care system in the U.S. prison systems are EVIL !!!!!!!!!

If you economic well being depends on a job where mistreatment and torture is permitted you are part of the problem !!!!!!!

You have zero empathy or sympathy.

In a just world when Mr. Lopez drew his last breath, those who watched him die should have drawn theirs as well.

My father was lucky enough to be sick before Reagan was president. Dad was a paranoid schizophrenic. His symptoms began in I guess the mid 60 when I was very young. Too young in fact to understand what was going on. He was in and out of Western State Hospital in Staunton Virginia quite a few times. He would come home and be okay for a while but then revert back to his illness. His final act was destroying a motel room and then wandering down the street naked and going in to a restaurant screaming that he was Jesus Christ. If this happened today, the cops probably would have killed him in the restaurant. Fortunately, they took him to the psych ward at the local hospital ( yes they had a whole floor dedicated as a phych. ward in a town of 18k) and then back to Western State where he died in 1972. Back then, we had places the treated the mentally ill with dignity with the exception of the occasional electric shock and lobotomies. But now, this is what the mentally ill have been reduced to.

This poor man should have been in the hospital instead of a jail cell. We need to take a long hard look at what we've become as a society. I don't think we'll like what we see.
