William Ahmo uttered the words “I can’t breathe” more than 20 times while officers swarmed and restrained him in a Manitoba jail, video footage of his final hours at the Headingley Correctional Centre shows.
The video footage, shot on a handheld camera inside the jail more than two years ago, was shown in a Winnipeg courtroom last week during the first day of a trial for the corrections officer who faces charges in Ahmo’s death.

Don’t even have to open the article to know that the excuse of the cops will be “that’s just a trick they pull all the time because they think it’ll make us go easy on them, so we didn’t listen”
Well judging by how you keep murdering people by making it impossible for them to breathe, I’d say that “trick” is absolutely fucking justified, you murderous bastards!

Can’t tell if sarcastic or a boot-licking piece of shit…
There are very few situations where, in my opinion, an eye for an eye would be appropriate. This is one of those situations.
When you are given authority over someone else’s life you should be panicked over the idea of causing them significant harm understanding if you do, it will be revisited upon you. For many a prison sentence is a death sentence because of their keepers aren’t interested in maintaining life as much as they are maintaining absolute authority and control.
Absolutely. It’s infuriating to me.
Incarceration leaves people with no meaningful control over their health and safety, so either end all incarceration or provide for inmates’ health and safety. At a minimum, guards and wardens should be investigated, probably fired and prosecuted, every time an inmate dies of anything but old age.
