NYPD detectives jump over glass barrier to save distraught woman on ledge of 54-story NYC building
Heart-pounding footage shows the moment highly trained NYPD detectives climbed over a glass wall to rescue a distraught woman on the edge of a 54-story rooftop in Manhattan last week.
The dramatic rescue of the 33-year-old woman took place last Wednesday at a Midtown building on East 29th Street.
When members of NYPD’s emergency service unit (ESU) responded, they were initially separated from the woman by a glass divider, forcing police to undergo a rope operation to reach the victim, bodycam footage shows.
The ESU team received a call around 3:10 p.m. about a woman who appeared to be ready to jump from the ledge of the 54-floor building, police said.
The video posted online by the NYPD shows at least two ESU members holding onto the woman’s left arm through a slight opening of the seven-foot high barriers.
The footage then cuts to an officer tethered to a rope jumping over the glass wall to join another ESU member who was already assisting the woman on the ledge.
The two ESU detectives then hoisted the woman above the glass wall while police waited on the other side to grab onto her, the footage shows. One of the rescuers reassured her, “You’re OK.”
The woman was taken to Bellevue Hospital, authorities said.
“When the public needs help, they call the police,” the NYPD said in its social media post. “When the police need help, they call ESU.”

Dashcam shows two Dayton police cruisers crash into each other and light poles
Two cruisers collided early April 2 while on the way to assist another officer who apprehend a driver in a stolen vehicle in Dayton.
Dash camera footage shows one cruiser crash into a pole and start smoking.

Bodycam shows a high-speed pursuit, swimming in a lake, hiding in a wooded area, and a drug bust
Video released on Monday by the Indian River County Sheriff's Office (IRCSO) shows how far a suspect would go to avoid arrest.
The eventful night involved two sheriff's offices, a vehicle pursuit, swimming, hiding in a wooded area, and a major drug bust.
The IRCSO said deputies spotted 35-year-old William Field III driving recklessly just before 11:30 p.m. on Friday. Believed to be under the influence and with an active arrest warrant for domestic violence out of Okeechobee County, deputies attempted a traffic stop.
The sheriff's office said deputies tried to pull Field over at a gas station, but he sped off.
Dash cam video released on Monday by the IRCSO shows the adrenaline-inducing encounter.
Deputies followed after Field. The IRSCO said he was reaching speeds of 100 miles per hour as deputies followed him in St. Lucie County.
Video shows the deputy using the patrol vehicle to push the truck off the road as they began to approach traffic. As SLCSO deputies surrounded the car, Field jumped out of the driver's seat and took off. Also in the truck was a woman who was unharmed but frightened from the encounter.
The video shifts to body cam footage, as deputies run after Field.
"Stop you idiot, K-9's gonna bite you," the deputy can be heard shouting at Field. However, Field continues to run.
Moments later, Field can be seen running toward a body of water.
"Show me your hands," the deputy says as he pulls out a taser. Instead of stopping, a splash can be heard, and the Taser is deployed as Field begins to swim away.
"Hey, you better f****** stop," the deputy shouts. "Are we going in the water or what?" the same deputy can be heard asking as Field swims further away.
Roughly 30 minutes later, the scene changes. Deputies with the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office used its K-9 unit to track Field, who was found in a densely wooded area early Saturday morning. After swimming, Field seemingly ditched his clothes, since he was apprehended wearing only shorts.
Following his arrest, deputies seized the truck and found the following drugs:
1790g of Marijuana
73g of Ketamine
6.94g of Heroin
2.16g of Clonazepam
49g of Fentanyl
0.5g of Methamphetamine
Along with his arrest warrant, Field was booked into the St. Lucie County Jail for displaying a firearm during a felony, kidnap/false imprisonment, trafficking fentanyl, fleeing/eluding law enforcement, marijuana possession, DUI, reckless driving, possession of drug equipment, possession of a controlled substance.

Dashcam released after two men from Illinois are in custody after a wild chase in Pleasant Prairie
Last Monday, Pleasant Prairie police spotted a car that was reported stolen, but when they began following the car, a chase ensued.
Police began the chase on Green Bay Road and headed North past the Kenosha water tower. The fleeing car led the officers through neighborhoods and back roads.
Kenosha County Police helped in the chase by blocking some of the roads from oncoming traffic.
The officers used Stop Sticks twice on the car, and the car eventually lost a tire, according to police.
One of the police in the chase tried to use their car to slow down the fleeing vehicle, but it continued to swerve and drive away. The suspect eventually hit one of the police cars, lost control, and crashed into a pine tree on the side of the road.
Two men were taken into custody after the pursuit. The driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
The driver was charged with operating a motor vehicle without owner's consent, fleeing and eluding, and second-degree reckless endangering safety. The passenger was taken into custody as a party to the crime of operating a vehicle without consent. He also has an outstanding warrant for the same crime.
The car was reported stolen from Lake County, Illinois.
PPPD's damaged car will be repaired and back on the road soon, according to the press release.

K9 officer locates man after Kalamazoo off-duty detective sees domestic dispute during marathon
Around 9 a.m. on Sunday, an off-duty detective with Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety (KDPS) was running a marathon when she noticed a man and woman having a dispute.
The pair were in a parked car along the side of the 2000 block of Winchell Ave. when the detective said she saw the man pull out a gun from his waistband. When the woman in the car saw the gun, she got out of the vehicle and ran.
The detective was addressing the situation when another witness alerted a nearby KDPS officer who was directing traffic. The officer went to the vehicle and tried to take the man into custody. However, the man allegedly resisted and ran from the officer. The officer began to chase him and alerted other nearby officers.
The man was able to get away from the officer. However, with more officers flooding the scene, the help of canine officers and bystanders reporting seeing the suspect in the area, police eventually located him hiding underneath a boat in the backyard of a home in the 1600 block of Chevy Chase Blvd.
During the search for the suspect, a canine found a jacket that the suspect had been wearing but discarded. In the jacket, officers say they found over 20 individual packages of a substance they suspected to be cocaine. KDPS said that inside the parked vehicle where the incident began, officers found a handgun with the serial number removed.
The suspect, a 22-year-old Kalamazoo man, was arrested on charges of resisting and obstructing arrest, felon in possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm with altered/obliterated identifying markings, carrying a concealed weapon and possession with intent to deliver cocaine pending review by the Kalamazoo County Prosecutor's Office.
Officials said the man also previously absconded from parole regarding a previous conviction of armed robbery.

Miami shooting suspect hunted by deputies in Indian River County before takedown caught on video
The Indian River County Sheriff's Office shared intense video of a manhunt and takedown involving a man suspected in a Miami shooting.
The Sheriff's Office took to social media, sharing the video and breaking down what led to the arrest of Leequan Stephon Jackson.
Last week, deputies learned that Jackson, 26, of Vero Beach had crossed county lines in a stolen vehicle. He was sought in connection with a Miami shooting incident that occurred the night before, the IRC Sheriff's Office stated.
He had been wanted out of Miami for attempted murder and three counts of tampering with a victim. Jackson was considered armed and dangerous due to the nature of the crime, according to deputies.
Deputies were alerted that Jackson was driving a stolen Ford F150, being followed by a red SUV. In the video, units are seen taking down both vehicles simultaneously in search of Jackson.
After the vehicles were stopped, deputies learned that Jackson had already been dropped off but was still in the area, IRC Sheriff's Office explained. In order to convince Jackson to surrender to deputies, his family called him, and after some time, he agreed to turn himself in.
Videos show the moments when Jackson was tracked down and surrendered to deputies.
Following Jackson's arrest, he was taken to the IRC Jail, facing charges including attempted murder and tampering with victims.
He was set to appear in bond court on Saturday. He is being held without bond.

Body camera shows the moments before Kalamazoo police K-9 is stabbed by a man holding a knife
"Put the knife down, put the knife down," a Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety officer yelled.
News Channel 3 obtained body camera video that shows moments before a man stabs K-9 Sledge and threatens to kill police.
The incident happened on Tuesday, Feb. 6.
Background: Man who stabbed Michigan K-9 in throat charged with home invasion, sexual assault
Fred Walker, 49, is charged with six different felonies:
First-degree home invasion - punishable by up to 20 years in prison, and or a fine of up to $5,000
Second-degree criminal sexual conduct (weapon used) - punishable by up to 15 years in prison, mandatory STD testing
Police animal - killing/serious injury - punishable by up to five years in prison, and or a fine of up to $10,000
Two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon - punishable by up to four years in prison, and or a fine of up to $2,000
Assaulting, resisting and obstructing a police officer - punishable by two years in prison, and or a fine of up to $2,000
Walker admitted to police that he did intentionally stab K-9 Sledge.
He came out of a home on West Kalamazoo Avenue shirtless Feb. 6, after a woman claimed he followed her into the home grabbed her by the throat then threatened to rape and kill her.
Kalamazoo public safety officers arrived to the house soon after.
Walker then came at police with a knife while cussing and shouting at officers, "I am going to kill you."
“Hey Fred get back, put the knife down, hey Fred put the knife down," an officer yelled.
Walker ignored commands and continued walking towards officers with a knife in his hand.
“If you have a taser we need to tase him," an officer said to another officer.
“f**** n****why you running?” Walker said.
Several officers had a gun drawn on the 49-year-old, but he didn't stop.
“I am going to shoot you okay? You need to put your hands up," an officer said.
Walker refused to put his hands up while continuously cussing at officers.
K-9 handler Max Houtman announced he was going to release K-9 Sledge.
“I’m going to kill that mother f****** dog," Walker said. "Bite your master, bite his d***!"
The officer gave Walker one last chance before releasing Sledge.
“Drop the knife, drop it," the officer said.
Walker still refused, then fell to the ground while stabbing Sledge multiple times in the neck.
Then a chaotic struggle ensued, officers held Walker down while he told them he believed he was dead.
“I didn’t realize I was dead," Walker said.
"You’re not dead, you’re not dead," an officer reassured him.
Sledge was rushed to a local animal hospital. The K-9 did survive the vicious attack.
Sledge was stabbed in the jugular vein and sustained 40% blood loss, public safety officers said.
Police told News Channel 3 the K-9 is a "hero". He is back at work and has been doing well since the incident, according to police.
Walker's defense attorney argues Walker has mental health issues including schizophrenia.
Walker is due back in court June 26 for a status review, which will determine if he's mentally competent to stand trial.

Body camera shows an intense struggle in Tooele with ‘Proud Boys’ fugitive
On April 23, according to court and jail documents, police were looking for 37-year-old fugitive Amber Pyne on an active warrant for her arrest.
When they pulled up to a home on Haylie Lane, officers said she went inside, as did another man.
Documents stated as officers searched for Pyne in the house, they spotted a man, later identified as 33-year-old Gordon Wesley Cronk, exiting a basement door. Cronk, officers wrote, told them he didn’t see Pyne when he was in the basement.
According to a probable cause statement, officers subsequently located Pyne “hidden under several boxes and random household possessions” that had been stacked on top of her.
Body camera footage documented the moment when an officer told Cronk, already in another officer’s immediate custody, that he was being placed under arrest for obstruction.
“Why?” Cronk could be heard asking in the video.
“Because you were aiding and abetting a fugitive,” the officer said.
In roughly 2 seconds, the video showed the exchange turn into an all-out struggle.
Court documents stated that Cronk grabbed onto one officer’s rifle by the handle and then later grabbed the same officer’s holstered handgun during the struggle. It lasted approximately 40 seconds, and resulted in Cronk being tazed twice.
“Knock it off!” one officer could be heard instructing Cronk after the struggle ended. “Sit down for a second!”
According to documents, Cronk refused to tell officers his name or provide any ID. He was eventually identified via a fingerprint scanner that revealed he was wanted on two NCIC warrants, including one with nationwide extradition.
“When we started to do some more research, it does look like he’s a member of the ‘Proud Boys’ organization,” Bentley said. “(He) wasn’t even on our radar. We had no idea who he was, that there were warrants—nothing. We weren’t aware of him whatsoever.”
Documents stated that a witness told police Cronk was Pyne’s boyfriend.
Pyne was booked on suspicion of misdemeanor failure to stop at the command of law enforcement related to the April 23 incident. Documents showed that a warrant for her arrest was issued on April 16 for failing to comply with the terms of her probation in a 2021 case in which she pleaded guilty to a third-degree felony charge related to drug distribution.
Cronk was subsequently charged with two counts of first-degree felony disarming of a police officer of a firearm, two counts of third-degree felony assault by a prisoner, and one count of third-degree felony obstructing service of a board of pardons’ warrant or a probationer order to show cause.
His next court appearance was a scheduling conference on May 14, court records showed.

Department of Corrections release bodycam of a lieutenant running over an inmate with a UTV vehicle
Newly released body cam video from an incident at an Ohio women’s prison has sparked controversy and calls into question the validity of possible abuse allegations at the Marysville prison. The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections (ODRC) told the Guardian last month that an internal investigation is underway at the prison after inmates reported alleged abuse by staff.
The body cam footage shows a corrections' lieutenant, later identified as Thierno Bah, driving a UTV (Utility Terrain Vehicle) at a high rate of speed and then appearing to drive directly into a group of inmates, striking one individual. The inmate reportedly sustained injuries and received hospital treatment.
In a statement, the ODRC said, “A staff member driving a UTV was responding to an incident when the vehicle came into contact with an incarcerated person.” The statement added that the Bah checked on the inmate’s well-being. The inmate was then treated at the prison infirmary before being transferred to an outside hospital for further evaluation, and reportedly returned to the reformatory the following day.
According to paperwork, the driver of the UTV, Thierno Bah, was a staff lieutenant.

Dashcam footage shows West Terre Haute police officer fatally shooting a dog
WTWO has obtained dash-cam footage from West Terre Haute Police showing the moment an officer shot a dog that police say was being aggressive.
It happened Tuesday afternoon in West Terre Haute near the intersection of Johnson Avenue and Arthur Place.
Police were called to the scene on a report of two aggressive dogs on the street. While police say one dog seemed friendly, they added that the other dog repeatedly “lunged and snapped” at the officer.
In the video, an officer can be seen approaching the dogs, the small black chihuahua greats the officer in a friendly manner. While the medium-sized tan dog begins to bark at the man.
West Terre Haute Police said the officer attempted to shoo the dog away, and kick at it to get it to retreat before removing his agency issued handgun from its holster and firing a single shot, striking the dog and killing it.
WTWO reached out to WTHPD to see if they had any further comment, and have not heard back.
The dog’s owner, Vicki McVey, said she watched the dashcam footage at the police department the morning after the incident.
“He approached her, and she came up and was barking at him, and you know, it was like, her tail was wagging and about three times in to him trying to reach down and grab her, he just pulled out his pistol and shot her in the head,” McVey said.
McVey told us she was not at home when the incident happened.

Pasco County release bodycam of deputies who shot, killed a woman who threatened them with knife
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating after Pasco deputies shot a woman who threatened them with a knife in Hudson on Thursday afternoon.
The incident started about 3:30 p.m. at a pet cemetery near Denton Avenue and Dane Lane, Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said during a news conference. Isabella North, 29, had flagged down a passerby and said she needed help.
The passerby called 911 and put North on the phone with the dispatcher, Nocco said. According to Nocco, North told the dispatcher: “I really feel like I’m going to kill somebody,” and “I have been diagnosed as clinically insane.” She also told the dispatcher she had a knife.
“Clearly we have somebody who was homicidal and who was armed,” Nocco said.
Two deputies arrived, but when they started talking to North, she pulled a 12-inch knife from her waistband and raised it above her head in an “attacking position,” Nocco said.
Body-worn camera footage released by the sheriff’s office shows the incident unfolded in about 30 seconds. In the video, a deputy greets North by her first name and asks her how she’s doing. North’s response is inaudible. The deputy asks her, “So what’s going on today? What are your thoughts here,” and then North draws the knife from her waistband.
“You mind just throwing that down?” the deputy asks.
North raises the knife above her head and holds her other arm out in a defensive stance.
“Don’t do that,” the deputy says, drawing his gun. “Don’t do that. Please don’t do that. Put that down.”
Both deputies continue to tell North to put the knife down. She continues to approach them, quickening her pace. Each deputy fires one shot, and North falls to the ground.
She was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Nocco said no deputies were hurt in the incident.
“It’s a very sad situation,” Nocco said. “The deputies are all trained in de-escalation, however, the subject did not allow us to talk to her. They did not allow us to de-escalate the situation.”
The sheriff’s office did not release the names of the deputies involved, but said they have been placed on administrative leave.
“I watched the BWC (body-worn camera footage). I listened to the 911 call. Those deputies did what they had to do,” Nocco said. “Those deputies prevented a homicide.”

Surveillance video shows York Regional officer struck by vehicle during auto theft investigation
York Regional Police say one suspect was arrested and a second remains at large after an officer was struck by a vehicle during an auto theft investigation in Toronto earlier this week.
It happened on April 30 at around 7:30 a.m. in the Overlea Boulevard and Thorncliffe Park Drive area.
The incident unfolded after investigators with the York Regional Police Auto Cargo Theft Unit (ACTU) and the Integrated Property Crime Task Force located two stolen vehicles in the area and moved to arrest two suspects.
“One suspect was arrested after a short foot pursuit,” police explained in a release.
“The second suspect entered a vehicle and drove at police, striking both a police vehicle and an officer. The suspect crashed the vehicle into a nearby building and fled on foot.”
The incident was captured on security video, which police released on Friday.
The video shows a grey minivan trying to flee the scene. It crashes head-on into an officer who is running in the middle of the road, sending him airborne before he slams onto the road.
The impact of the crash sends one of his shoes flying in the other direction.
Despite the ferocity of the impact, police say the officer wasn’t seriously injured. He was treated at a nearby hospital for minor injuries and was released a short time later.
Police arrested Ahmed Abdul-Wasee, 18, of Toronto. He’s charged with theft of motor vehicle, possession of property obtained by crime, trafficking property obtained by crime as well as fail to comply with undertaking and possess an automobile master key.
The second suspect (pictured below) remains at large.
He’s described as a male with brown skin, a thin build and black hair. Police say he’s around five foot eight.

Dashcam shows Escambia County deputies crashing into a fleeing vehicle to make an arrest
A Northwest Florida man was arrested late Thursday night after trying to run from deputies and almost hitting them with his vehicle, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
28-year-old Alexander George Deloach, who has a Molino address, was found on the 8400 block of Old Spanish Trail, according to officials.
Deloach allegedly tried to run from deputies and almost hit them with a vehicle.
Deputies performed a PIT maneuver to stop him at the intersection of Harbor Square and Breakwater Circle, according to officials. A Precision Immobilization Technique involves law enforcement forcing a vehicle to turn sideways, causing it to spin and stop.
Deputies arrested Deloach and charged him with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, fleeing and eluding, possession of cocaine and possession of marijuana less than 20 grams.
Officials said Deloach had active warrants for homicide, revoked bond, and grand theft of a motor vehicle.

Attorney general releases bodycam video of deadly NYPD shooting of 19-year-old armed with scissors
0:00 - Bodycam 1
2:55 - Bodycam 2
-----
New York officials have released police body camera video as part of the investigation into the deadly police shooting of Win Rozario.
Rozario, 19, died on March 27 following an encounter with the NYPD in Queens.
Police responded to a 911 call at 103rd Street and 101st Avenue and came across Rozario holding a pair of scissors.
Two officers fired their guns at Rozario. He was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
A man wielding scissors was shot and killed by police in the Ozone Park section of Queens on Wednesday afternoon.
Officers were responding to a home on 103rd Street after a mother called about her 19-year-old son acting erratically.
When officers arrived, they were confronted by the man who was wielding scissors.
NYPD officials say the officers attempted to take the man into custody and get him help, but instead, he pulled a pair of scissors out of a drawer and charged at the officers.
The officers initially fired their tasers at the man, in the living room kitchen of his second-floor home, but as his mother rushed to his aid, officials say "she accidentally knocked the tasers out of his body," rendering them ineffective.
The suspect then picked up the scissors and came at the officers again, forcing them to open fire.
"It was chaotic, fast moving, and they had to defend themselves," NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said.

DC police release bodycam of an officer shooting, killing 2 dogs during a stabbing call
Two dogs were shot and killed by a D.C. police officer while responding to a call in Northwest Thursday afternoon.
According to MPD, officers were responding to a report of a stabbing in the 3600 block of 11th Street, NW, just before 1:40 p.m. when the off-leash dogs reportedly charged at them.
One officer fired shots, killing both pets. Police did not find any evidence of a stabbing in the area.
FOX 5’s Homa Bash was at the scene covering a different crime — an overnight triple shooting that occurred near the intersection of 10th and Spring Road, NW — when she saw the chaos unfolding between police and the dogs.
She spoke with the dog’s owners, who say they’re devastated by the action taken by the officer.
"None of us feel safe and police are supposed to make us feel safe, and they just shot both of my puppies. They shot my babies," Namora and Jeanava Thompson said to FOX 5. "Why? That's my dogs!"
The dogs, Wednesday and Luna, were both a year old. One was a Staffordshire terrier and the other was a Shihtzu mix. Wednesday was pregnant and expecting puppies soon. The family says one of the dogs got out from under the gate and into their back alley.
"All of a sudden she heard gunshots. One of the puppies got out and he just shot the dog. My dog is dead," Jeanava said. "Both of my dogs are dead."

Man armed with a knife reported a false stabbing in 911 call is fatally shot by Arlington police
New bodycam footage and 911 audio reveal what happened when Arlington police officers shot and killed a man last week.
The shooting happened at an apartment complex in North Arlington near the intersection of North Collins Street and Green Oaks Boulevard on April 25.
According to police, a man called 911, saying he stabbed another man to death. The caller was later identified as 31-year-old Michael Bassey.
Bassey called 911 twice in the span of one minute. In the first call, he told dispatch, "I'm going to kill him" and "you know what to do."
In the second call, he asked what the response time was and that he killed someone named Michael because "he was talking too much" and then "I took the knife from the kitchen and I stabbed him."
Bodycam footage showed Bassey running towards police with the knife in his hand. In the video, police are heard telling Bassey to drop the knife before he was shot, falling to the ground. After he fell, he got up and ran away.
Police chased Bassey on foot, continuing to ask him to drop the knife. Bassey then charged toward officers again with the knife. Another officer then deployed a Taser, causing Bassey to fall over. He continued running into a field, where police were able to take the knife from his hands and detain him.
Officers noticed he had a gunshot wound and performed life-saving measures until paramedics arrived. He had one gunshot wound, although the officer who shot him fired their gun twice.
He was taken to a local hospital, where he died, police said.
"I believe every officer who responded to this call made every effort to de-escalate the situation," Arlington Police Chief Al Jones said.
Jones said officers checked the apartment for stabbing victims, but there was no one inside. They also checked local emergency rooms, but there were no stabbing victims. Jones said he doesn't believe Bassey stabbed anyone, despite his 911 calls.
No police officers were injured.

NYPD bodycam shows officers breaching Columbia University building taken by anti-Israel protesters
Video taken from New York City police officers' body-worn cameras shows authorities forcing their way inside a Columbia University building this week that had been overtaken by anti-Israel protesters.
The video shows the moment NYPD officers wearing protective gear breached Hamilton Hall on Tuesday night, where the protesters had barricaded themselves inside.
"We shall not be moved," protesters outside the building are heard singing as officers move toward the building.
Many of the protesters were not students at the university, but outside agitators, NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Public Information Tarik Sheppard told "Your World Cavuto" on Thursday.
"They are professionals," he said." They may just fly in for a day or two and leave. You'll see them traveling around the country, and they have funding."
"The students are already passionate and upset about an issue, and now you have a person whispering in your ear 'Hey, you know, we should take over the building' or something like that," Sheppard added. "When young minds that are in that state, it's pretty easy to then be influenced by somebody who is a professional at manipulation."
The bodycam footage shows the officers using a tool to open a front door at Hamilton Hall, which had multiple chairs stacked against it from the inside.
Once inside, the officers encountered a man-made barrier of what appeared to be furniture that required a saw to cut through. Protesters are heard from the outside chanting "Free, free Palestine!"
At one point, an officer says "Let's deploy a flashbang (grenade)," which was followed by a series of loud bangs. After cutting through the barrier, officers came into contact with protesters sitting inside a room where they were detained.
Authorities were only allowed to move protesters from the campus after the university officially requested help, Sheppard said, adding that several universities in the city have asked the NYPD to have a presence on their campus at least through the middle of May.
"Many of them are requesting that. What we've asked is that they come up with a plan to self-sustain. However, we will not leave them, and we don't want the campuses to return to the state that it was in," he said.

El Paso Police releases body cam footage related to in-custody death of El Paso man
The El Paso Police Department has released the body cam footage from the arrest of 35-year-old Jonathan Rose Eddens, who died in police custody on April 14.
Police were originally sent to Alameda Avenue and San Marcial Street on a call about a man standing in the street. Upon arriving, officers spot Eddens walking in and out of traffic and claim he had blood on his face. The officers try to speak with Eddens, but he repeatedly tries to walk away. The confrontation grows more aggressive as officers tell him to stop, or they will use a stun gun on him, and one officer is heard claiming Eddens said he would stab him.
Eddens eventually stops walking, but then appears to resist as several officers move to detain him. Eddens eventually breaks free from the officers' grasp before being brought down by a stun gun charge. The video appears to show officers punch and kick Eddens as he's held down, also using a stun gun multiple times as they struggle to put him in handcuffs. Blood can be seen coming down Eddens' face, but it is not clear whether it is from the previously mentioned wound or the struggle.
After handcuffing Eddens, officers put him on an ambulance and sent him to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
