Bodycam footage of Knoxville TN police arresting, mocking, and abusing Lisa Edwards
Body and cruiser cam footage timeline:
The firstofficer arrived just before 8 a.m., about an hour after Edwards was discharged from the hospital.
Edwards told the officer she had a stroke and couldn’t walk, but he responds by telling her the hospital wants her gone.
The officer tells Edwards if she won’t leave, she is going to jail and would be charged with trespassing.
Officers and the jail transport van driver struggle for 30 minutes to get Edwards up and into the side compartment of the van. They repeatedly call her dead weight and complain that she won’t cooperate by standing or lifting her feet.
Edwards repeatedly tells officers and staff she can’t breathe or stand, but they respond by telling her she has been medically discharged and is fine.
After Edwards repeatedly asks for her inhaler, someone eventually finds the medicine and gives her the inhaler. Officers note that she is not using it correctly and one offers her a cigarette.
Officers repeatedly say they think she is “playing games.”
The police then decide to take her to jail in a regular police cruiser because it is easier than putting her in the van.
Edwards can be seen gasping and wheezing and falling back into a slumped position in the cruiser. Within 10 minutes, she has slipped out of sight and cannot be heard any longer. The officer drives another three minutes before he stops to help a motorist. It is another minute before he returns to the vehicle and finds Edwards unconscious.
The officer says he doesn’t know if she is faking, but says she is not answering him.
According to the Knox County District Attorney's Office, she was taken back to Fort Sanders hospital and later died Feb. 6.
