Trent A. Yohe, 37, is pictured on life-support and in intensive care. He died the following day after the life-support equipment was unplugged.
The last thing Trent Yohe heard in life were orders being screamed by paramedics and deputies: "Don't move, lie still. "When the authorities entered the home where Yohe had been sleeping, they said, he suffered a seizure and was combative. He was dragged outside by his feet as officers fired a 50,000-volt Taser at him. The first Taser probe missed before Yohe was hit with the stun gun. Surrounded by deputies and paramedics, Yohe was put in handcuffs and leg restraints, his limbs hogtied behind his back in a "hobbling technique, " as paramedics prefer to call it. A woman standing about 12 feet away said Yohe was kicked repeatedly as he lay on the ground. "They kept telling him, Stop moving, don't resist, lie still, don't move, "Trent didn't even know what was going on at all, she said. His skin was all blue. There was one guy on his head, another on his feet and another one kicking him in the stomach, Jones said. "They kicked Trent so hard that his teeth flew out of his mouth literally flew out across the gravel, " Jones said. "A couple more kicks and Trent went still, his eyes closed, " she said. Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich said they used a "reasonable amount of force. When we know there is a dangerous person who needs to be brought under control, we have to think of the safety of others..." 'PLEASE DON'T KILL ME I'M OK NOW!!! This is the last memory we have of our husband, father, only child, and best friend - Mrs. Frederick Williams, on the death of her husband. I would have never called 911 if I had any idea they might kill my husband. I thought they were going to help him. Why didn't they just give Daddy medicine? - Frederick Williams' 7-year-old son Anyone with the professional training can plainly see that everything was done properly. We have to think of the greater good, the safety of others The hate crime murder of Frederick Williams by the Surgeon General (definition of a hate crime) hate crimes occur when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her membership in a particular group.By statute, hate crimes can result in harsher penalties.
Atlanta Journal Constitution - On the videotape, Frederick Williams is hustled feet-first into the Gwinnett County jail surrounded by 10 or more deputies and paramedics. Williams is handcuffed, his feet are bound, and he is begging the authorities not to kill him. Please don't kill me I'm ok now! Those were the last words of Frederick Williams. Within 90 seconds of the videotape's beginning, Williams is already near death. As deputies pull him one way and the other, you can see on the tape that William's eyes are closed and that his face and neck muscles have gone entirely slack. That's not surprising. Even though he was restrained hand and foot, Williams has already been shot several times with a taser, and in fact was tasered yet again, even after all movement has long ended. Do you want another one? One of the deputies asks, and then tasers him again. Two minutes go by on the tape as they wrestle his now limp body into a restraint chair. Finally someone notices. Is he breathing? A female voice asks. Have the nurse take a look at him, someone else responds. He is not breathing; when the nurse arrives, he can't find a pulse, and Williams does not react to smelling salts under his nose.in perhaps the most damning thing of all, that dire state of affairs inspires no sense of urgency whatsoever. It is a full five minutes before someone begins to administer CPR. But by then, whatever hope might have remained for Williams was lost Anyone with the professional training can plainly see that everything was done properly, Gwinnett County Sheriff Butch Conway said. We have to think of the greater good, the safety of others. &
