Fort Worth Police on Wednesday released new videos following a man’s death after being detained at a Fort Worth mall.
“Not knowing anything about his medical condition prior to the incident, I think a reasonable police officer would look at him…that he’s acting out,” Dr. Del Carmen said. “I think initially, the officer exercised a great deal of patience trying to hold him down. Then someone came to assist him.”
“We advise police officers not to do that. Not to put a suspect facing down on the ground, on the floor. Even in an attempt to apprehend him. The reason for that is exactly because of the fact that the person can be under the influence of narcotics. That will simply affect the pathways to breathe,” Del Carmen explained. “I’m not saying the person died because of that.
Zapata’s family reviewed the videos with Fort Worth Police earlier this week and were aware portions would be released to the public, according to Zapata’s cousin, Reuben Garcia. Del Carmen said videos will be crucial evidence as information on the incident is being gathered. He added, videos don’t tell the whole story.
