After Withholding Public Video Authorities Change Jamal Sutherland's Death Certificate to "Homicide." SC Prison Cops Tased and Smothered Black Man and Had a Knee on His back for Over 2 Minutes

From [HERE] and [HERE] A Black man in South Carolina who was pepper-sprayed and tasered by police officers died of abnormal heart event, authorities have said. 

Charleston County Coroner Bobbi Jo O’Neal told reporters that Jamal Sutherland’s death was changed from "undetermined" to "homicide," reports said on Thursday. 

O’Neal said that the man died “as the result of a cardiac event,” which was likely a fatal dysrhythmia, also called an abnormal heart rhythm.

The incident happened earlier this year, but body camera footage of his death was released by authorities last month.

Police were trying to forcibly pull out Sutherland from his cell. Two deputies shouted at the man to get on his stomach, before he said he can’t get up, the footage showed.

Then Sutherland was tasered and pepper-sprayed several times by the officers and can be heard in the footage screaming in pain. 

One of the officers placed his knee on Sutherland’s back for more than two minutes, and the Black man can be heard saying “I can’t breathe.” Sutherland was pronounced dead after an hour of this incident.
