DEMOTTE, Ind. — Loved ones gathered on Sunday to remember the northwest Indiana man who later died after officers handcuffed and restrained him during a medical emergency earlier this month.Relatives for 26-year-old Rhyker Earl were demanding answers as they paid tribute to the father of two following an incident involving police that they say shouldn't have escalated the way it did.
The footage was recently released as part of a Jasper County Sheriff's Office investigation where the family says responding officers used excessive force—pinning down Earl as he struggled to breathe. The Jasper County sheriff said that Earl can be seen in the video banging his head on the floor, at which time deputies placed a pillow under his head to prevent him from injuring himself.
