Police in Indiana are facing growing calls to release body camera footage related to the death of a northwest Indiana man.
The family of 26-year-old Rhyker Earl, represented by civil rights attorney Ben Crump, said Earl's fatal encounter with officers occurred during a medical emergency.On Sept. 8, Earl's grandmother called police after he suffered his second seizure of the day. Earl, who had been diagnosed with epilepsy, became confused and agitated when Jasper County deputies and paramedics arrived at his home in DeMotte.
The sheriff's office said it reviewed body-worn cameras of multiple deputies at the scene that night, which allegedly showed Earl forcefully banging his head on the floor. At that time, deputies reportedly asked the family for a pillow and placed it under Earl's head to prevent him from injuring himself.The sheriff's office said Earl's head was lying on the pillow and his breathing was not restricted.
