In a press release issued by the attorneys on Saturday, they claim the unedited videos show a different perspective from that night and that 39-year-old was “vulnerable, unarmed, naked, undergoing a mental health crisis, and never threatened the officers either verbally or physically.“
"I need someone to come. My son is having some sort of episode," Gladys could be heard telling the 911 dispatcher during a recording of the call from that night."My son is having a psychosis," Herman Whitfield Jr. is heard on police body camera video telling the officers."You guys should have called an ambulance."Six officers were placed on administrative leave following the incident.
"The officer deployed his electronic control device, more commonly known as a Taser," IMPD said in the April 25 news release."The officer activated the Taser twice. The man continued to resist after the deployment of the Taser." On June 28, IMPD released a 14-minute Critical Incident Video of the incident at Whitfield's home that included recorded 911 calls and video from cameras worn by officers. The video, edited by a third-party vendor, was posted on You Tube.
