Video shows US police piling on man who died at mental hospital

Disturbing video footage released Tuesday shows the death of a 28-year-old Black man as he was being admitted to a US mental hospital, where he was forcibly restrained by as many as 10 police officers and hospital security guards. | ManilaBulletin

Irvo Otieno's March 6 death in Virginia has already drawn murder charges against the officers and guards involved, thrusting the spotlight back on US law enforcement brutality and the treatment of mental health patients in particular.

The edited clip shows the seven officers bringing the shirtless and shoeless Otieno into a room at the hospital on March 6.They place him on the floor and then hold him down at length, the purpose unclear, with one officer laying on him and another apparently pressing his knee to Otieno's head or neck, while up to 10 hospital workers watch, some sometimes helping out.

Otieno was taken by police into custody three days earlier after experiencing a mental health crisis.
