Police say footage shared during the news conference shows Turnure s shin not his knee pinning Hicks shoulder, not his neck.
The footage shows an officer identified by supervisors as Turnure repeatedly shoving snow into Hicks open mouth. Afterward, Hicks says, I really can t breathe.
Hicks did not comply with officers; the footage released during the news conference did not show his initial interaction with police.
Ward 5 Councilwoman Tara Samples called the news conference damage control. The bottom line is, just release the footage, she said Thursday morning, before the press conference was scheduled. The allegations made by Mr. Hicks are deeply disturbing, especially in light of the officer s resignation, Ward 8 Councilman Shammas Malik said Thursday morning. We all need to see the body camera footage immediately.
