Officers were dispatched to a business to assist an elderly customer who appeared to be suffering from dementia. At the scene, officers found him extremely confused. He told them the year was 1948 and that the president was George Washington. So they call his daughter to come pick him up. So how did things go so terribly wrong that day, that this 74 year old man ended up dying alone in a jail cell 9 hours later, confined in a restraint chair with a hood over his head? The story of Lester Isbill is one that could happen to anyone. He wasn’t a criminal. He was a good man. He had committed no crime. Yet he would nevertheless fall victim to this terrible death at the hands of the very people who were supposed to protect and care for him.

Arrested for what??
Find sheriff Jones!!!! Do the same. Terrible human. Shocker police and jail are so corrupt. This is unbelievable. This sheriff needs his fucking @&$&@
I would be suing the PANTS off this department, those 2 officers and their medical staff, the county, AND the city. Maybe even the state, too. Everyone who had a hand in his death. If he were MY family. I’d make ‘em ALL fcking pay! Hard!
FUCK that BULLSHIT these so call cops need to do way fuckin BETTER
The real question is why the fuck were officers the first responders?
We need real accountability for that man and his family.
That has to be the most insane video that you have ever posted. Thank you for allowing this country to see what average humans can do to a person. Everyone of them people that were standing around that man should be fired and never allowed to work for any law enforcement agency or anything to do in public service. Why wouldn’t you get the man to a hospital immediately and these are the things that happen when you have heartless bastards trying to control someone. I answer to no man or woman in this world. I hope that these clowns are fired and charged with killing that poor old man. That could’ve been anyone’s father. Sickening!!
Any and everyone on duty that day, who had anything to do with this tragedy should be fired, charged, and prosecuted including what the victim endured at the hands of these incompetent animals. 😢
Why was he not taken to the hospital for evaluation? Sad to know the acceptance of utter stupidity is more accepted over God Given Common Sense.
The main problem here is the cops should have never been called when the cops show up usually someone is going to jail. EMS should have been called they would have handled the situation better and this man would not be dead today.
He should have been taken to the hospital
Seems like the police killed the guy
Typical cops. The best people don't become police officers these days. The only ones who join are the guys who can't hack it as busboys.
Hunt down everyone involved. Unfucking believable. I mean who is in charge. Fire everyone in the system. Wow.
That family deserves billions!
Things like this happen all over the country but that blue wall is stronger than ever. Everyone one of them took part in that murder.
Sone sick bastard stole his pants.
They deserve to PAY any consequences brought to them. They sure NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED only trained a lil in law. Bless this family.
You hear the cops say you're under arrest
JUSTICE FOR LESTER!!
Imagine the survivors guilt of the person who called the cops
I would cross states to March behind this. I cannot believe that poor man went through that. It could have happened to any of our families 💔
This is why nobody calls the police and nobody trusts them
Wow this is horrible! I hope they get hit so hard in a lawsuit they think twice about making that decision again
That’s horrible! I hope his daughter wins lawsuit. It won’t bring her dad back but maybe they’ll learn how to treat people.
What a bunch of heroes
Totally disgusted sick and evil
I would only call the police if I wanted somebody dead, which I don't.
wow unbelievable…
Under arrest for what? WTF?!?!
WHERE THE HELL WAS THE. DAUGHTER? SHE WALK AWAY WITHOUT CHECKING ON HIM ALSO NOW THEY ARE CONCERNED👈 SHAME 🤔🙄🤷♂️😪💯✅️
Oh my. 😢
Possible diabetic? Why wouldn’t you take him to a hospital?
Can you imagine all these people that watch this video and read this comment, can you imagine that being your father, just be honest with yourself before you lay down tonight, can you imagine that's your father, he's having a medical breakdown, the people that here's the thing I keep telling y'all. These county, jail officials, these police officers, which it seems to me. Why would they put him in handcuffs if he hasn't broken the law? And the one officer said, now when his daughter left the office, say, okay, you under arrest under arrest for what? What law did this man break and then you have no compassion. No empathy, you have no education. Can you imagine how scared this old man was of being in a room with a black hood over his face can't breathe, can't move, cause he's in a restraining chair for 9 hours. For listen to me, y'all, this s*** is getting out of control, they're leaving the black. Neighborhoods and coming into the white neighborhoods and doing the same thing they've been doing the black people, it's unacceptable. This is an old man y'all. It's unacceptable the app. I'm praying for this old man's soul to go up there with God 'cause this is unacceptable. And then here's the thing these agencies are OK with paying a family a million dollars $2 million5 meter $, but nothing is coming out of their pockets. The one that murdered him, that was a murder bro. That was a torture to an old a** man with mental problems. How can our society accept this type of behavior on our citizens, senior citizens? It hurts my heart to the core of my heart that this man died. The way he did, it's really unacceptable. Y'all and I feel sorry for his family. His daughter look how she feels. I wonder how she feels she left them in the care of police officers that she thought were good people. They're not good people. They will kill your father. They will kill your mother and they will go home to their loved ones and sleep. Real good. This is unacceptable. It should be in our society where you have a group of high school graduates that's in the care or in a position to care for elderly young people, teenagers, whatever middle age, and they don't give a f**** f*** about your mother, your father, your aunt, your brother, your child, but they put them in a place. And the police chief said, oh mark officers did everything right? So let's say your father was in the same situation, the police chief is saying to the public. What this is how we do things you all you y'all either like it or you don't like it f**** sue us the taxpayer is going to pay it and we're going to go head on and do the same thing to the next person, this is unacceptable. It's unacceptable, you have uneducated people in positions that it's okay to murder people. That's an old man, I feel sorry for his family sue the s*** out of get as much as you can put a plaque up. Protest, all that s**, man, it's unacceptable what they did to this man. It hurts my heart that people think it's okay. The people in power think it's okay. I know that lady is so f***** mad at herself. For not taking her father home with her, I know she grieving cause that's her father, I don't care what she says or what not what she says, but okay, they're going to take you and get you some help. 9 hours later, he dead strapped up to a m********** torture chair that's torture. Put a bag over his face, a heavy f**** bag that you can't breathe. They tortured him, he died, trying to breathe or whatever happened to him. Whatever it was he's dead now and all the police chief saying is my officers did the right thing put him in a chair for 9 hours. They did the right thing. F*** your mother, f*** your brother, f*** that we're getting paid anyway, and you gonna pay our salary for killing your dad? It's unacceptable.
That is Fu€ked I hope his daughter wins the case because that's wrong
They all need to rot in a jail sale
Everyone involved in that needs to go to jail for a very long time
Terrible
