Troy Goode Died After Being 'Hogtied' by Cops Near Widespread Panic Gig: Lawyer, Saturday night, Troy and Kelli Goode of Memphis headed off to a Widespread Panic show in nearby Southaven, Mississippi. What ought to have been a decent night off for two youthful parents finished with Troy, a 30-year-old chemical architect, cherishing husband and gave daddy of a 15-month-old, being hogtied by the Southaven police, and not long after kicking the bucket in their authority. One of the family's attorneys, Tim Edwards, explained the course of events of occasions to the Huffington Post:
The couple was heading out from the show venue when Goode left the vehicle near a local mall.
"He was intoxicated and his wife was driving," Edwards said. "He was acting erratically and escaped from the car for reasons obscure."
Goode's behavior incited somebody to call the Southaven Police Department. At the point when officers arrived on the scene, Goode allegedly opposed arrest.[… ]
Goode — who, according to Edwards, had asthma and carried an inhaler — was arrested for messy behavior. For reasons not yet clear, Goode was hogtied by officers and placed facedown on a stretcher fitting in with a reacting ambulance, the lawyer said.
Two hours later, the family was told that Goode had kicked the bucket. And how? Indeed, Southaven Police Chief Tom Long initially proposed that Goode was "acting erratically from an alleged LSD overdose," which is fascinating, because individuals really don't bite the dust from LSD overdoses, regardless of the fact that, as has been accounted for in a few outlets, man did some acid that night. Kevin McCormack, another of the family's attorneys, told Wonkette that it's "amazingly premature of the Southaven Police Department to say it was a LSD overdose," considering to what extent it takes for full autopsy and toxicology reports to return. In any case, maybe these Mississippi officers are so experienced with the understood American pandemic of acid-related cop deaths that they can simply tell!
Desoto County D.A. John Champion claimed in a news meeting to have seen a "preliminary report" on the autopsy, sans lab results, from which he reached the determination that "Goode's death was conceivably related to heart or lung related issues." In another write about the same presser, Champion was cited all the more specifically, saying, "Basically, (it was) a type of a heart attack. His heart was racing so heavy." Champion also said he accepts that his preliminary interpretation of the lab without result autopsy report exonerates the arresting officers from charges of police offense, however on the other hand, he also says the cops just restrained Goode with leg irons, when EVERY WITNESS says they hogtied him.
Regardless of the exact cause of death, McCormack told Wonkette, "Everybody realizes that the real story here is the means by which Troy was treated by the police. We have feature of how he was treated. Everybody can see that they hogtied him. They strapped his head down while he was hogtied. It's a shame that the Southaven Police Department isn't concentrating on their officers' utilization of power."
Here's that feature, taken by the child of local attorney David McLaughlin. In it, you can see that the police have hogtied Goode, despite the fact that Mississippi officials are apparently allergic to "hogtie." Maybe they like to consider it "that thing we like to do with our rope." Note that at the 50-second mark, we can see Goode battling, and witnesses say they can hear him screaming, "I can't breathe!" A few moments later, a witness takes note of how deadly white Goode looks, just before the officers on the scene get irritated about how they're being recorded:
And recollect how Goode had asthma? A nearby companion of the family with detailed learning of the episode reports that Kelli Goode attempted in vain to tell the officers that her husband had asthma and required his inhaler, and soon thereafter they allegedly threatened to arrest her. This current source's account also portrays Goode screaming, "I can't breathe!"
A letter sent to Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood, gave to Wonkette by the Goode family's attorneys, states that Kelli Goode was told again that she would be arrested, in the event that she tailed her husband to the hospital, and that Troy Goode's mom was similarly threatened when she contacted the hospital and was advised her child was in "stable condition":

goodeletterAnd then not long after, the family learned that Troy Goode was dead. Golly hmm, wonder on the off chance that some person was attempting to cover some person's ass, the way the family was kept from the hospital and threatened with arrest? Simply ASKING QUESTIONS.
The same letter, looking for a full investigation from the state into all aspects of the case, reveals more insight into what the officers allegedly did at the scene, and would you be astounded to hear tasers may have been included? Just in case you're a moron!

Fun fact about hogtying: It's thought to be an EXTREMELY dangerous practice, one which has been banned by more than a couple of large police departments. Because why?
In 1992, Dr. Donald Reay, the boss medical examiner of King County and Seattle, Wash., distributed a study on pig tying and "positional asphyxia." That's the medical term for suffocation that happens when a restrained subject is made to lie face down, laying mainly on his midsection and abdomen.
Since study was about how hogtying increases the chance of positional asphyxia in overweight individuals, yet you know who ELSE may have inconvenience breathing in restraints like that? Individuals who are amidst asthma attacks, because by definition, those individuals are having inconvenience breathing. Would you be shocked to learn that hogtying is broadly utilized all through Mississippi? No you wouldn't, because you are NOT a dolt.
So did Goode bite the dust at the hospital from a heart attack caused by a "LSD overdose?" Was hogtying a man who may have been enduring an asthma attack at the time POSSIBLY included? Was Goode actually still alive when he reached Baptist Memorial Hospital? We are simply asking inquiries, and we're going to put it all on the line and say the outcomes from the full autopsy and toxicology reports ought to be fascinating. We may have known all the more, however police allegedly meddled with witnesses' attempts to record the occurrence:

And look, yr Wonkette is not a cop-hater. Occasions around the nation the past couple of years have encouraged individuals to go to some great — from "Fuck Tha Police" to "the police can do no wrong, and if individual A hadn't been doing X, the cops wouldn't have had to execute him!" But there do appear to be a few issues out there, with the way SOME of those wearing badges, and SOME unpleasant, appalling, messed up, bad police departments out there handle the natives should be Serving and Protecting. (It's right in their goddamned aphorism!) And it's especially concerning when individuals strangely bite the dust while in the care of police, however the official narrative has a tendency to be that the individual in care probably done it to him or herself. Strange how that continues happening, especially to non-white individuals.
A YouCaring page has been set up to help Kelli Goode and her child going ahead.
So … can we talk about police brutality and stuff now? Alternately is it Too Soon again? We never can make sense of how the timing chips away at thi
