The death of a 22-year-old African-American man shortly after a struggle with police last week has been ruled a homicide. An initial autopsy found significant traumatic injuries to the soft tissue of Robinson's neck, said Jefferson Parish Coroner Dr. Gerry Cvitanovich, who cautioned that the results from the autopsy, which was conducted Saturday, are preliminary and more tests need to be conducted. Cvitanovich said the findings are consistent with compressional asphyxia, which will likely be cause of death at the end of the process. The four detectives involved in the arrest were read their rights and have given statements, Lopinto said. They are being reassigned to administrative duty pending the outcome of the investigation, the sheriff's said.
The young man should not have died. The people who are supposed to be "protecting our country" should not be the cause of lives being ended. their job is to keep people safe and they need to be taught to think before killing someone especially before the person has tried to harm them first.
