Keishon Thomas: Milwaukee police release video of 2022 in-custody death

In April of 2022, the Milwaukee Police Department released two edited videos of the in-custody death of Keishon Thomas, as well as a shooting in the lobby of District 5.
The first incident happened on Feb. 23. Thomas was pulled over by police near 22nd and Capitol for a traffic violation around 1:55 a.m. There was a warrant for him tied to other traffic violations, so he was arrested and taken to District 5.
District 5 bookers conducted multiple cell checks, but shortly before 6 p.m., Thomas was found unresponsive. Despite life-saving measures, Thomas was pronounced dead, police said.

Dude killed himself by eating the evidence, plain and simple. I'm sure that he didn't intend to kill himself, that was an accidental OD and it's a tragedy. My condolences for his loved ones.

The sad truth, NO ONE wants to discuss the genuine concern the officers showed. This story won’t make CNN, because the cops did their job. They are only interested if the cops didn’t do their job, ESPECIALLY if it’s a white cop and black individual that’s detained. That sad truth that’s the society we live in today. I’m a federal defense attorney, and in 27 years I’ve never seen the media be this bad. National media will only report news, if it benefits the political party they belong.

And this is why many states now have "good samaritan" laws! Back in the 80's I was driving truck and stopped to help a young man out who had a flat tire on a busy highway. I'm a giant of a guy (literally), so when this young man just randomly stepped OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC when I grabbed him by the upper arm and pulled him back into the breakdown lane I accidentally dislocated his shoulder... I felt bad, but it happened so fast! Just a blur and to this day I have no idea how I reacted so fast! But I thought even a dislocated shoulder was better then being hit by a Mack truck doing 70 down the interstate fully loaded because you had a brain cramp and evidentially forgot where you were! But no! the guy tried to sue me for his hospital bills trying to blame me for his stupidity! To make a long story short, I got the best lawyer money could buy and counter sued for Time lost, Legal costs and Mental Stress, and everything else my lawyer could possibly find to tack onto the bill. Long story short it ended up being one of the shortest cases in world history (I exaggerate a tad) but, no the kid lost big time and I'm not sure if he EVER finished paying my lawyer fees off, but he did pay me for my lost time and mental stress which cost him more than his hospital bills did at the time! Hope he learned a good lesson about greed and stupidity but I doubt it, you can't fix stupid. But the point is there is ONLY one reason these parents would sue the police if the police are being honest about what happened and that is greed! I mean if the police had FORCED this man to go to the hospital and get blood tests they would have sued over that too! I hate the current state of affairs with what is going on with American cops but fairness and honesty must be placed first and foremost at all times, and this was on this young mans head alone, as long as the cops did all their cell checks on time then they did all they could.

But then when you’re under the influence they let you CHOOSE if you want to go or not?? How does that make sense? If you said “I wanna KMS” they would baker act you.

Let me make this clear - he was reckless and irresponsible and he denied medical attention, most likely because he felt very well at the time and had consumed drugs before without incident. Not an excuse just an observation. The department knowing they had a suspect that consumed a lot of drugs should've done more frequent checks than that, he was dead for such a long time that you cannot completely exonerate the department for not taking all apprioate precautions just because the individual chose to take large amounts of drugs recklessly. I do hope this incident changes protocol in their department, I can see the officers are concerned people but the best way to handle a situation is prevent it before it happens, which means frequent checks to get him help when he needs it instead of trying to ressitatate him hours after death.

Yep, he's a grown ass man and even signed a waiver saying he didn't need medical attention. The story seems misleading because they say he wasnt checked on for 16 hours yet say there's camera evidence of more frequent checks being done so who knows. At most, someone may be a bit negligent in their duties but they didn't cause his death. Either way, I believe his family will sue to try and squeeze some $$ out of this but I think they might have a tough time convincing a jury to give them anything.

They actually had shown genuine concern and to literally watch how many ran in there I don’t feel anything was done wrong but this is a very sad and unfortunate thing prayers to the young man’s family.

[@Scott100W]

1: A person in custody that tells police he has ingest 'a lot' of drugs should be placed under medical supervision at the least, something which the waiver doesn't prohibit. 2: You are thinking they are showing concern because you're putting yourself in that situation and you would be concerned. That's assuming too much though, it could easily be the case that they just had a morbid curiosity and wanted to see the body (Think, they know that 20 people crowding around the cell cant possibly be helpful to the inmate, yet they do it anyway, they didn't know if he could've been saved or not at that point) It could also just as easily be that they were running out of fear for their own hides if they know they weren't doing checks like they were supposed to. Thing were definitely done wrong.

@@Scott100W The druggo kid ate all the rest of the drugs he had on him, in order to avoid prosecution, and by his OWN actions caused the entire situation to happen. Not only his OD, but the fact that he got caught with the drugs in the first damn place. People that blame police on every possible thing they can, but intentionally overlook the real causes of situations are morons(you).

[@getalife121]

@@Scott100W you can’t force someone to have medical care. It’s against the law, if they clearly state, “ I do not want to go to the hospital.” Your hands are tied. Just like normal people, police officers are prohibited from doing things against others wills. Don’t press your beliefs on others when your not in the situation or much less, uneducated on how proper procedures work or better yet, have a Ill eye of law enforcement.

Agreed. This one video outweighs overwhelming majority of videos, and the suppressed ones that never see the light of day. See how all 12 officers came running to see the show, clogging up the only exit? That means they care! And just because they aren't releasing information, and he did the drugs, and overdosed, in their custodial care, doesn't mean they didn't do the basics of their job and give first aid. And yet people want to say that just because cops are shooting people in the back, beating up handcuffed women, ignoring the laws and the constitution, the other officers all stand behind it, and none are being held accountable; that all cops are bad. Why, because the drug war is immoral? They are doing their job! If you don't like the police state, then get on SCOTUS and change the laws, stop blaming cops for they choose to do. I.M.O this vindicates Philip Brailsford completely. Not that he needed to be vindicated, but the poor man has PTSD from this brutal, and unforgiving profession he retired from at 28 with pension. Back the blue.
