FT. Bliss soldier killed in confinement. What could have been done differently?

3.13K

After watching the disturbing video posted below and more research, I am left with the feeling this could have handled so much better in varying ways. I am left rather speechless and hoping some of the reported details have been contorted. What can the Army as a whole focus on so this never happens again?

Do you think there was excessive force in the death of SGT James Brown?

This is a video of a Soldier that I formally served with in Baghdad 2006-2007 who ended up dying in jail. Essentially turned himself in for a DWI conviction then somewhere things went wrong. I'm not taking any sides, and won't say what I know of him as I would like to see and hear your opinions of the situation first. I will tell you that he was still active duty at the time of his death, and this happened in 2012 and the video was just released yesterday. I am very supportive of law enforcement as well as my brothers and sisters in arms. Yes I have my take on it and apparently it is not a favorite amongst others.
