In this image from Altoona Police Department body-camera video, Demetrio Jackson is placed on a gurney after paramedics administered an injection of the sedative ketamine in a parking lot on the border of Altoona and Eau Claire, Wis., on Oct. 8, 2021. Later, Jackson stopped breathing on the way to Sacred Heart Hospital. He’d suffered cardiac arrest and had no brain function. (Altoona Police Department via AP)

Demetrio Jackson was desperate for medical help when the paramedics arrived.

The 43-year-old was surrounded by police who arrested him after responding to a trespassing call in a Wisconsin parking lot. Officers had shocked him with a Taser and pinned him as he pleaded that he couldn’t breathe. Now he sat on the ground with hands cuffed behind his back and took in oxygen through a mask.
