    CCTV footage shows Jamal Rutledge being booked at a police station when the officer processing his case suddenly collapses from a heart attack. Rutledge begins shouting and kicking a security door to alert other officers who soon arrive and perform CPR. The teenager and other men will be honoured in a ceremony next week.

    That fact that they would let him out of his cuffs and take a picture with him and hold a ceremony for him probably means he was dealing with a minor offense.

      Unfortunately he hasn’t changed. In 2018 he was charged with a total of 12 offenses that included burglary, grand theft, theft of a firearm and criminal mischief that resulted in damages over $1,000. Then in 2022 he was arrested for burglary again.

      Or he didn't want to take the wrap for the cop dying on the floor in front of him so he figured he better say something??? He didn't seem too concerned. Yeah he kicked the door to get attention but didn't seem to be phased that the cop had a medical emergency, IMO.

      Exactly, you didn't hear this because he was black and what he did was positive. The system doesn't want positive images of young black men , who they falsely accuse and arrest on a daily basis. Same reason why black history isn't taught across America schools.
