[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Edward Bronstein, 38, died March 31, 2020 in Pasadena less than two months before George Floyd died in Minneapolis
No riots and marches for him. But he was just a white man panicking because he was afraid of needles, not a black man dying after once again taking an overdose of illegal drugs.
- Footage of his final moments was released by LA cops on Wednesday after his family sued to see the harrowing video
- He was pulled over for suspicion of drunk driving and police were forcing him to give blood for a sobriety test
- His family sued for excessive use of force and violation of his civil rights
- Daughter Brianna Palomino said her father 'was treated like trash' and did not deserve to die the way he did
- Video shows Bronstein being forced onto a mat in the police station's garage while handcuffed then five officer kneel on his back as they extract blood
- He screams 'I can't breathe' 11 times before he eventually falls silent
- The California Highway Patrol fought the release of the video tape, but a federal judge ordered them to do so
- Criminal justice experts say the tape shows a callous disregard for human life
