'He was just a wonderful overall young man,' Herman Whitfield Jr. said as he described his son. IMPD has released edited body camera video but not the full, unedited video.
INDIANAPOLIS — On Friday, the parents of Herman Whitfield III joined leaders from Faith in Indiana gathered at City Marker for a rally.
"He was held face down three or four minutes after saying repeatedly that he couldn't breathe ... just totally unnecessary, he wasn't a threat at all," Whitfield Jr. said."All he was doing is just walking around in his own house peacefully."He was just a wonderful overall young man," Whitfield said."The world just lost a great gift."
Whitfield Jr. joined Faith in Indiana in their call to have a 24/7 crisis intervention team. Currently, there are Mobile Crisis Assistance Teams, which are a specialized unit that pairs a specially trained officer and a clinician for mental health related calls, but they do not work 24/7 After the release of the video, the Whitfield family called for full transparency and demanded that IMPD release all bodycam videos from that night.
