Alabama man's death in police custody ruled a homicide, family demands accountability
The death of unarmed man Phillip Reeder in Alabama, after police kneeled on his neck during an arrest, has been ruled a homicide, with the autopsy citing heart failure linked to restraint and cocaine use. Reeder's family compares his death to George Floyd's, highlighting concerns over police use of force, especially since body camera footage shows Reeder repeatedly saying he can't breathe. The police department denies excessive force, stating Reeder resisted and was under the influence, but the family and their attorneys criticize the handling of the case and call for accountability.
