TL;DR Summary

A surveillance video from a Virginia psychiatric facility shows seven sheriff's deputies and three hospital employees piling on top of a shackled 28-year-old Black man for about 11 minutes until he stopped moving. A grand jury issued indictments on charges of second-degree murder against the 10 people who were charged last week in the March 6 death of Irvo Otieno. The disturbing video shows Henrico County Sheriff's deputies dragging a handcuffed and shirtless Otieno into a largely empty room at Central State Hospital with several small tables, and placing him on some sort of seat, with a timestamp of 4:19 p.m.
