The family of Anthony Johnson, who died in Tarrant County jail custody, remembered him Friday during his memorial.
Family and friends said Anthony Ray Johnson, Jr., was a serious man, but was always wearing a big smile.
Shortly after the second officer starts kneeling on Johnson, Johnson can be heard saying,"I can't breathe." The officer remains kneeling for about another minute and a half.Waybourn said Johnson was unresponsive and was moved downstairs to a medical area where attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.
“To me, it’s another bad eye on Tarrant County," said Daryl Washington, the Johnson family attorney. “We just think right now it’s a technicality and these jailers are going to likely be terminated within the next week.” The family also wants a new policy in Johnson's name that requires law enforcement to allow a victim's family to see their incident video within 48 hours of their loved one's death, and release it to the public within 72 hours.
“It was really hard the last few years because he wasn’t always himself. So, there were some conversations that weren’t the best. But he’s always my little brother and I love him to death," Jennings said.
