A Tennessee man with asthma died after being hogtied and placed facedown on a stretcher by police following a Widespread Panic concert in Mississippi.

"A witness heard him tell police that he could not breathe," Memphis attorney Tim Edwards told The Huffington Post on Monday.

Edwards is representing the family of the dead man, whom he identified as Troy Goode, a 30-year-old chemical engineer and married father of one from Cordova, Tennessee.

According to Edwards, Goode and his wife attended a Saturday concert in Southaven, Mississippi. The couple was driving away from the concert venue when Goode exited the vehicle near a local shopping center.

The saddest fact is that bystanders called this case, having been recorded saying "Record this just in case he dies"

1. "I can't breathe" where have we heard this before?

Say his name. Eric Garner.

3. WTF is "Ashema"?

I'm a hypochondriac and I wanna know if I have it or not.

5. Yes, but

if we can fix the police violence against non-white races then by default we will eliminate violence against Caucasians.

6. Blanks are 21 times more likely to be shot even though they carry less weapons

9. Cops still kill white guys, too. It's not just a problem of racism.
