A Knox County deputy is now being investigated after he fatally assaulted 33-year old David Dehmann on April 21. Dehmann was autistic and had Tourette’s Syndrome, and this was well-known by the local law enforcement.

Mount Vernon police picked up Dehmann on the 21st for being intoxicated but was released within a couple hours after being cleared by a hospital for release. At 7:43pm that same day, he was arrested near a public school for disorderly conduct – harm to self, at which point he was taken to Knox County Jail by MVPD Cpl. Travis Tharp when things took a turn for the worse....

As Dehmann is walking past the officers, either drunkenly or playfully, he points his finger at them; never making actual physical contact. When he gets to deputy Wright, he points just like he did to the first, but he is swiftly met with physical retaliation. His hand is slapped and deputy Wright proceeds to slam the autistic and impaired Dehmann to the ground with so much force that when his head hit, it killed him.

Prior to the body slam, Dehmann can be seen with his arm up in what seems to be some sort of physical move. However, his fist is not closed and is fingers are out. He was obviously not trying to punch nor was he in any capacity to cause harm to Wright.

1. If cops continue to get away with murder, popular justice is going to happen.

[PowerToThePeople]

24. I wish this happened more often.

[Faux pas]

2. It so easy

to victimize the infirm, young, old and broke. Disgusting for sure.

3. If police really want respect they better start acting respectably. n/t

10. You're right, of course.

That's why my head is glad it votes anti-DP, and it's why my heart is glad it's not in charge of policy.

6. 84% bad cops give

the 14% of good ones a bad name.

So, you don't think the % of bad cops is that high. That is about the number of cops that give or accept a "professional courtesy" another word for corruption. Cover for another cop or use their badge to get out of trouble. It is a violation of the law, their oath of office and a violation of the Constitution. It is the beginning of the "blue line" and further corruption.

Go ahead and ask any cop if he or she has ever used the term "professional courtesy".

8. Only investigated because of video going public

21. They sure do take their time with a person suffering from a head injury.

Pig just leaning up against the wall, hovering over a body still warm and still alive just 10 minutes ago. The way cops act, when they don't realize they are on camera, is horrifying. Their lack of concern over human life should be very disturbing to anyone with a brain.

9. Cleared by grandjury on July.free to murder

[Spitfire of ATJ]

11. Judges routinely refuse to excuse an act of violence from the public no matter the provocation....

Cops need to be held to that standard.

[grahampuba]

12. surprise.

its the one that looks like he eats roids for breakfast, lunch and dinner..
the ever vigilant warrior cop.

so bad, so hard, but such a fragile ego that he couldnt weather a finger pointed at him.

soon come.

[valerief]

13. I'm sure the offending officer will be severely punished with an extended paid vacation

and a promotion when he returns. Cuz that's how police states roll. The vicious get rewarded.

[CanonRay]

14. Has the cop been tested for steroids?

Bet not.

[panader0]

15. Disgusting.

[Rex]

16. It seems there is a lot of loathing and pent up rage inside cops these days.

Why would you smash a persons head into the ground with such force as to be lethal? What kind of animal does that to another animal? I don't even think baser animals do things like this. Just pigs with guns.

What is it with cops? They seem to have this love affair for pigs with guns and cannot turn them away, fire them or HEAVEN FORBID punish them for murdering innocent people.

Shame really, cops only have themselves to blame for loving pigs so much. They can cut the cord at any time.

18. What's not to like if you're a psycho?

[Rex]

20. Oh sure, if you are a psycho having a gun and the law on your side

is only next to being the CEO of a huge Wall Street corporation. Nah, probably still tops it considering you can crush another man's skull in public...and since you are THAT BAD ASS...probably get a promotion to the SWAT team!

29. This culture breeds macho assholes who worship hyper-masculinity and

try to compensate for their own insecurities with violence. Then a large chunk of these men (yes, almost always men) are attracted to things like the police force and the military.

17. Gangsters with badges

[Enthusiast]

19. This is how it starts. Small acts of cruelty become big acts of cruelty. Bad words become bad deeds.

Nazi Germany didn't start with gas chambers. The gas chambers were the end of a long process of escalating abuse and cruelty. There was an end of the politically correct. Bad speech directed toward scapegoat Jews, Gypsies, the political left, the physically and mentally disabled. Eventually bad speech became systematic killing or disposing of what the Nazi thought of as a burden on society.

27. Those who don't remember history are doomed to repeat it, sadly

[frylock]

22. fuck tha police

[polly7]

23. OMG

He did nothing to deserve any physical punishment at all. Horrible! And once again, they take the time to put cuffs on a dead or dying man, not to mention how long it took to get medical help.

Sickening.

[stage left]

25. I don't think

I can watch the video. Somehow this needs to stop.

[Stargazer99]

28. yester day I posted that if those in controll of our governments do not start

to clean up the police departments in this country...respect for the law will be diminished and that can lead to chaos in society
The two posters who responded suggested I should have posted my comment in another forum and another suggested I needed to be otherwise occupied than by this. Anyone with a brain can put two and two together and see what could result from a lack of respect for authority formed by the people.

30. The title says the victim's head was "slammed to the ground" . . .

when it was really a hard interior floor. We see cops pulling this move quite often now that video cameras abound.

My point, and it's admittedly off-topic, this is what happens when a human head is slammed onto a hard surface like we saw in that video.

Yesterday there was a george zimmerman thread. Remember that killer's story was that Trayvon Martin bashed his head onto hard concrete 15-20 times. This video itself proves that that was nothing but lies as just having his head slammed one time onto the hard floor killed the autistic man.

Yet Superman zimmerman however was able to withstand the multiple head bashings, shoot Martin, cook up a story while waiting for the cops and then calmly walk unassisted into the police station without even being concussed.

What a miracle .

[workinclasszero]

31. And whats going to happen to this killer cop?

Why nothing of course. He will be free to kill again, which I bet he will sooner or later.
