Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

NC Police Bodycam Shows Cops Tasering Unarmed Black Man with Heart Problems Before Death

HeadlineFeb 13, 2023

In North Carolina, newly released police body-camera video shows Darryl Tyree Williams, an unarmed 32-year-old Black man, warning he had heart problems after a group of Raleigh officers repeatedly used a Taser on him until he lost consciousness. Williams is heard telling officers, “I’ve got heart problems. … Please! Please!” Despite the appeal, officers tased Williams a third time. He died about an hour after his violent arrest on January 17. Six officers have been placed on administrative leave while the Raleigh Police Department carries out an investigation. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation is also conducting its own probe.
