After Booker's death, a city official asked Wicks if he wanted to make a statement. "I'd just watched them kill a man and sweep it up. As long as I was (in) their custody, I couldn't take the risk," he says.[LINK]
I'm struck by a moment when witnesses say it was obvious that Booker had no pulse, yet an officer started speaking to his limp body, telling him to stop resisting. "All of a sudden, the charade had started and they're pretending he's not dead," Wicks says.
After Booker's body was wheeled away with a towel over his face, the same officer insisted to the crowd that he had a faint pulse.
Video tapes are being withheld. Note - the witnesses clearly understand that video tapes exist. Keep that in mind in case you wish to discount what they report seeing.
