Pastor says Dash Cam Video Critical for Transparency
January 4th, 2016 by Mike Vasilinda
A Tallahassee pastor is calling for calm as the public awaits dash cam video of a panhandle woman who died as police escorted her from a rural hospital just before Christmas. The City of Blountstown’s Police Chief has given the video to the city attorney who is waiting for Barbara Dawson’s family attorneys to pick it up. Reverend RB Holmes of Tallahassee says the video is important to understand what happened.
“I think it’s very important as it relates to transparency. My involvement is to make sure that we maintain peace. That we find the truth in this situation. And the chief has been above board on this” Holmes told reporters.
57 Year old Dawson collapsed as police escorted her from the Calhoun-Liberty hospital which she refused to leave because she said she was not feeling well. An autopsy showed she died from a blood clot in her lung.
