The newly made public video of Edwards’ arrest has enraged the Knoxville community even though she is suffering a stroke. I’m going to die!” can be heard the 60-year-old saying. My airway is blocked. Policemen battle to get her into the vehicle, and one of them cries out, “I beg you!” in a shaky voice.
Edwards had experienced a stroke and used a wheelchair, according to district attorney Charme Allen. On February 4, she took a trip to Knoxville. While on the flight, she had stomach discomfort, and when she arrived, she was brought to the Blount Memorial Hospital.

Distressing The Lisa Edwards Body Camera tape, which was made public, shows her just before she had a stroke while being held by the police. The first police arrived at the hospital at about 8 am, an hour after Lisa was let go, according to the body camera video.
The officer says that the hospital has already released her and wants her gone when the elderly lady claims she suffered a stroke and was unable to move. If Lisa doesn’t leave, the officer threatens to take her to prison and file a trespassing charge against her. Other cops eventually show up there, and they attempt to carry Edwards to the prison transport van.
The woman’s speech has become slurred as she begs for assistance but is unable to enter the side compartment of the vehicle. The cops frequently refer to Edwards as a dead weight and declare that she won’t participate by standing or elevating her feet, making it clear that they are repulsed by her.
The 60-year-old claims to be unable to breathe or stand up, but the cops assure her that she has been medically released and is well. Officers have said many times that they believe Lisa is “playing games” to stay in the hospital. When they were unable to fit the lady in the van, the cops drove her to prison in a cruiser.
Lisa may be seen gasping and wheezing shortly after getting inside the cruiser and slumping backward. She vanished from view and was silent after ten minutes.
Before recognizing the lady had been unconscious, the officer drove for a while. He doesn’t think she’s lying. After a while, Lisa was sent to the Fort Sanders hospital, where she passed on the next day, on February 6.
