7:16Now PlayingThe New York Times has obtained video surveillance of a Rikers Island inmate who died as a result of authorities not attending to his medical needs. They ignored him and then when they opened his cell door he collapsed. They allow him to lie on the floor for four minutes before they did anything. He died soon after. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
What should happen to the guards who ignored his pleas? Would you have taken him seriously? Let us know in the comments below.
