The family of  Darren Boykin Jr. was not told the truth about what happened  from the information we was giving by Texarkana Texas  Police Dept. We were told that our son, a  father, and friend died from Sickle Cell Traits , when in fact his life ended tragically at the hands of Texarkana Texas Police.  “deliberately chose not to provide medical care.” they had the duty and ability to call for medical assistance, but did not, and that Boykin died because of their “deliberate indifference.”
while my son was  in your custody. My family was denied the truth for nearly two years.

As the body camera footage clearly shows, My son  Darren Boykin  Jr, Pleading for Help as he was sufferings from a medical emergency.

 officers Jerrika Weaver and Brent Hobbs, and their supervisor during the arrest, Sgt. William Scott, knew that my son  was unable breathe and had asked for help, but they “deliberately chose not to provide my son with  medical care.” they had the duty and ability to call for medical assistance, but did not, and my son died because of their “deliberate indifference.”
 
“It was clear that this wasn’t just someone who happened to die. It was someone who was complaining that they were in distress, that they needed help and they were in a situation where they couldn’t provide themselves with that care,” 
A police department spokesman, Shawn Vaughn, said the department couldn’t comment on pending litigation.  Please watch the video and help me get Justice for my son by signing the petition this has to stop.

“If they would have just gotten oxygen for him, either by calling 911 straight to the scene or even driving straight to the hospital, then I believe his life would have been saved,” .
