7 Officers, 1 Nurse Charged with Manslaughter over Fatal 2020 L.A. Traffic Stop
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Los Angeles, seven California Highway Patrol officers and one nurse
were charged Wednesday with involuntary manslaughter over the 2020 death
of 38-year-old Edward Bronstein. Bronstein was detained during a traffic
stop and violently pinned down at a Highway Patrol station in order to
draw a blood sample, despite Bronstein saying multiple times he would
give the sample voluntarily and screaming "I can't breathe" 12 times.
