By Infowar Social Networking Coalition--JUST IN: Tennessee Jailers Torture Restrained Inmate Tennessee Jailers Torture Restrained Inmate RUTHERFORD COUNTY, Tennessee -- A newly released video shows detention deputies at Tennessees Rutherford County Jail pepper-spraying a detained individual while he was locked into a restraint chair. The victim, who had been detained on a charge of resisting, put up no visible struggle. An officer identified as Deputy James Vandermeer can be seen inserting pepper spray into the gap in the spit shield, an appliance that covers the victims face. After the shield was removed ten minutes later, the inmate can be seen convulsing and crying for help for an hour and fifteen minutes. He never received medical attention. Vandermeer -- who had previously been fired for a DUI arrest -- claimed in his official report that the inmate had been combative, an assertion contradicted by the video evidence. youtube/watch?v=p2BMHIoAEwE&feature=youtu.be Download your free Next News Heroes & Villains Poster here: nextnewsnetwork/the-2013-heroes-villains-posters LIVE: NextNewsNetwork Facebook: Facebook/NextNewsNet Twitter: Twitter/NextNewsNet Sub: NNN.is/the_new_media Meet the Next News Team: youtu.be/2QnNKwQ2WkY Hashtag: #N3 About: Next News Networks WHDT World News program airs daily at 6pm and 11pm Eastern on Comcast, DirecTV and Over-the-Air and Online at NNN.is/on-WHDT WHDT World News is available to 6 million viewers from South Beach to Sebastian, Florida and to 2 million viewers in Boston, Massachusetts via WHDN.
