Autistic Teen Allegedly Killed by Cops: Sit on him for 9 minutes during ...
Donna Lou and Daren Parsa have filed a lawsuit against the Jefferson Parish Sheriff in Louisiana over an incident last January that left 16-year-old Eric Parsa dead, which the parents allege happened because deputies on the scene sat on him for 9 minutes.
The lawsuit claims on January 19, 2020, Eric and his family were leaving a laser tag facility at a shopping center, when for some reason he started attacking his dad in what his parents describe as a “meltdown” related to his condition.

Eric’s parents allege one deputy placed all his body weight onto the kid in the face-down position for nearly 10 minutes, and that at one point, another deputy reportedly put him into a chokehold, and never once moved him on his side so he could breathe properly.
The lawsuit claims it was only when Eric’s body went limp and he urinated himself that deputies turned him over, but it was too late. Eric was taken to a hospital, where he went into cardiac arrest and died. The family says the cops used unreasonable and excessive force that directly caused Eric’s death.
The altercation was captured on surveillance video from far away, so it’s difficult to make out exactly what happens on camera. There was clearly a tussle that went on for several minutes.
