52-year-old Irondale man, Phillip Reeder, was found wandering the highway, most likely under the influence, when police were dispatched to the scene on August 6, 2024. Body cam video of Reeder's death has not been released publicly, but his wife, Sandra Lee Reeder, and her attorneys said they reviewed it last week. Sandra said the footage shows her husband running from police when they arrived. Police then shocked Reeder with a Taser, placed him in handcuffs and laid him on his stomach, she said. One officer put his knee on Reeder’s neck for over three minutes, she said. Reeder was unresponsive when the officer rolled him over onto his back, according to the coroner's report. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital just after 6:30 a.m. Read the full story at the 🔗 link in our bio ⬆⬆⬆. #YourTownYourNews #WVUA23 #AlabamaNews #PhillipReeder #PoliceBrutality #AlabamaArrest #Birmingham #BirminghamCrime
