What Happened To Shaquille Dukes?

American man attached to medical equipment arrested by Illinois cops for allegedly stealing it.

An Illinois man was arrested after he was accused of stealing an IV. A security officer saw the man leave a Freeport hospital with an IV and he confronted him.

The video went viral on social media and has the nation talking.

BAD COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS KILLED.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

AGAIN, THAT RUSSIAN-BACKED BLUE LIVES MATTER CROWD WANTS TO JUSTIFY THIS DETAINMENT AS ANOTHER BLACK MAN OVERREACTING AND PLAYING THE "RACE CARD" TO HATE ON COPS. BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT HATING ON COPS. WE JUST NOT GOING TO ALLOW OURSELVES BECOME THE NEXT HASHTAG WHEN WE DIE. 

I AM SICK OF HEARING THIS BULLSHIT.

CONSERVATIVES SAY THAT THERE ARE MORE BLACK CHILDREN LIVING IN SINGLE PARENT HOUSEHOLDS WITHOUT A FATHER.

IT'S FUNNY! WHEN THE POLICE SHOOT AN UNARMED MAN OF COLOR, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE CHILD'S FATHER.

WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO KEEP OUR CHILDREN AND WOMEN OF COLOR SAFE.

WE NEED TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM THESE RACE SOLDIERS WHO BELIEVE THE BADGE IS THEIR WEAPON OF CHOICE.

Shaquille Dukes was walking outside FHN Memorial Hospital on June 9, wearing a hospital gown and was attached to an IV. According to Dukes, he was in the hospital being treated for pneumonia for two days. Dukes said the doctor cleared him to walk outside the hospital just as long as he didn't leave the property.

Dukes and two companions were making their way back to the building when a security guard called them to his car. The guard accused Dukes of stealing the equipment.





Dukes is Black said that he was racially profiled by the white security guards and police. He said that he filed a formal complaint with the city. Freeport city manager Lowell Crow said that he plans to review the videos on social media as well as police footage.

Shaquille Dukes had a seizure after he was placed in the police car.

The hospital did confirm that the security officer was employed for them. However, they said the matter will look at.

Dukes said that once he was arrested, the IV was removed from his arm and his rescue inhaler was seized.

Dukes then got a seizure.

"Eventually while I was being transported, I passed out and had a seizure. When I woke up in the back of the car, I had an asthma attack. I didn't get my inhaler until probably four minute later."
