Martial law declared in Champaign.
The department will have officers on hand to keep people from gathering
in parking lots in the first place.
Congress shall make no law prohibiting free exercise of the right of the
people peacably to assemble.
According to the Champaign city newspaper the News-Gazette, the Daily
Illini, the student newspaper, in a story headlined "Man's death called
'Brutal,'" quoted a graduate student who asked that his name not be
published, according to the story.
Attempts this morning to reach family members quoted in this article were
unsuccesful.
According to the News-Gazette, not a single sentence was succesfully
completed.
According to the Daily Illini, those who completed sentences did so
despite fear of retribution from the police.
It is not yet known whether Gregory Brown died of natural causes while
being physically restrained by fifteen police officers, according to an
empty voice speaking in inverted sentences, as transcribed by an unknown
writer.
Results will not be available until an additional medical review has been
completed.
According to the local restaurant guide, this process could take 6-8
weeks.
It is the process that could take that long, not the people conducting
it.
Champaign Police Chief William Becker, who was not present at the
incident, said the man was still breathing when he was subdued.
No attempt was made to subdue a suspect who was not breathing, he assured
the newspaper.

According to agreements made recently, the seventeen-member SWAT team in
Champaign Illinois, in the event of a chaotic situation, can now rely on
assistance from the SWAT team in Decatur.

"The sound of the guy's voice continued to get a little more hysterical
and he just kept repeating 'I want to go home.'"

Then the officers noticed him changing color. Apparently, he stopped
breathing.
It was the dead man who stopped his breathing, not the police restraining
him.
The police department also released a statement saying that the probable
cause of death was natural disease with stress being a contributing
factor.
Why are you hitting me? Please stop hitting me.
At least one of the officers felt he was in a life-threatening situation.

You could audibly hear a thud when they were striking him.
