    The family of Johnny Holloman finally viewed the body cam video, which shows the church deacon in APD custody during the last few minutes of his life.    
    The family says after viewing the video, they now know Mr. Hollomon did not resist arrest, but rather asked for a supervisor and begged for his life. The family openly wept and declined to comment on what they saw.    
    “This was… as long as I have been doing this… the most senseless arrest I have ever seen. He was killed over a ticket,” attorney Mawuli Davis said, as he fought back tears.    
    Hollomon’s family was in disbelief after watching the 62-year-old church deacon take his last breath while in police custody.
