Chippewa Falls Police on Wednesday released squad car video of a Nov. 30 traffic stop in which Casey E. Kressin died after the vehicle he was riding in was pulled over by police for speeding and failing to stop at a red traffic light. The nearly 11-minute video shows a patrol officer at 2:05 a.m. catching up to a speeding vehicle on Highway 29 at Chippewa County Boulevard. The black-and-white video shows that after the officer pulls up behind the stopped car, Kressin exited the vehicle and waved at the officer. He then kneels to the pavement. Driver Leah Hryniewicki is hysterical. “He can’t breathe!” she shouts. “He’s having an asthma attack!” She added: “He’s going to die! This has happened before.” Hryniewicki goes on to say that Kressin, 29, had been using a nebulizer to breathe.
