But don't trust the news for the real facts
According to a witness who (ARRIVED) after the person was on the ground
being held down. said the man did not try to run away and was only trying to move because he was hurting and she began to film the incident. How could she know he had not been running if she arrived after he was on the ground?..
Officers said he was a runner and that's why he was being held down and it appears the officer was kneeling OVER him and not putting weight on his chest!.
"He tried to run ma'am," the police officer told her.
She told Newsflare: "They did not need to be on top of him like that, especially since he was handcuffed, (he was not handcuffed or had ankle cuffs) put on him until he got up). She said there was more than one officer on the scene for them to be able to sit him down like a true pedestrian being restrained."
As one of the police officers is holding the man down, one of the pedestrians yells, "get off his chest!"
The police officer responds, "I can't do that because he's gonna run away."
One of the police officers began to yell at the filmer and other bystanders, "shut up and get out of here... do you want to go?"
Another woman is seen arriving at the scene yelling at the officers, "all you do is abuse people!"
The filmer told Newsflare that the cops said they had a call for a robbery, and the man fit the description!
