“Comply with the police and stop being a wise a$$”

There’s a 3 hour video of the entire event from the time McClain purchased food while dressed for the cool late night Colorado weather. McClain was anemic, low body weight and was often cold. The 911 caller said that McClain had done nothing wrong but he looked suspicious wearing a mask. The police are dispatched and the video picks up from various police body cams.

McClain is seen walking with his grocies on the sidewalk holding his cellphone which is playing music. The video shows 3 officers run up to him saying “stop right there”. McClain lifts his phone to turn down the volume as the police office grabs his right arm which is holding the phone. McClain is heard saying “you have no right to stop me” “I was just turning down my music so I could hear you”. I guess this “wise a$$” has just earned a death sentence.

The officer later states that when he grabbed McClain “he tensed up and I told him to relax or I’m going to have to change this situation”. In the video McClain is complying and says “let go of me”. The office says “No, stop tensing up”. McClain says “I am an introvert, respect the boundaries I’m speaking”. “I was turning my music down so I could hear you.” They force him to the ground and repeatedly say “relax”, “stop dude”. You don’t see him but you hear him grunting as the police call in backup “Send more units, we’re fighting him!”. You can hear McCain sobbing as they cuff him. Begging them to stop, “I can’t breathe” and apologizing for not having an I.D. He tells them his full name and continues to beg them to stop while sobbing and struggling to breath. I guess struggling to breathe is also resisting arrest and being a wise a$$.

McClain was facing 5 years in prison and he knew it. Like most poor blacks know first-hand that when the police ask for backup the police also bring with them an a$$ whopping. The police supervisor is seen waving his arms around asking if McClain had done any other than being suspicious? The entire block is lit up with squad cars. A female cop calls the 911 caller back to ask what happened? The guy said McClain did nothing wrong but looked suspicious. The female cop and another cop look around and say “I think we have enough police on this call” and laugh.

It’s painfully obvious that McClain is a troubled young man as he lays on the ground sobbing and telling the police he’s not a bad person and that he just wanted to go home. You here the police talking about McClain going for an officer’s gun. You hear McClain say sorry I was just moving my arm so I could breathe as they talk about the charges they’re going to pin on him. You don’t see McClain but you hear a cop tell him as nothing seems to be going on that “if you keep messing around I’m going to bring my dog over here”. McClain responds struggling to say I can’t breathe”. The officers keep saying “stop fighting us” as McClain shifts around to breathe. Keep in mind there’s no noise of a struggle. The police are casually talking to other officers on the scene about the moves they put on him. A hammer lock and maybe they should put a figure 4 on him now. The female officer is heard saying “he just had a mask on and that’s it”
