As he’s walking down the street with his bike, he begins to engage in a back-and-forth argument with the officer. He then turns and walks back towards him as they continue their conversation.

Eventually, the two officers tell him to turn around and put his hands behind his back. The suspect appears to obey orders.

“Don’t fight,” the officer tells the suspect as he then tries to handcuff him.

“Ain’t nobody fighting,” the man responds.

The officer then appears to unleash a flurry of punches on the suspect and screaming expletives while his partner calls for backup.

At one point he asks his partner to tase the suspect, which she does not do.

When two other officers arrive on scene and help to handcuff the suspect, the officer yells, “you grabbed my hand.”

When a woman from a nearby residence says, “Guys, he’s the most friendly guy, alright?” the officer responds to her, “get inside…he f—— attacked me.”

The officer did not immediately turn his body camera when he arrived on scene, Moore confirmed. Furthermore, during the fight itself, his camera falls to the ground and does not capture any video of the attack.

It’s his partner’s body camera which captures the crux of the encounter.
