Denver cops trip pregnant woman face first into pavement as they pound boyfriend’s head [View all]

A witness says that Denver police officers abused a pregnant woman and her boyfriend, and then tried to cover it up by deleting the video from his tablet.
Levi Frasier told KDVR that he was recording as two uniformed officers tried to arrest David Flores, who had been identified by narcotics officers for possessing heroin. An arrest report said that a scuffle had started because Flores had stuffed a white sock in his mouth, which the officers believed was filled with drugs.
KDVR investigative reporter Chris Halsne noted that a close examination of the video showed Flores’ head repeatedly “bouncing off the pavement as a result of the force” of being punched by the officers. In photos that were later taken of Flores in an ambulance, his head could be seen soaked with blood from his injuries.
“I used to cage fight and I’ve never seen punches harder than that,” Frasier explained.
But it was the way that officers treated Flores’ girlfriend, Mayra Lazos-Guerrero, that really shocked Frasier.
As Flores’ was being punched in the head, Lazos-Guerrero, who is 7 months pregnant, can be seen walking up to the scene.
