La Mesa police release body-cam video of controversial arrest
Get live updates from Los Angeles Times journalists as they report on protests across the U.S. after the death of George Floyd while in police custody.The video of the incident shows a white officer detaining Johnson. He repeatedly grabs and pushes Johnson, forcing him to sit on a bench and saying Johnson had smacked his hand.As he sits in handcuffs, Johnson expresses frustration, says he had been waiting for a friend and says, “I already know what the issue is. I’m black as out here.
One of the officers who responded to help arrest the man says in the video she understands what he is feeling. Johnson says to the female officer, “I understand that you are being empathetic, and I appreciate that. But you really don’t get it.”Social justice advocate Geneviéve Jones-Wright said at the Wednesday news conference that Johnson’s case is “the epitome of why it is so hard to be black in America.
The La Mesa encounter happened two days after video emerged of a Minnesota police officer with his knee on the neck of a handcuffed black man for several minutes, even as the man, George Floyd, pleaded that he could not breathe. Floyd died, and images of the encounter sparked nationwide protests — and riots— against police treatment of people of color.
