Newly released bodycam of New Orleans Pelicans center Jaxson Hayes's arrest shows the 6-foot-11 NBA player repeating that he 'can't breathe'...'
...On Friday, Los Angeles Police Department released the body camera footage of the arrest. It shows a struggling Hayes repeating, 'I can't breathe,' as he's pinned to the ground outside of his home's front door in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Woodland Hills around 3am on July 28.
...The 21-year-old was ultimately booked on a charge of resisting arrest after police responded to a 911 call from a woman claiming to be the cousin of Hayes's girlfriend.
As heard in the 911 call, which was also released on Friday, the woman explains she 'got some disturbing text messages' from her cousin, who wanted police to come to Hayes's home because he was 'getting loud and violent and she's scared...
..."Hayes got increasingly agitated as officers explained that they had the right to enter his home [to check on the girlfriend] while momentarily keeping him outside for a moment."

I will guess that is the first time anybody said he was out of line and went down.
It do happen.
What a POS he is.
Just a medical-science question....if you are on a Fentanyl ‘high’ and get tazed...doesn’t breathing get seriously affected?
Breathing is also affected when strong men take you down.
He is a punk.
he was saying the ‘I can’t breathe’ after tossing the short cop into the wall, and taken down on his back, arms above his head, and before being tazed, so his ribcage was wide open at the time
Police: we received a call that someone may be in danger
Jaxson: well you cant go in my home without a warrant
Police: Ok sir have a nice day
How it works in Jaxson’s mind.
Dramarama.
Why do we even need search warrants for a property when the police can just show up and say we received a phone call that someone could be in danger?
I located an LA Times article that states "Hayes was arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest"
No I did not make that up.
I have stated here many times and this is no exception. ANYTIME the only charge is resisting arrest that is a clear and giant red flag of possible police misconduct. Resisting arrest is literally the most abused charge in existence, so much so that in my opinion anytime resisting arrest is the only charge, it should be immediately thrown out.
In the end the police could only charge him with resisting which is the proof in the pudding. The police had no business stopping this man from entering his home. Yes in this case the NBA player was right. They needed a warrant and did not have one. A supposed phone call is not enough to justify entering this man's home under these circumstances.
did you read the story? the cousin of the girlfriend inside the house, called 911 and said the girlfriend was in danger from the nba boyfriend. The police have every right to enter the house to do a welfare check. Without the man being present. Especially after nba man said the stuff on the front lawn was stuff ‘she threw at me’. Which is a sign of an alteration of some sort. You are wrong and the cops are in the right
ps, if she is living there, it’s her house too not just his house
Cant take the street out of these animals
Chris Rock was speaking about *this* punk when he gave his famous “black people vs niggaz” talk some years ago.
No he didn’t read the story nor does he have any idea what a Welfare check is and how it’s handled, just another blowhard.
Cops can’t just turn and walk away from a potential domestic violence 911 call just because the suspect doesn’t want to comply with the requests of the responding officers........
My lovely X, an attorney, decided that the most profitable way for her to end our relationship was to break things until I stopped her - and then call the cops.
As an attorney, she was SURE she knew the law, and told the cops that over and over. (pro tip, that’s not a good idea.)
I can still see the shock on her face when they put the cuffs on her.
I still miss her sometimes.
A little bit like being arrested for public intoxication when you were a passenger in a car where the driver got arrested and you were too drunk to drive. As a prosecutor, I routinely decline to prosecute these cases.
I especially like that closed caption in green...
*Taser*
You cannot speak if you cannot breathe, so anyone who says, “I can’t breathe” is lying.
