When Romero grabs him from behind and slams him to the ground. >> Oh god. >> There was no reason in my opinion for him to go to the ground with such force. He was already controlled. >> But the most shocking new detail comes from the 911 dispatcher. According to the DPS report, she told investigators Romero asked her where Lopez was being arrested. And moments before walking out of the police station, Romero said, "I'm going to see if I can go some up." Before this violent arrest even happened, the officer said something that never showed up on body cam. According to an Arizona DPS report, former police Lieutenant John Romero told a dispatcher he wanted to [ __ ] some up before responding to the call. Minutes later, the suspect was on the ground unconscious with a severe head injury. Another officer told investigators the man was already handcuffed in compliant. The officer later claimed it was an accident. But when force is anticipated before contact, it raises a serious question about credibility, intent, and whether that force was ever reasonable. Body cam shows what happened. The paperwork explains why. Thin blue lies, baby.
