This bodycam footage shows the procedural aftermath of the violent arrest of Waffle House attack suspect Yokeen Lunford. After being physically subdued by Albuquerque police, an officer explains the department's policy on documenting injuries, leading Lunford to completely deny that a struggle ever happened. Following the chaotic physical arrest, an officer calmly informs Lunford about the next step in the process: "We have to take photos of you because of what happened between me and you." This statement introduces the standard police procedure required after any use-of-force incident. In a last-ditch effort, Lunford attempts to plead his case, hoping to be released by explaining his plans to leave the state: "Look bro, I'm leaving the state here at the end of this month, bro. I ain't trying to go through all of this, bro." The officer quickly dismisses this plea and confirms the finality of the situation. "Okay. Well, unfortunately you are under arrest. You're not getting out of this," he states, before formally explaining the policy: "...per our policy, we have to give you an opportunity to take photos of any injuries that you may or may not have." In a stunning contradiction to the preceding events, Lunford completely downplays the physical confrontation he just had with officers. "Ain't no struggle, bro," he claims. The officer's skeptical response, "Right, okay," highlights the stark difference between the suspect's new story and the recorded reality of the arrest. This conversation was recorded on January 21, 2025, after Yokeen Lunford was taken into custody following a police pursuit and a physical struggle where he allegedly resisted officers and attempted to disarm one. This video provides valuable insight into the crucial procedures that follow a use-of-force arrest and demonstrates the common shift in a suspect's behavior from active resistance to downplaying the event once securely in custody. #policebodycam #bodycam #policearrest #lawenforcement
