Police Authorities who were associated in the man handling case of an Arizona man, who on video doesn't seem to oppose or assault officers say his non-verbal communication was anticipating that he was getting ready to battle.

A report from the May 23 incident in the Phoenix suburb of Mesa states the man, 33-year-old Robert Johnson, was “verbally defiant and confrontational.”

Mesa police officials discharged the report, alongside recorded film from police-worn cameras, on Wednesday evening after video discharged by Johnson's lawyers flowed for the current week, raising feedback over the treatment of the occurrence.

Tough the attorney of Jhonson , Benjamin Taylor, said his judicial client was not a danger and had just been looked. Johnson was accused of sloppy direct and blocking indictment.

Three officers and a sergeant are on leave while the office researches.

Official authorities were reacting to a call from a lady who said her ex was attempting to break into her loft, police said. Police arrived and found the ex, Erick Reyes, 20, alongside Johnson. Both were confined.

Audio-free surveillance footage from the apartment complex where the incident took place shows Johnson standing against a wall, looking at his phone, while Reyes is sitting on the ground nearby.

The officers have seemed to be approaching Johnson and kept punching him several times. They were pulling him down to the ground and flipped him front and over. The victim did not appear to threatening or resisting the police from their act as he was armless.

“Johnson’s body language was projecting he was preparing for a physical altercation,” one of the officers wrote in the report. “It appeared Johnson was trying not to sit down in order to retain a position of physical advantage by remaining on his feet.”

Will Biascoechea, the president of the police union that represents two of the officers involved, said in a statement that the incident was more complex than what is shown in the video.

The department has been criticized in the past for incidents involving use of force as police departments nationwide have also faced scrutiny. A former Mesa officer who was fired for violating department policy was tried but acquitted on a murder charge in the 2016 fatal shooting of a Texas man who was unarmed and on the ground.
