For those that didn't see the whole video. Mr. Gonzales asked the officer for direction, then he after peddling a few yards, he was confused about the direction the officer told him, so he went inside a fast food restaurant with his bike and asked them for direction.
The officer followed him, asked him why he was inside the fast food restaurant, Mr. Gonzales replied that he was asking the workers for direction, this upset the officer and he asked Mr. Gonzales "what, you don't trust me"?
Mr. Gonzales replied "I forgot what you told me, I am sorry". Yes, Mr. Gonzales apologized to the officer, the officer can be seen putting on his gloves, this scared Mr. Gonzales, he told the officer "I am sorry, I'll leave" as he was leaving, the officer ran after him, tackled him, punched him, choked him a few times as Mr. Gonzales is screaming and asking what he did wrong.
Not once did the officer told Mr. Gonzales that he was being "detained" nor "place under arrest". Mr. Gonzales got up and ran for his life, the body cam was left behind by the officer as he chased Mr. Gonzales further down an alley and beating him. The officer is still on duty as of today, the taxpayers covered the $9.2 million lawsuit
