Just now, my neighbor was having a mental break. He was screaming and angry about something. The police arrive, and he yells at them. He tells them to leave him alone and walks away from them. The police raised what I'm assuming was their taser guns, and held him at gunpoint. (1)

He screams "why are you harassing me, I haven't done anything wrong!"

He eventually tells them he did nothing wrong (true), he's on his property (also true) and tells them he's leaving. He walks away, up his steps, and one of the police officers shoots. (2)

One pop goes off and he crumples to the ground. The police grab him, lay him on the driveway and lay on him as they put him in handcuffs. EMTs arrive and "help subdue" him. He screams a couple times for the cop to get off of his head because he can't breathe. The cop moves. (3)

He counts the number of people around him crying, "You need mine people? For what? I did nothing wrong!"

He keeps repeating that he did nothing wrong, asking them why they stopped him, why are they arresting him? At one point an EMT responds, "You're acting irrationally." (4)

He's now in an ambulance. I recorded a few pieces of it, terrified of continuing to watch, terrified of getting caught, terrified of what I might see next. He's alive, though I doubt anyone is safer. (5)

This, more than anything has shown me what we really lost, as a community, when RJ Neary "won" on Friday. We lost our chance to have some real police reform that makes people safer, not brutalizes and traumatizes them. (6)

I have four more years on knowing we could have had a mayor who would have fought to end moments like this, and instead we have four more years of Jean Stothert. (7)
