The video shows an officer tackling the 19-year-old who was videotaping his friend's arrests in Harbor City, while they were heading to an LAPD-sponsored movie night.
Los Angeles Police Department officers are being openly criticized online after a video showing them tackling and arresting a 19-year-old went viral over the weekend.
Cortez and his friends were in the area of Harbor City Park at around 5 p.m. to attend an LAPD-sponsored movie night designed to strengthen relationships between police and the community. He said he volunteered to help set up the event before the incident occurred. "That was the reason, a suspicion to believe that we had a gun," Cortez said, noting that he began recording the incident."He didn't lunge at me, he lunged at my phone," he said.
"What was the crime?" Cortez's mother, Rocio Gonzalez asked."We have no crime here. His only alleged crime was recording."
