“I Can’t Breathe”: Body Camera Footage Of Jaxson Hayes Arrest Shows Officer Kneeing On His Neck While Hayes Gasps For Air
Earlier this month, we reported that New Orleans Pelicans big man Jaxson Hayes was arrested in Los Angeles, at his own house, following a brawl with Los Angeles Police.
During the brawl, Hayes got tasered and eventually taken into a hospital. The Pelicans were aware of the situation, while working on additional information. A report by TMZ then sheds some light on the case. They tased him for two and a half minutes.
TMZ now released body camera footage of Jaxson Hayes’ arrest and it is hard to watch. The footage includes one Los Angeles police officer briefly pressing a knee to the neck of Hayes as he gasped for air while saying “I can’t breathe”.
