Denver Police Busted Trying To Destroy Video Evidence Of Beating Pregnant Woman (VIDEO)

Levi Frasier was driving along in Denver not too long ago when he came across two police officers attacking David Nelson Flores on the ground. Being a concerned citizen, he began to videotape the officers on his tablet computer as they pummeled the prone man, demanding drugs from him. When Flores’ 7-month pregnant wife, Mayra Lazos-Guerrero, came up asking them to stop, an officer swept out her feet, dropping her to the ground, enabling them to pummel her as well as her husband. The police claimed that Flores had swallowed a white sweatsock – clearly denoting that he was a drug kingpin and therefore deserved summary punished without need for a court of law to them.

When they finally stopped beating on the couple, they charged Flores with resisting arrest and two drug charges, despite no drugs being found on him. Guerrero was charged with obstruction, drugs and child abuse as there was a child in the car they were driving when the police pulled the couple over. No drugs were found on either suspect, although something claimed as drug paraphanelia was discovered in Guerrero’s purse, with no further details given. Both of them were treated for injuries sustained from the officers.

But once they were aware of being recorded, they demanded the computer, and began rifling through the files without a warrant. When they handed it back, the recording was erased.

Unknown to the officers, Levi Frasier had set up a cloud backup service beforehand. This automatically stored the video clip online, safely out of officers hands. The footage was turned over to KDVR Fox 31, who aired it last night. The officers claimed, according to the police report obtained by Fox 31, that the punches on Flores were there to prevent choking on a bag of heroin that they never saw but only suspected may exist. Further, shortly after the news station reached out to Denver police, the department’s twitter account posted what could be taken as a mocking response.
