A 22-minute video compilation released last week shows Facebook group Detroit Will Breathe shows that Detroit police officers encouraged one another to turn off their body cameras. Then shove and pepper spray protesters who were complying with orders after the death of George Floyd’s in 2020. The group posted the collection of police statements, body camera and witness footage on Facebook. “It displays the cruel behavior of the Detroit Police Department and the very brutality we continue to protest and fight against,” the group said about the videos. Detroit Will Breathe protested nearly every night for a time after Floyd’s death.

On the May 29, footage from the body camera of officer Juwan Brown shows another officer approach him and say “turn off that camera.” In another clip an officer yelled, “tase that motherf—er,” as officers tried to detain a woman who appeared to be on the ground. Officers repeatedly cursed and screamed at protesters in a lot of the video clips.

In one clip officers appeared to be trying to get a man to walk away from the area and when he walked the wrong direction, an officer shouted “That way, motherf—er!” When the man appeared to show that he was frightened, the officer yelled, “Now you wanna cry!”

In another clip, an officer screamed in a man’s ear from behind him, as the man walked down the street. When the man stopped walking and faced the officer, the officer shouted once more and pushed him.

“What the f-ck you gonna do about it?” the officer asked. At that time, another officer charged at the man and ran into him.

“I’m leaving, I’m leaving,” the man said from the ground, as someone else shouted, “He’s not doing anything!”

In other videos, officers laughed at protesters “I ain’t gonna lie to you, this sh-t’s kina fun,” an officer said, laughing, on May 31. The comment was captured by Capt. James Demps’ body camera.

Chief James Craig speaking is included between clips. “We told our officers to always be professional,” Craig said. “And when you look at the interactions that our officers have had, they’ve been professional. … My hats continue to be off to them.”

In another video recorded by Demps’ camera on June 2, officers pepper sprayed into a a crowd of protesters before dragging them away from one another and pinning them to the ground

“Don’t mace him, it’s not necessary!” a protester yelled. Officers joked that they’d used all of their pepper-spray.

“The b-tch is empty,” one said. “Oops,” said another.

“I f-cked everybody up,” an officer said. “I f-cked a lot of people up too,” Demps replied. Another officer then said he “thought it’d be worse” and “wanted more.”
