Relevant and outrageous portion here:
After an officer handcuffs Mr. Pence, the bystander recording the interaction asks the officers what crime Mr. Pence is committing.
“He’s creating a disturbance, obviously,” the officer says.
The bystander then tells the officer not to get any closer. The officer replies, “How about you don’t tell me what to do,” and then calls the bystander a “clown.”
When Mr. Morris approaches the scene, he asks why his husband is in handcuffs, the video shows.
Mr. Morris eventually walks down an alleyway to cool off, his lawyer said, and several officers follow him.
The bystander’s video does not show what happened in the alleyway.
After several minutes, Mr. Pence is heard saying in the video that the officers are beating his husband in the alleyway.
The video then shows Mr. Morris emerge from the alleyway handcuffed, with his shirt tattered and with two officers behind him.
Mr. Morris says in the video that an officer punched the “left side of my eye.” A photo of him taken on Tuesday shows his left eye bruised and swollen
