Cops Beat Man & 7-Month Pregnant Wife then Deleted the Video, But it Survived on the Cloud
By Matt Agorist on November 25, 2014
Denver, CO — The Denver police department has been accused of using excessive force after a video, which they allegedly deleted, survived on the cloud and was turned into FOX 31.
The incident started as two officers approached David Nelson Flores, who was in his vehicle with his seven-and-a-half-months pregnant wife and their child, to shake him down after suspecting him of being in possession of a substance deemed illegal by the state.
Upon their approach, officers said they saw Flores put a white sweat sock in his mouth. Because the US is involved in an immoral war on drugs, this ‘sock in mouth’ move apparently gave the officers the right to yank Flores out of his car and proceed to pummel the man on the asphalt.
According to the police report however, a pair of plain clothes officers “assisted” suspect David Nelson Flores out of his car and they all “fell to the ground.”
The pummeling was for Flores’ own good, according to the police report. They bashed in his face and head so he wouldn’t “choke.”
At the moment the officers began struggling with Flores on the ground, Levi Frasier was driving by and pulled over his van to get a better look at the situation. At first, Frasier says, the undercover cops asked for his assistance in subduing Flores.
But Frasier said before he could react, backup arrived and they told him to get back.
That’s when Frasier turned on the camera.
Amazingly enough, as officers were involved in this *life threatening* situation, one of them had the wherewithal to warn his fellow officers about them being filmed. The word “camera!” can be heard shortly after officer Charles “Chris” Jones IV began beating in the face of David Flores.
Flores was struck six times by Jones after he yells, “Spit the drugs out! Spit the drugs out!” Like we said earlier, these six strikes about the face and head of Flores were for Flores’ well being, according to police.
According to police reports, Jones’ reasoning for the punches were twofold:
- Trying to retrieve what he believed was a bag of heroin from the suspect’s mouth (and preventing Flores from choking)
- Fear that one of the other officer’s arms was injured after being trapped beneath the suspect’s body
After seeing her husband’s head bouncing off of the pavement over and over again, Flores’ wife, Mayra Lazos-Guerrero, was scared that he may die, and began begging the police officers in Spanish to stop beating her husband.
Naturally Jones feared for his safety as the seven-and-a-half-months pregnant woman approached the beating zone, so he sweeps 25-year-old Lazos-Guerroro’s legs out from under her. The obviously pregnant woman then falls hard onto her stomach and face, as she begins to scream in agony.
“She was screaming like, ‘What are you doing. Let him go! Let him go! Stop hurting him! What are you doing?,’” Frasier said. “She was just concerned for him. You could clearly hear that and as she got closer.”
After the police-on-pregnant woman violence subsided, Frasier says that’s when the Denver police officers became interested in his Samsung Tablet.
Fraiser told FOX 31 that officers on scene threatened him with arrest, demanded he turn over all photos and videotape to them and then seized his tablet over his objections.
“When he took it, I said, ‘Hey! You can’t do that. You need a warrant for that!’ and he said, ‘What program did you take the video with? Where is that?’” Frasier said.
He said police ignored his objections and dug through his personal photos without obtaining a court order.
“The first officer that comes up to ask me about my witness statement brings me to the police car and says we could do this the easy way or we could do this the hard way,” Fraser said. “It was taken as ‘You can either cooperate and give us what we want or we’re going to incarcerate you.’”
According to Frasier, when he got back his tablet, the video was gone. “I couldn’t believe it. My heart dropped. I know I just shot that video, like it’s not on there now?” Frasier said.
Frasier said it’s “possible” both he and the police officer who looked through his tablet “missed seeing” the clip inside his files.
However, Frasier said he suspects, in reality, the clip was deleted either with intention or by mistake.
When he got back home that evening, Fraiser synced his tablet with his electronic cloud and within a few moments, the video reappeared.
“It was very well known that the video was shot and things were done on the video that shouldn’t be leaked out, that it would be bad for the reputations of the police officers,” Frasier said.
Denver police Cmdr. Matt Murray, pointed out that Frasier did in fact fill out a witness statement and did not report seeing officers do anything inappropriate. However, filling out a complaint with the ones who are threatening you is like voicing your discontent with a murderous kidnapper who is about to let you go, it’s just something you don’t do.
Frasier actually concurs, and said he did sign the witness statement, but did so “under duress.”
“It was survival mode. It was like, ‘Okay, I’m going to make it out of here. Not going to go to jail today for something I didn’t have anything to do with,’” Frasier said.
Despite his friends telling him to delete the video for fear that the officers would seek revenge, Fraiser did the courageous thing and submitted it to FOX31, and for this Frasier deserves credit.
According to court records, the severely injured Flores was brought to the hospital, treated for his injuries, and now faces a charge of resisting arrest and two felony drug charges.
Mayra Lazos-Guerrero faces charges for obstruction, drugs and child abuse because there was a child in the car when this arrest went down. Guerrero was also allegedly caught with drug paraphernalia in her purse.

jesus.
Repeated, nearly daily, stories of police abuse has turned Dragnet and Adam-12 into comedy shows.
The militarization of the police is becoming more apparent every day.
The average citizen is caught between a rock and a hard place, between garden variety criminals and
criminals with a badge representing the State. Those with a badge concern me far more than those
without.
So the cop punched the hell out of this guy so he wouldn’t swallow allegedly hidden heroin in…A SOCK? This is ridiculous. There is no friggin way the guy could swallow a long sock filled with heroin. Then the cop expert sticks up for the police officers actions. Gee, what a surprise.
Of course the cops would grab the tablet and delete the video, they’re dirty, and they lack empathy for even a pregnant woman.
That said…this whole thing could have been avoided if the ding-a-ling suspect didn’t shove the alleged heroin filled sock into his own mouth. He’s lucky he just suffered a broken jaw, the cop could have easily shoved the sock down the guys throat.
GET THE DRUGS OUT!
The wanted to sell it themselves or for their onduty high…
Personally, I think things like this have been going on for many, many years. Now that everyone is carrying cameras it’s helping to bring the abuse out in the open.
As bad as this is, we DO need law enforcement. We would be living in a “Mad Max” environment if they weren’t here. I’m hoping that the cameras will eventually keep officers honest. Or at least weed out the idiots….
we do not need “law enforcement”….that is a relatively new term showing the cops are actually there for revenue collection. we need PEACE OFFICERS. there to keep the peace and protect the people. period. there are hundreds of thousands of laws on the books, and each time they make a law, they are creating a crime, for which there is a monetary profit for the government.
more laws equals more money.
Solutions: 1) no training of police in Israel or by the Israelis. We are being treated like Palestinians. 2) mandatory testing for steroid use by police. roids promote excessive aggression.
Don’t forget yearly pyscho tests by a impartial group… This would reduce it by 90% alone…
And it’s cops like this who make it possible for me to really enjoy dead cops stories. They make me feel all tingly inside knowing a piece of garbage isn’t roaming the streets beating raping and murdering with impunity.
OBVIOUS ANCIENT ONES BEING ACTIVE!
GUESS WHO IS BACK!
BACK AGAIN!
YEAH IT’S DOOMSDAY TIME!
YEAH!
They want to arrest the woman to speak about child abuse because a child was left in a car !
FFS the scum police are now killing unborns and try to put the blame on the public
All the police involved need to be put in jail and have the pensions removed that they want us tax payers to pay for because the police are not working for us but the elite and are clearly abouve the law just like our bankers and politicians.
Thankfully this man, Levi Frasier, had his video synchronized with the cloud-we need more brave souls with the courage to risk their own well-being to expose those that are violent psychotic and lawless cops.
Document!
I want what this guy is smoking.
Of course the mods know who he is “Real Deal”
OF COURSE!!!!!
( Unless they don’t know who their own boss is )
What are you talking about?
Unless you can prove that then I suggest to shut up!
NO!
PROVE I AM THE SAME OR GET OUT!
You can legally get it now in Washington DC. Pot is legal there yet 95% of the rest of the US still have pot being a Felony and doing jailtime… Itsn’t that strange, Washington DC legalized it yet you don’t hear too much about it because they don’t want it to be too publically known…
I NEVER MET ONE HONEST COP; HAVE YOU? Hear me out before you jump too fast!
Even when people complain not all COPS ARE TREASONOUS CRIMINALS ARE WRONG! You see, in all departments, you have cops commiting crimes, but 100% of the so called “Honest” cops, don’t say or lift one finger to stop their fellow criminal cops! If they do, they will get a hard time, set up, and fired if they question or bring anything to the attention of anyone outside the department. So you see, anyone that says NOT ALL COPS ARE CRIMINALS ARE LIARS! If they even see ONE incident and they do not take action, they are CRIMINALS THEMSELVES BY COVERING UP THE CRIMES INSIDE THEIR DEPARTMENT! It does not matter what race anyone is; it is nothing but your Gov & Top 1%, against the 99% freedom lovers, to divide us.
My heart does not go out to the cops because who really knows how many people they murdered, set up, filed false charges, harrassed, or sent to jail that didn’t deserve it. You see, cops don’t care one bit about anyone but themselves. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY FAMILIES THESE CRIMINALS IN UNIFORM HARM WHEN THEY FALSIFY AND SET UP EVEN ONE PERSON? IT AFFECTS THE ENTIRE FAMILY; NOT JUST THAT ONE PERSON; so of course, its time for payback by many fed up with their criminal actions… The cops harm one person, yet their criminal actions physically affect 10 people down the chain, so they can’t comprehend this. So of course, many wives, children, brothers, sisters, have it out against all police…
So 2 officers were killed; who cares. I don’t. So when does 1 officers life have more meaning then that of anyone THEY MURDERED? Are they more “special” then anyone else, how many have been know to straight out murder and falsify/setup any citizen for no crimes but just because they had the power?
When the POLICE and MEDIA harps on one aspect just because they are a police officer, and not all the lives taken by the very hands of many of these treasonius cops, shows you they do value the life of one person above that of everyone else… Their goes out the door where all men are created equal… (Unless they are a criminal cop or top 1%; the bottom 99% who cares; you and all you’re families are worthless)
Also per FBI Stats, only 27 local police officers were killed in the line of duty in all of 2013; in all 50 states. So you see, the media and cops straight out lies to make it sound like this is a daily occurrance; when the FBI says it is not!
