A warning to listeners and viewers: This next headline contains disturbing content. In North Carolina, the city of Asheville has released police body cam videos showing a white police officer beating, choking and tasering Johnnie Rush, a 33-year-old African-American man, after officers stopped him for jaywalking. Rush had allegedly crossed the street in an area without a crosswalk, when officer Christopher Hickman yelled and ordered him to place his hands behind his back. When Rush ran from the officers, Hickman tackled him, repeatedly struck him in the head, tasered him, and used both arms to place Rush in a chokehold. At several points in the video, Rush is heard echoing the words of Eric Garner, who died in 2014 after a New York police officer placed him in a chokehold: “I can’t breathe.”

Johnnie Rush: “I can’t breathe! I can’t breathe! I can’t breathe! I can’t breathe! I can’t breathe! Oh, my god!”

Rush survived the assault with burns from the Taser and injuries to his head and face. Officer Christopher Hickman resigned in January, just before he was to be fired for violating his department’s use-of-force policy. Last month, Hickman was arrested on charges including felony assault by strangulation.
