In Sacramento, California, newly released police dash camera video shows two officers intentionally trying to run over 51-year-old African American Joseph Mann, before he was fatally shot by police 14 times, in July. In the video, one officer can be heard saying “F- this guy, I’m going to hit him,” as the officer drives the police cruiser toward the man. Listen closely.
Police officer 1: “F*** this guy. I’m going to hit him.”
Police officer 2: “OK. Go for it. Go for it. Watch it! Watch! Watch!”
Police officer 1: “We’ll get him. We’ll get him.”
Mann died at the scene after being shot. The two officers, Randy Lozoya and John Tennis, have been placed on desk duty. Police say Joseph Mann was holding a knife in the middle of the street. His family says he was having a mental health emergency.
