<\/a><\/p>\nFitting the description, in the land of the free, is an all too common phrase used by public servants to justify the horrific abuse of innocent people. All too often, the abuse turns deadly, and these innocent people are killed or permanently injured. As the video below illustrates, filming these interactions and telling police they are on video can be the difference between life and death.<\/span><\/p>\n In Hawthorne, California on Friday, a woman who was filling her car up with gas decided to pull out her phone and film when she saw several officers holding an unarmed man at gunpoint.<\/span><\/p>\n The man, who says his name is William, was on his knees with his hands on his head as more officers continue to show up.<\/span><\/p>\n The woman filming, who says her name is Skye, pleads with the officers not to kill the man. She says her boyfriend had been killed by police in 2015, so she was all too familiar with these situations.<\/span><\/p>\n Instead of simply moving in to handcuff the unarmed man \u2014 who police accused of fitting the description \u2014 more officers arrived and pulled out their guns. At one point, multiple officers held AR-15 rifles pointed at his head and at the woman filming too.<\/span><\/p>\n After police finally get over their fear of the unarmed man, they move in to put him in handcuffs. It was at this time that the sobbing woman is approached by an officer who appears to be a supervisor and who asks her what\u2019s wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n The officer admits that they don\u2019t even know if this guy is the suspect and he tells the woman that the man is simply \u201cbeing detained.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe got a call about a robbery \u2026he seemed to match the description ..we\u2019re just detaining him. We\u2019re not saying he\u2019s a suspect \u2026try to relax. It says a weapon was involved that\u2019s the only reason he gets held at gunpoint,\u201d the officer tells her. She\u2019s sobbing. \u201cIt\u2019s just for our safety and everybody around\u2019s safety, OK?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n He asks who the man is to her: \u201cI don\u2019t even know him but I care that much,\u201d she says through tears.<\/span><\/p>\n As she continues filming the interaction, one officer pulls up and appears to block her from filming, using his cruiser as a shield. However, Skye moves around and continues to film.<\/span><\/p>\n As the man is being searched, he can be heard telling them that he had just left a store and purchased items.<\/span><\/p>\n Weather or not the man was arrested is unclear. There have been no statements from the Hawthorne police department and they have not returned our request for comment.<\/span><\/p>\n One thing is certain, however, and that the fact that this woman\u2019s decision to film the officers that day most assuredly had a positive effect on the outcome of the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n
