Viral Videos Shape Views of Police Conduct

Aug. 14, 2014 Videographer: Levi Frasier David Flores was kicked in the face repeatedly during an arrest in Denver as officers tried to force him to spit out a sock allegedly stuffed with drugs. Flores’s pregnant girlfriend was tripped during the incident. The videographer said the video on his tablet was deleted by police, but had already been backed up on the cloud. The incident clarified that police have little legal standing to seize phones or tablets without a warrant. Police officials said use of force was justified, especially because Flores could have died if he swallowed a large amount of drugs. March 25, 2015 Videographer: Ryan Brown Brown recorded as he was pulled over in Colorado Springs, Colo., for a cracked windshield, dragged from his car and forced face-down in the snow.

March 30, 2015 Videographer: Sanjay Seth Seth, an Uber passenger, filmed New York City Police Detective Patrick Cherry berating an Uber driver in a profane, xenophobic rant.

June 5, 2015 Videographer: Brandon Brooks Cpl. David Eric Casebolt was one of a dozen officers responding to a reported fight at a suburban pool party in McKinney, Texas.

Chargers lose receiver Inman, cornerback Flowers

Dontrelle Inman to a neck injury and cornerback Brandon Flowers to a knee injury in the first quarter of their game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Inman was immobilized on a backboard and taken off the field on a cart after he was sandwiched by safety David Bruton Jr. and linebacker Brandon Marshall. Chargers coach Mike McCoy said after the game that "everything is looking good as of right now and they are going to run a few more tests" on Inman, who was able to move his extremities before being taken from the field. "Yes he was. He was moving his hand when I was out there with him. Before they took him away he was moving his hands and his feet. They asked him to move a few things and do some things and he responded to all of those things, which was great," McCoy said. Inman, who had moved into the starting lineup after Keenan Allen suffered a season-ending kidney injury on Nov. 1, was hit after making a 15-yard catch for a first down. The drive ended with Josh Lambo missing a 48-yard field goal. A few plays later, Flowers hurt his left knee in a collision with Broncos tight end Owen Daniels. He too was taken off the field on a cart. The Broncos (10-2) won the game 17-3, but they lost several players in the process. Running back C.J. Anderson went out with an ankle injury. Tight end Vernon Davis and linebacker Danny Trevathan left with head injuries, returner Omar Bolden injured a hamstring and safety David Bruton Junior was helped off late in the game with a knee injury. Davis was concussed on a helmet-to-helmet hit by a href="http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/search/?action=search&channel=sports&inlineLink=1&searchindex=gsa&query... http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/sports/article/Chargers-lose-receiver-Inman-cornerback-Flowers-6680041.php
