Video taken from a witness on East 152nd Street in East Cleveland Wednesday afternoon is making its rounds on social media.
The video begins with what appears to be East Cleveland officers chasing a man on a dirt bike, and after the man falls, he is seen trying to get back up and on his bike, but then you can see a police cruiser knock the bike and the man back down.
“When you’re charged to make an arrest, it doesn’t look great but these are the techniques we are trained in and I did not observe any techniques that police have not been trained in,” he said. “It doesn’t appear that any type of use of force was abused in this case, initially, that I’m seeing.” He said the witness video doesn’t show the man trying to run from police after the cruiser strikes him and he said that’s why police began striking the man, another police technique.
He also noted that the man was not hurt and officers asked him the moment he was arrested if he was okay.
