A cell phone video (below) showing a crowd yelling at a deputy while he arrests Jesse Valdez inside the Willowbrook Mall in Houston on Sept. 19 has gone viral.
The video was filmed by Valdez's brother, Michael Roulhac, who asked the Harris County deputy at least 20 times why he was arresting his sibling, notes the
Houston Chronicle.
Early in the video, the deputy says that he is arresting Valdez for not obeying his orders, but doesn't say what those orders are.
Valdez was riding a mini Segway, also known as a hoverboard, in the mall when he was confronted by the deputy.
"The officer asked me to get off the Segway, and I asked him if this is a rule, or the law that I have to get off the Segway," Valdez said at a press conference on Sept. 21, notes ABC 13. "
Instead of politely answering my question, he used force and took me off the Segway."
After handcuffing Valdez, the deputy keeps his knee planted in the young man's back. Later in the video, he aims a Taser at point-blank range in Valdez's back, causing the crowd to yell.
Mall security guards came on the scene with dogs, and formed a circle around the deputy and Valdez.
Comment: This is the latest tragedy at the holy Muslim city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, following a recent fire and the collapse of a large crane into the Grand Mosque in Mecca last week, which happened 14 years to the day since 9/11 and the ensuing 'global war on terror', which Saudi Arabia played a major role in.
At least 118 people were killed when the crane, operated by Bin Laden Construction Group (and owned by Osama's brother), was struck by lightning and blown over during a powerful sandstorm on the eve of the Hajj pilgrimage. At the behest of Saudi King Salman, Saudi Binladin Group (SBG) has now been banned from taking on new work, and will have its current projects reviewed.
Some other members of the Bin Laden family were killed in a private jet crash at a UK airport last month, in an incident which "doesn't make sense", according to a pilot who regularly flies into the airport.
Bad omens are piling up for Saudi Arabia...
