He holds up his hands, apparently speaking with the officers, when they force him to the ground. ¶ Two officers struggle to turn him over, even as he appears to be strewn across another man’s legs, when suddenly one of the men retrieves his gun from its holster. ¶ At this point in Vargas’ video, she turns to her immediate left and focuses on an officer wrestling another man to the ground.
