LA County DA Gascón said Edward Bronstein screamed ‘I can’t breathe' over and over again while officers continued to restrain him and even demanded he stop yelling.
announced the charges Wednesday against CHP Sergeant Michael Little, and officers Dionisio Fiorella, Dusty Osmanson, Darren Parsons, Diego Romero, Justin Silva and Marciel Terry. All were charged with one count of involuntary manslaughter and one felony count of assault under the color of authority. Registered nurse Arbi Baghalian was also charged with one count of involuntary manslaughter. They all face a maximum of four years in prison if convicted.
The video then shows several officers restraining him. According to Gascón, Bronstein was handcuffed and face down on a mat in the station's garage as he pleaded for his life. The group of officers hold him down and press their knees on his legs as Bronstein repeatedly tells them he'll comply, however one officer can be heard saying "it's too late."
"Mr. Bronstein's shrieks get softer until he is silent. He is unresponsive when a medical professional draws his blood and officers hold him down. Unresponsive when they take a second vial of blood, laying so lifelessly that the officers no longer need to hold him down because he’s dying as they watched,"Gascón said during Wednesday's press conference.
