Note to the cop: Gotta watch your head position on that double-leg, man. Leaving it outside the body like that is a good way to get guillotined.
Parscale’s wife told officers that her husband had threatened suicide, remained inside with multiple guns and abused her days earlier, police wrote in an incident report from the encounter over the weekend. After Parscale eventually emerged, an officer wrote that he was refusing commands to get down, so the officer tackled the towering campaign operative.
Body camera footage captured something entirely different. In the footage, Parscale is seen shirtless and speaking calmly to an officer. While the police report describes him as ignoring commands and possibly having a gun in his pocket, Parscale is seen in the recording as standing still, talking lucidly and not reaching for anything. He was tackled four seconds after first being told to drop to the ground.
The footage captured what experts say is a bleakly familiar incident and outcome, involving police called about someone in crisis and responding with a sudden burst of force.
