Videos show Mesa police officers punching, mocking suspect

Body camera videos show a Mesa police officer punching an unarmed suspect multiple times and another officer later mocking the man as he was lying in a pool of blood on a hospital floor.

Police records and videos released this week show Jose Conde was punched and elbowed about four times while officers were trying to handcuff him in January.

Police say Conde resisted arrest before officers found cocaine in his clothes.

Mesa police said in a statement that it has not received a complaint nor has an internal investigation into Conde’s arrest.

The videos follow two recent use of force investigations into two separate arrests by Mesa police.

Conde said in a statement that he hopes his story will help promote change in the police department.
