Arizona cops’ shocking insults about disabled brothers are picked up by bodycam after they were called out to deal with bizarre fight between the siblings

Arizona Police have been caught on bodycam making disgusting comments about two disabled brothers during a call to their home.

Lake Havasu City officers labeled David Adams and his brother “f****ing r****ds” after they were called to their home to handle a dispute.

The shocking footage has emerged after Adams, 25, filed excessive force charges against police after he was repeatedly tasered during the incident last year.

Adams was arrested after his brother called 911 in an attempt to evict him. Adams told police when they arrived that the altercation started over an argument over a blanket.

But the situation quickly escalated and culminated in Adams being tasered at least seven times, despite also being restrained by officers on top of him.

In video obtained by ABC7, An officer can be heard talking about the brothers as he approaches their home.

“These are the three damn assholes that Danielle and I had to deal with,” he said.

“Mom’s out of town. That’s why they act like that… because mom usually keeps them under control. They’re all special needs, yes.”

Later the language becomes even more offensive when a superior appears on the scene.

‘These are those three brothers who are f***king ret***ed. They are all special needs,” the officer tells him.

Disturbing footage shows officers struggling with Adams, who tells them his brother punched him in the face.

One of the officers replies that he started it and they hear arguing with the distressed man.

As he becomes more irritated, one of the officers says he is going to deploy his taser.

You will then hear the weapon used on Adams at close range using the ‘drive stun’ setting.

A police report shows that at least one officer also punched him after he refused to comply.

Images taken after the battle showed that Adams had suffered approximately thirty wounds to his torso.

After he was taken to jail, another officer was heard stating that he had ‘re****d power’.

Adams was subsequently diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, a condition that causes muscle wasting and has been linked by some research to traumatic events.

“He still deals with issues every day because of his physical issues from the attack, and he has emotional issues from the attack,” his mother Cassandra said.

“It was just horrible to see and hear what happened to a human being at the hands of the police, and then to be a member of your family, let alone your child.”

Adams was charged with disorderly conduct, assault and resisting arrest, which he is now appealing.

An internal investigation by the Lake Havasu City Police Department found that officers did not use excessive force and no disciplinary action was taken.

Adams and several family members are now suing the department and several officers for $8.5 million for alleged excessive force, failure to intervene, gross negligence, battery and infliction of emotional distress.

“This is a situation where someone is sitting on the ground and multiple officers are on top of that person; there was no tasing necessary at all,” said Sean Woods, the family’s attorney.

He stated that officers should have assessed the situation and not filed criminal charges.

One officer involved has since resigned, but according to the police this had ‘nothing to do with the Adams incident’.

“Due to the ongoing litigation, we are unable to discuss specific questions regarding the case,” they said in a statement.

‘An internal investigation has shown that there were no violations of the violence policy.

‘There was a breach of the behavioral standards policy and officers were issued a letter of advice in relation to their language.

‘One of the supervisors was also given a Letter of Counseling after he was found to have breached the supervisor’s responsibilities to ensure photographs were taken following an incident of violence.

‘The entire investigation was submitted to AZ POST for review and AZ POST took no action.

The statement added that police “regularly conduct training” regarding the use of weapons and firearms.
