His family says the video, the audio of which was enhanced by the Sacramento Bee and published Friday, is damning. A lawsuit filed by Mann’s family said he was “displaying obvious signs of mental distress.” It faults the department for not trying to de-escalate the situation. Mann’s shooting sparked protests in Sacramento as residents demanded the release of the dash-cam videos. The most incendiary one has been the video shot through the windshield of Lozoya and Tennis’s police cruiser. It shows the series of close calls as the officers tried to hit Mann.
