Eliot McLeod told Edmonton Provincial Court Monday that he panicked as police officers repeatedly beat him, even after he was in handcuffs. "I was just trying to get my hands behind my back because I knew I was done," McLeod told the court. At that moment, a second cruiser arrived, which is when Tyler Eaglespeaker began recording with his cell phone from the front door of his family's house. On one video, a second officer — Partington — was shown quickly walking up and abruptly driving his knee into the middle of McLeod's back. An officer is heard yelling, "Don't run from police," and a second officer says, "Did you think I would not catch you, you fat f--k?"
