Phoenix police were responding to a call about a white man creating a disturbance at a Circle K when they confronted a 34-year-old Black man instead, punching, tasering and arresting him on assault charges, accusing him of refusing their commands.

And body camera footage shows they did not even give him a chance to comply, attacking him within two seconds of pulling up to him in a patrol car. The real suspect was a white man named Derek Stevens, but when an officer spoke with him, the 33-year-old man claimed he was the victim, not the aggressor, telling the cop he had been attacked by a Black man who stole his phone.
