Cell phone video provided to NBC News by the family’s attorney captured moments from an incident where police officers in Rosenberg, Texas were accused of using excessive force on a woman battling cancer and her husband. A 2016 lawsuit filed by Christine and Steven Saenz alleged the incident escalated when Steven tried to inform police about his wife’s cancer and a device used to administer chemotherapy drugs in her chest.

  1. These pigs should've been at the Uvalde shooting. The sense of urgency to attack and assault would have done good there. Glad they got buried in lawsuit.

  2. These cops are ridiculous…

  3. They surely didn't treat them Jan 6th rioters the way they are treating them

  4. She should of ran to a shool

  5. I'm not surprised that it was Texas Cops

  6. THE PIGS KNEE WAS ON THE BACK OF DUDES NECK . . . SUE THEM FILTHY PIGS

  7. the dude will the video so cancer sp what and they're looking for a reason to hit them you a clown

  8. what's the full story? 😲😲😲😲

  9. I wish Texas cops could have used all this energy in Uvalde.

  10. Making us feel safer every day.

  11. Good luck getting the body cameras, Texas cops are well known for refusing to release body cameras because it makes them look bad. Uvalde is a great example for that

  12. This is usa police , they are power abusers, don't care if it is mental illness or cancel

  13. Welcome to Texas.

    Where nothing goes wrong

  14. Why were they arrested? What did they do? It doesn't mention what the crime was? 🤔

  15. THE COPS WOULD HAVE KILLED ME!! I LOVE MY MAMA AND DADDY!!✊🏿🙏🏿

  16. Just watch the police investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong.

  17. Bruh I bet y'all nothing happened to those cops

  18. So to be clear, Texas cops tackle cancer patients to the ground, likely over something trivial but they chicken out when there's a deadly threat on innocent children? Hmm. 🤔 I guess that what serve and protect looks like these days. 😒🤦

  19. that cancer patient is such a threat to their pathetic lives.

  20. What's the problem? They been doing this to Black Men and Women for centuries. At least they got to walk away alive.

  21. The feeling of helplessness…omg I'm furious!!

  22. This is what our tax money gets us? Vomitable behavior!!!

  23. Totally disgusting. I hope the “cops” and the city are made to pay through the nose.

  24. Oh wonderful, out lovely police officers protecting and serv…. nevermind 🤦🏾‍♂️

  25. Whomever that guy is with the camera is a coward to allow the cops to brutally attack his mom and dad.

  26. What led up to this?
    What does cancer treatment have to do with anything?
    What does stay down mean to some people?
    There appears to be more to the story…

  27. 2a is bot just to keep the predators away but you keep the police on check if tyrannical acts against the people.

  28. It's a SAD true fact, Police in this country treat our citizen WORSE than our soldiers are allowed to treat enemy combatant prisoners of war. Ask anyone if they think it's true or not.

  29. Believe it or not, you have a great behavior president in America , you have same behavior enforcement officers in the country too ..( like father like son )👀👀👎👎

  30. These cowards need to be prosecuted and never allowed to hold this position again

  31. Why is this necessary to do this to a person

  32. I bet the person is black

  33. That would be hard to film, watching your mom and dad get brutalized by the police.

  34. No wonder police keep wanting raises. Look at these A-holes who probably don't even pay taxes.
