In the 911 call, made from an El Pollo Loco, the 16-year-old's sister tells a dispatcher that her brother has been having seizures since the day before because he had been off his medication to undergo neurological testing.
"Paramedics are on the way, don’t do CPR, hold onto him or put anything into his mouth," the dispatcher says.A little later, the sister reports that her brother has become"combative." The boy can be heard wailing in the background. The video shows the same exchange as a police officer tries to put handcuffs on the teen in the bathroom. The video reveals that the boy's mother is also there.The officer then leads him outside and to a patrol car."Why am I going to jail?" the teen asks."There’s no reason for you to put me in handcuffs. Give me a good reason. I’m not hurting no one. I’m only hurting my damn self.
