...We very rarely get [live street surveillance] video of incidents where police are actively on a scene. And, they had changed: they had come from the back of the squad to the ground. And my instincts were telling me that ...I don't know what, but something wasn't right.

In what way...were you thinking that something was not right?

It was an extended period of time—again I can't tell you the exact amount of time, and they hadn't told me if they needed any more resources—it's a multitude of different things that ran through my brain, but I became concerned that something might be wrong. It was a gut instinct of—in the incident, something's not going right, whether it be—they needed more assistance, or if—... It was a gut instinct to tell me that, "Now we can be concerned."

And what did you decide to do?

I took that instinct and I called the sergeant. ...The sergeant is the police officers' supervisor. ...[Prosecution exhibit — from the voice recording made of her call to the sergeant:] "...you can call me a snitch if you want to, but we have the cameras up for 320's call...—over at Cup Foods. ...I don't know if they have “use of force" or not— they got something out of the back of the squad and all of them sat on this man—so I don't know if they needed to or not...” [Conversation with police sergeant continues. End of exhibit.]

....You used the term "snitch"...What did you mean by that?

Yes. At the moment, it was a word that just came out of my mouth, but it is outside the scope of my duties to call a sergeant if—...if there was any use of force.

...Tell me what was the purpose of ... giving him that information?

Voicing my concerns. Um, like I said, we don't see incidents. My job is mainly all listening.

...Have you ever before, prior to that date, made a call like that to a sergeant?

No.
