From footage Cenobio recorded that night, it is inconclusive whether or not Munoz raised his fist before the officers began restraining him.
The Sacramento County District Attorney’s office and ABC10 later identified the arrestee as 26-year-old Francisco Munoz.
“They grabbed both his [Munoz] arms from both angles, and were pulling them back and forth,” Cenobio said. “He [Munoz] broke free from them and took off running. I turned with my camera and you can see him run. The cop comes and tases him, and he keeps running a little bit and he [Nguyen] tases him again.”
In an interview with The State Hornet, Munoz said he did not intend to run from the cops at first and only did so after they began to cause him physical pain.
“It felt like they just wanted to break my wrist,” he said. “I know it’s my word against theirs. I have no reason to fight two cops. I had tapped out. I was telling them, ‘Okay, you’re bending my wrist so hard that this doesn’t make sense.’”
Munoz added that he was never told he was being detained, and was just grabbed without words.

According to The State Hornet’s anonymous source, it was then that Burton caught up with Nguyen and Munoz.
“He [Corporal Nguyen] tases this guy, and another officer [Sergeant Burton] comes from behind, pushes me and said, ‘Do you want to be next?’,” the source said.
Moments later, the source said it was Burton who put his knee on Munoz’s neck.
“After you’ve been tased, you’re going to be pretty compliant,” Cenobio said. “I don’t think you’re going to be fighting back, so they shouldn’t have been that aggressive.”
In a video sent to The State Hornet of that night, Munoz is heard shouting “Get off my f—— head, bro,” while other cyclists shout concurring statements.

Burton has been with Sac State’s Police Department as a sergeant since 2013, according to the volume 7, issue 2 of Sac State’s administration and business affairs newsletter.
The ABA newsletter also documents Nguyen’s two awards as an officer during his time at Sac State. The first was in fall 2011 when he was presented with department recognition from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) for DUI arrests made in 2010 while the second was a public safety award for being “employee of the quarter” in 2013.
Sac State’s Police Chief Mark Iwasa, who is set to retire this summer, said the use of force was certainly within policy for the officers in videos he had seen on social media. The use of restraints on detainees should continue “for as long as is reasonably necessary” to guarantee safety of both officers and others around, according to policy 306.3.1 in the Sac State police department policy manual.
