(+) Yeah! (+)

Prosecutors said a doorbell camera on a house across the street captured Ellis telling the officers that he could not breathe. He is heard saying, clearly: "Can't breathe, sir. Can't breathe!" Less than 15 seconds later, prosecutors said, Ellis can be heard again pleading with the officers, saying either "Breathe, sir?" or "Please, sir?" One of the officers then tells him to "shut the f--k up, man," according to the probable cause statement.
