A California police officer repeatedly used a Taser on an unarmed man who was standing in 50-degree water, watched the man beg for help as his lungs filled up, and only called paramedics after the man became unresponsive, according to a civil rights lawsuit.

The civil rights lawsuit alleges that Deontae Faison, 35, who is Black, was the victim of police excessive force while at a park in Northern California with a friend on April 5. He has been in a coma since the incident.

“The level of disregard and callousness the officers showed as they comfortably stood by and watched Deontae call out for help while flailing his arms in a desperate bid to avoid drowning is unforgivable,” said civil rights attorney Jamir Davis in a statement. “Deontae’s family will not rest until these officers are held accountable.”
