Flores in the face and head. The repeated blows from fists,
boots, and the taser broke Flores’s nose and eye socket. “The
last thing I felt before I woke up in the hospital room . . . was
the whole right side of my face, just I felt the bone break
because he . . . kept hitting me in the same spot.” “It was the
worst thing I ever felt. . . It was so painful that I just blacked
out from the pain.” In the hospital afterwards, “the doctor
explained to me that my nose had been broken pretty bad and
that he had to go in there and . . . cut off a piece of some
cartilage in order to move the bone back in place or
something like that.” “[H]e explained to me . . . how my
cheek bone holds my eye into place, and . . . the fracture to
my . . . cheek bone had kind of like made my eye sunk down
out of the socket. So he had to go in there and . . . put . . . two
metal plates or something, and some screws, and . . . basically
put my . . . eye socket back together. So that way, . . . my eye
is not hanging at an odd angle out of my face.”
