Police officers in Los Angeles ignored pleas for help and complaints by a man who said he couldn’t breathe and later died in custody, reports show.

Two reports released in the past week indicate that officers didn’t take Jorge Azucena seriously and one sergeant told him: “You can talk, so you can breathe,” the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.

“There should not be any question that when somebody in custody is heard to say ‘I cannot breathe,’ the officers should promptly call for an ambulance,” said Robert Saltzman, a member of the civilian Police Commission that oversees the LAPD.

One report was issued by the commission’s inspector general — who conducted an independent investigation — and the other was submitted to the commission by Police Chief Charlie Beck.

Beck declined to comment through a spokesman, the Times said.

Authorities say Azucena, 26, was arrested last September after he ran a red light and was briefly chased by officers.

After he was handcuffed, Azucena told officers he couldn’t breathe and had asthma.

Azucena had to be held up to take him to a patrol car, and one officer recalled he appeared to be wobbly, according to the inspector general’s report.

At one point, he began yelling to onlookers: “‘Help me, help me, help me. I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. Help me, please,'” the report stated.
