EX-Texans & University of Toledo DB, Desmond Marrow, apparently was being black in the wrong place at the wrong time in McDonough, Georgia.
Ironically, the three Officers claim that they actually feared for their lives as they slammed Marrow on his head, knocked his teeth out, and choked him until he was unconscious because they “honestly thought” Marrow had a gun in his possession.
Desmond, of course, only had a cell phone in his hand.
Another strange thing here is that Marrow seems to be the only person who is frantic or in any legitimate fear for his life in the video, while all three of the arresting Officers appear to be very calm.
This is the second incident this year of Cops mistaking an unarmed black man of having a gun that turns out to be a cell phone.
Then, after learning that Marrow only had a cell phone on his person, these Cops still took him to jail.
Marrow claims that the Officers tried to pin him with resisting arrest. In the arresting Officers’ Police Report, the cops allege that Marrow: “refused to comply with commands;” was “kicking Officers;” and that they held him down by his neck because Marrow was attempting to “head-butt” Officers.
From the looks of the video, it doesn’t seem like the Cops’ version of the events are going to stick.
Flip the pages to see the video of Desmond Marrow getting arrested; the absolutely ludicrous “statement of facts” from the arresting Officers’ Police Report; and photos of Marrow’s injuries from the assault, including his missing teeth.
