The video shows Henry County, Georgia police pushing Desmond Marrow a former NFL player into the back of a car before pulling his legs up and slamming him to the ground. During the altercation, Mr Marrow can be heard telling the police he is complying with them, and later telling them he couldnt breath when an officer puts his hand on his throat.
Im not even fighting back. Im not even doing nothing man! Mr Marrow says in the video.
When an officer puts his hand on Mr Marrows neck, he can be heard saying I cant breath.
Shortly after the officer removes his hand, Mr Green appears to lose consciousness. For several moments the officers appear not to notice before one nudges his shoulder to see if he is alright, and then officers lift the man to a sitting position.

Other than that, there is no clear answer!
In the meantime, back to the Desmond who was assaulted by cops.

(5,624 posts)is particularly disturbing for me. one way to fix this problem is to give citizens more rights against violence from police. if I'm innocent you cannot rough me up without repercussions, if I'm guilty you cannot rough me up without repercussions.

A black man said he was arrested in Georgia for possessing a firearm which he said, in reality, was his cellphone and that police officers slammed him to the ground and choked him until he passed out.
The man, 30-year-old Desmond Marrow, posted a video Thursday on Facebook, showing what appeared to be three white Henry County police officers taking him to the ground and pinning him down as he cried and screamed, telling them that he was not resisting.
During the arrest the police knocked my teeth out, slammed me on my head and choked me out until I was unconscious, he wrote in the Facebook post.
Its unclear in the video whether Marrow lost consciousness.
