My heart hurts.
Desmond Marrow, a former NFL player, cried when police in Henry County Georgia brutalized him.
He repeated again and again and again “I’m not doing anything. I’m not fighting back”.
He was handcuffed while they beat him up...they slammed him into a vehicle, they knocked his legs out from under him, they slammed him onto the ground so that his teeth were knocked out...then they choked him while he begged for mercy because he couldn’t breathe.
He cried.
I cried.
Enough is enough.

Desmond Marrow, a personal trainer and former University of Toledo football player who was briefly on NFL and CFL rosters, but never played a professional game, wrote on Instagram, “I only had my cell phone in my possession & they claimed to be scared for their lives. I had no type of weapon in my possession, I was arrested for having a gun that turned out to be my cell phone.” Marrow said he was arrested on felony charges, but details of the case were not immediately available. Public records in Henry County, Georgia, did not show any open cases in his name.

Marrow said when he was taken to jail, he was put into isolation because officers thought he was a gang member because of his tattoos. But he said their attitude changed when they learned he was a former football player and the incident was on video.
Yeah. I bet.
