What Happened To Dashawn McGrier?

Would you want this done to you?
Baltimore Police had fired a dirty cop out of cannon. Don't believe the hype of the cop resigning.

The city police are trying to clean house. Bad cops have caused tension within the community. It's also hurting investigations into criminal activity. The residents are scared of the gang violence and the police.

This was shown on social media. A Baltimore City cop engaging in a confrontation with a 26 year old man. When the cop touched the man, he swatted his hand away. That gave him a serving of knuckle style chilli with onions.

Dashawn McGrier is lucky to be alive.



Police said a second officer on the scene at the time of the incident was placed on administrative duties pending the outcome of the investigation.

Attorney Warren Brown, who is representing McGrier who was punched was not being charged with a crime, but was taken to a hospital and was having X-rays taken of his jaw, nose and ribs late Saturday for suspected fractures from the altercation.

Brown said McGrier had a previous run-in with the same police officer — whom he identified as Officer Arthur Williams — in June that resulted in McGrier being charged with assaulting the officer, disorderly conduct, obstructing and hindering, and resisting arrest. Brown said that in that incident and in the one Saturday, McGrier was targeted without justification by the officer.

"It seems like this officer had just decided that Dashawn was going to be his punching bag," Brown said. "And this was a brutal attack that was degrading and demeaning to my client, to that community, and to the police department."
Dashawn McGrier was brutally assaulted by a dirty Baltimore cop. He and the cop had a run-in before. He still has charges pending for the first encounter. The cop who served him a knuckle style chili was fired out the cannon.
Williams was hired by the Baltimore Police Department just over a year ago. He graduated from the police academy in April, and got top honors. He was the bearer of  "the colors" of the graduating class. And Williams won honors for defense tactics, physical training and emergency vehicle operation.

Remember Freddie Gray died in 2015 while in police custody. According to the right wing carnival barkers, he created his injuries. Gray was a no good drug dealer and deserved his fate. Conservatives were attacking Barack Obama, Eric Holder and Black Lives Matter over this.

It lead to a few nights of unrest.

It thrust Marilyn Mosby into the spotlight. She managed to get six cops indicted on murder. The state prosecutor couldn't deliver on conviction but it led the U.S. Justice Department to place Baltimore Police on the federal watch.
