CORRECTION: David Rose did not file – and could not have filed – a motion for qualified immunity. The doctrine of qualified immunity only applies to civil cases. Rose filed a motion for immunity under O.C.G.A. § 16-3-24.2, a Georgia law that provides immunity to anyone who uses force in accordance with certain specified statutes. His motion was denied.
On April 27, 2018, former Tampa Bay Buccaneer Desmond Marrow made national headlines when a video of his December 2, 2017 arrest went viral. The video shows two Henry County police officers in a parking lot, lifting Desmond Marrow off of the ground and slamming the ex-NFL player to the pavement. Seconds later, an officer is seen choking Desmond Marrow until his body goes limp. Marrow was handcuffed the entire time.
An internal affairs investigation found that both officers’ use of force was in compliance with department policy, but months later the Henry County Police Department received notice that one of the two officers had been recorded on his own dash camera saying, “I’m not gonna write it down, but hell yeah, I choked that mother****er.†A second investigation was launched, and this time departmental charges against Officer David Rose were sustained. Rose was fired and charged with simple battery.
In late-March, 2019, Rose unexpectedly rejected a plea deal that would have resulted in twelve months probation, anger management classes, and the surrender of his law enforcement certification, instead entering a plea of not guilty.
In late-April 2019, Desmond Marrow pleaded no contest to charges of reckless driving, aggressive driving, and obstructing a police officer. The other charges against him had all been dropped.
On June 27, 2019, a grand jury indicted David Rose and issued a warrant for his arrest. The grand jury charged Rose with two counts of violating his oath of office, one count of making a false statement, and simple battery.
Millions of people around the world have seen the viral video that put this case on the map, but only a handful have seen the rest of the evidence.
Let’s change that.

@12:44, he played in the NFL for 8 years??? Why is he lying, is he in a blind date or something???
Just another day in America, corruption at minimum!
This is some " I'm gonna find a way to make this a crime" bullshit. I just came off watching a vid where a guy was threatening cops and didn't get hurt at all. Meanwhile….
Wow that cop's demeanor is totally different when dealing with white people. Talk about a good ol boy. Fuck me.
The 911 operator is a very rude, unprofessional 💩 stain and needs to be fired. The man was only trying to get help.
We need to see more of this, cops arrested and held accountable for their actions. We ALL are supposed to follow the same laws and NO ONE is above the law.
Sooooooo, how does just NOT resisting go again? He clearly was NOT resisting and still got abused.
It really turned out bad for Hank Schrader
WOW just WOW! Poor guy, and you wonder why they get called pigs?
That dispatcher should be fired, she’s trash
A cop drives into a parking lot, where does he park?
Anyfuckingwhere he wants to
Dude qs crying 😢 like a baby , come on bro your too big to have all that emotion
For every one hundred videos on this channel trying to excuse police misconduct, there is one video like this one exposing police criminal behavior.
Todays police do NOT follow the Constitution they follow Martial law Rule, obey or die mentality.
i cant watch this cause its gonna piss me the fuck off
Might as well have the mafia investigate themselves, or any citizen accused of anything be responsible for their own investigation. Its not rocket science to see that conflict of interest there.
They need to make it a law that people can defend Each other and them self against law enforcement that’s like this would love to see this goofie ass cop get stomped
Trash
This is hard to watch. Listening to him cry and gasp for air.
THIS is a PERFECT example of bad cops giving GOOD COPS all a bad NAME!! POS cops were gunnin for him BEFORE he even rolled up on him…😠😠ðŸ˜
This really makes me angry!! He was NOT fighting back and the cops just took it upon themselves to do this to him!!! Smh 😡 I would chase someone too if they were throwing stuff at me so..
Wow, that truly IS unbelievable. Both these officers were CLEARLY acting with disdain for this person…..BOTH should've been fired.
I hope and Pray that ONE cop that choked him lost his badge what a joke this man did nothing wrong nothing at all
Ok 1. The cop can’t tell him not to curse. That is a first amendment protected right. The cop had no legal authority to order him not to. Yes it’s rude and not right, but still he has his first amendment right.
2. That cop I hope got his ass in jail for that assault. I mean he admitted it and he also cursed. So hypocrite.
This is why we need the body cams. Pigs like this are finally starting to get rounded. Not enough of them yet though.
The laces were in!
