Jaemiir McElroy: Holding Canton Police Accountable for Abusive Arrest
Bobby DiCello is representing 21-year-old Jaemiir McElroy, who was kneeling on the ground with his hands raised when an officer kicked him in the chest and knocked him violently to the ground.
As documented by witnesses and bystander video, when Jaemiir raised his hands in submission, a police officer ran up and delivered him a powerful kick to his chest. Jaemiir was kicked while he was down on the ground.
Bobby represents multiple clients who have been injured or killed by members of the Police Department in Canton.
He says: “It is time for the City of Canton to wake up and realize that its police department is attacking its own citizens and treating them as enemy combatants rather than citizens. We remain committed to holding these officers accountable.”
