Late Saturday night, a video emerged of an arrest in progress between a young man and the Tallahassee Police Department in the All Saints Neighborhood.
The video shows a male TPD officer slamming a young man on his head on the pavement in the All Saints neighborhood.
Just seconds before they were placing him in handcuffs.
Tallahassee Police Department policy closely dictates acceptable ‘take down’ methods. Police Departments all across the country banned the “thigh lock” technique in the wake of the murder of George Floyd.
It is unlikely that the officers “wrestling move inspired” suplex maneuver is an approved Tallahassee Police Department technique.
The narrators in the video, who filmed the video from an elevated position in the hotel across the street can be heard saying that the young man was smoking when the officers approached him.
This is a developing story…

I wonder how often police have killed or severly injured a citizen with this move?
His Head was NOT slammed on the concrete. Actually look at the Video and don’t listen to the idiot Girls. His Head NEVER touched the ground UNTIL they rolled him over.
His Head NEVER touched the Concrete until the Officer rolls him over and HE lays his head down. Watch the Video, watch his Head the WHOLE time.
David T. Hawkins, even if you are correct in your observation, would you say this ‘attempt’ to drop this citizen on his head was an appropriate maneuver during this arrest, especially from what looks like full cooperation from the person being arrested?
The police action seems excessive.
