A 68-year-old black woman in Missouri is suing 4 white police officers claiming that she and her son were injured when officers threw them to the floor of a big-box store on the false accusation that they had stolen a television.

Marvia and Derek Gray were both arrested, and their TV and other purchases they had made at the store were seized and their car towed, the lawsuit says. Their purchases were returned to them by police the following day.

Andrew M. Stroth, of Action Injury Law Group, a national civil rights law firm representing Marvia Gray, said his client “thought her son was about to be another black man unjustifiably shot and killed by the police,”“You can see in the video that she is terrified with respect to what they’re doing to her son,” Stroth said.

The statement said Derek Gray “did not comply and began to struggle with officers” and that Marvia Gray was arrested after she “began to grab and pull at the officers” during the interaction. Derek Gray was charged with aggravated assault of a police officer and “stealing in the near future” and Marvia Gray was charged with interfering and resisting arrest.

Sad

Their time is coming

Another one .. !!!

The police will Settle she’ll probably get a half million maybe more

Why should the world suffer because their mothers taught them to be racist.

Proven false?

Get every dime from 'em.

They didn't mean no harm.

But did they resist arrest?

Everyone keep their powder dry on this one. In all of these cases more comes out with time. In those cases, the police actions were justified bcz of actions of the people.

Welcome to the United States Militia

This is getting worse and worse. I guess talking to her first was out of the question? What is it with men in blue that their first action is to throw someone to the ground? Is that how everyone is trained? Scary

Aaaannnd what would have happened if these 2 were white? This is disgusting

Free America, slaves every day. Black people need to be careful.

Hope media continue to report on this case and the family gets justice.

🐷

However, if they weren't socially distancing this would be acceptable--right?

This will ALWAYS happen as long as people DO NOT comply with instructions from approaching officers. I’ve been on both sides of this. The cops are doing their job with information they’re given - they DO NOT want confrontation. When you resist, wtf do you think will happen?

I hope the woman gets a good financial judgement against the racist 'officers'. Also, they should be booted from law enforcement.

Another example of the Trump EFFECT

WTF is 'stealing in the near future'?

Stimulus check spending gone bad.

“Derek Gray was charged with aggravated assault of a police officer and “stealing in the near future” “ What does stealing in the near future mean

Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Whatever happened to the BlackRace ?

priyankasehgal7 fyi.

This story is TWO MONTHS OLD.

Really agree to sue them. Make it right.

Yeah, that's messed up.

Hey you liberal f**king muppets. Read around, instead of race-baiting NBC. They weren’t complying with the police and this is how people, who refuse to be arrested, are arrested- retrained on the ground. Look at these disgusting creatures “oh I’m hurt! Oh Lordy I’m hurt!” BS

On top of everything else wrong here: Isn't there a way for four trained officers of the law to arrest a nearly 70 year old woman without tackling and beating her? Somehow? Jesus.
