North Carolina Teen Body-Slammed by Officer While Grabbing Snacks with Friends Receives $100K In Excessive Force Settlement

A North Carolina Man has settled his $100,000 excessive force lawsuit against police after being accused of drug possession and body-slammed by an officer.

Tony Scott Jr. of Durham, North Carolina, was a 16-year-old at the time of the incident that occurred on Jan. 23, 2019. Scott along with other high school students went to buy snacks from a convenience store across from their school during their lunch period.

Court documents alleged Durham Police Officer Michael McGlasson “responded to a call that someone was selling drugs inside the store.”

McGlasson’s body camera video captures the moment he enters the store filled with a group of teenagers. He walked toward Scott who is seen standing at the cash register. He was wearing what appears to be a letterman jacket with his last name stitched on the front. McGlasson asks him, “What are you up to?”

I hope your insurance rates increase tenfold and then increase exponentially and factorially from there. Along with every other municipality across the country, you should pay a price for weaponizing mad dogs and turning them loose upon society.

In their field of applicants. That's not likely since those guys all come from the same inbred pasture.
