White Liberal Prosecutor says a White Elyria Cop used Reasonable Force when He Straddled a Black Teen and Slammed His Head Into the Concrete to Make Arrest

From [HERE] An investigation by the Lorain County Prosecutor's Office has determined that there was no unreasonable or excessive force used by Elyria police in their arrest of Markese White last month.

On September 21, two Elyria police officers tried to speak with 18-year-old Markese White about allegations made by his sister.

Video shot by a bystander shows an officer wrestling White to the ground while others look on. The report confirms the officer, identified as Patrolman Michael Walker, hit White's head on the cement while trying to arrest him.

Court records show White was eventually taken to the Lorain County Jail on multiple charges, including felonious assault, domestic violence, and resisting arrest. Elyria Police Chief Duane Whitley placed Walker on leave and asked the Lorain County Prosecutor's Office investigate the actions of his officer.

"In coming to the conclusion I have reached today, I did not do so hastily," wrote Lorain County Prosecutor J.D. Tomlinson in a release. Tomlinson says his office reviewed three separate video recordings of the arrest, police reports made by the officers involved, the medical report of White from the staffs at the Lorain County Jail and University Hospitals Elyria Regional Medical Center, and a report from an investigator from Tomlinson's office.

"It is only after a careful study of all these materials and the relevant law, and after extensive consultation with all of the personnel studying this matter, that I have resolved the issue of whether in effecting the arrest of Markese White on September 21, 2021, members of the Elyria Police Department used unreasonable or excessive force. I have concluded they did not," Tomlinson stated.
