Once again police have been caught abusing their power by attacking an inmate who was on suicide watch! The back story is that allegedly Jarrett Hobbs was pulled over in Camden County, Georgia for speeding with a suspended driver's license when the cop smelled a controlled substance. Shortly after five jail officials were seen assaulting him in a holding cell. The 41- year old was held in isolation for 15 days after the unprovoked attack. He did not receive medical attention, and he was charged with 9 counts of assault, battery and obstruction. Tune in tomorrow to the Rashad Richey Morning for further details on the case. #RashadRichey #RashadRicheyMorningShow #policebrutality #blacklivesmatter
