Officials from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation are examining the death of an unarmed Black man who died during an altercation with a White police officer.
The Stonewall officer, Kevin Harrington, is accused pulling the Clarke County man, Jonathan Sanders, off his horse and choking him with a flashlight, the victim’s lawyer told WAPT News. The police officer reportedly continued to exert force even as Sanders, 39, said “I can’t breathe,” attorney J Stewart Parrish said. Sanders died on Wednesday, just a week and two days shy of the year anniversary of Eric Garner’s death.
