9:00Now PlayingA local criminal justice organization has begun a public campaign that demands the removal of Prince George's County Police Department Chief, Hank Stawinski.
The petition comes after a 24-year-old man was severely injured during a traffic stop when officials attempted to arrest him. Allegedly, Demonte Ward-Blake attempted to flee from custody while handcuffed when officers brought him down, injuring his spinal cord, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down.
In a press conference, Stawinski defended the officers' actions, stating that they did not mean to hurt Ward-Blake, and calling the incident a "horrible accident."
The petition has caused divisiveness in the community with some faith based leaders supporting Chief Hank Stawinski and others protesting him.
Rev. Mark Whitlock, Senior Pastor of Reid Temple in Glenn Dale, MD spoke with Roland Martin about the horrific incident and the upcoming town hall at his church on Monday to discuss police and community relations.
