Activist Marcus Coleman, of South Fulton, Ga, was violently attacked and assaulted by South Fulton Deputy, Officer Solomon Muhammad on Friday January 29, 2021.
The incident took place Friday afternoon along a stretch of Roosevelt Highway after a traffic accident had occurred. The encounter began when Marcus Coleman, Founder of Save Our Selves, a grass roots organization focusing on community outreach and family support services, approached the deputy to inquire about the lack of traffic control in the aftermath of a serious motor vehicle accident.After rolling down his passenger side window and hearing Coleman's concerns about a lack of traffic control the deputy promptly rolled his window back up without comment.
Coleman proceeded to move away from the patrol car, continuing to record and give commentary on the events unfolding when Officer Muhammad exited his patrol vehicle and aggressively approached Mr. Coleman. Coleman backed away in an effort to create social distance between himself and the unmasked officer.After putting a mask on the officer then tells Coleman that he needs to get back in his vehicle, to which Coleman declines. As the two seem to be done with the exchange, moving away from one another, Coleman remarks that he will see what Chief Meadows has to say about this, at which point, officer Muhammad becomes unhinged and things quickly go left.
