🚨 Major Milestone Alert 🚨


We just filed a significant opposition brief that exposes alarming and egregious  discriminatory practices within the Prince George's County Police Department (PGCPD). 


The blockbuster filing details the heroic story of Officer Mohamed Magassouba, an honorable police officer who became a target in a good-ole-boy network for choosing integrity and protecting the public over institutional loyalty. Throughout his decade-long career with the PGCPD, Magassouba demonstrated an unwavering dedication to his duties, a commitment to upholding the law, and a profound respect for the community he served—bolstered by the absence of any use of force incidents on his record. 


Yet, in a tragic turn of events, Magassouba found himself targeted, attacked, and discarded by the very institution he had sworn to serve. His crime? Refusing to lie on a witness statement to validate a fellow officer’s excessive use of force in the following video: https://youtu.be/gUrVvrIeQTs. Magassouba’s courageous defiance—in a police department riddled with racially-charged issues—marked the beginning of a relentless campaign of discrimination, retaliation, and harassment against him.


Officer Magassouba's story is a stark reminder of the struggles that honorable officers endure when they choose to stand up for what is right. We're here to fight for justice, not only for Magassouba but for every community member and officer who believes in the true spirit of law enforcement.


💪 Together, we fight for the people. Together, we fight for justice. Stay tuned as we continue to hold those in power accountable and strive for a fairer, more equitable system.
