TL;DR Summary

Attorneys representing Jawan Dallas, a Black man who died after being tased by Mobile Police Department officers, argue that Dallas did not match the description provided by the 911 caller. The 911 call transcripts reveal that the caller described the suspect as a "skinny black dude" who was homeless, while Dallas weighed about 193 pounds and was sitting in his vehicle. The attorneys claim that the officers approached and assaulted Dallas based solely on the fact that he was a Black man. The City of Mobile released the 911 call transcripts to counter attorney Harry Daniels' claims, leading to a $36 million lawsuit filed by the Dallas family against the officer involved and the city.
