By The Associated Press · KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Jul 29, 2016, 10:44 AM ET Share with Facebook Share with Twitter Share Share Tweet Email Email An eastern Tennessee man has died after deputies say he hit his head against the pavement while resisting arrest. Attorney Troy Bowlin II told the Knoxville News Sentinel ( bit.ly/2a4TzJV ) that 25-year-old Anthony M. Edwards of Sevierville was declared dead Wednesday. Bowlin represents Edwards' family. The Blount County Sheriff's Office said in a news release that Edwards resisted a pat down while deputies were investigating a report of "suspicious persons" early Monday near Maryville. Deputies say Edwards continued to fight once he was in custody and kicked a deputy in the groin. Deputy Jerry Burns said as he took Edwards to the ground, Edwards hit his head on the pavement. Deputies noticed Edwards had labored breathing and called for medical assistance. He was taken to a Knoxville hospital, where he died. ——— Information from: Knoxville News Sentinel, www.knoxnews.com Sponsored Stories |

...wonder why this is news?... Cuz when a guy dies in an altercation with cops its newsworthy? Not when he lacks melanin. Outstanding warrant for domestic assault, runs from the cops and even fights them once in custody. Recipe for disaster. |

They didn't shoot him at all... Of course they didn't. He was white. He gets a fighting chance. |
