This could also indicate some doubt as to Hasselbeck’s status, but I don’t think it necessarily has to mean that he won’t play. Morris started 25 games at the University of Miami and owns the school’s single-season record for total offense (3,415 yards).

“The most reasonable thing to do is to let her sit there and be able to settle down until she felt well. Instead, she is forcibly removed and put in cuffs”, Parks said.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is opening an investigation into the event.
Dawson was the second of nine children.

Dawson’s death comes at a time of increased scrutiny of police conduct and the use of force by law enforcement, particularly against minorities.

Meanwhile, the Calhoun-Liberty County NAACP says they want justice for those responsible for the death. He says they won’t have final answers until autopsy results come in.
