Case Summary
In August 2021, Officer Magassouba was terminated by the Prince George's County Police Department (PGCPD) after he refused to change his witness statement to protect a White officer who used blatant excessive force during an unjustified arrest of a Black female civilian. The PGCPD tried to cover up its true motives for the termination by launching an Internal Affairs investigation into Officer Magassouba's background, culminating in a ridiculous claim that he failed to list two alleged interactions he had with police in 2001 and 2004 on his employment application.
