Ellison told family members he was handcuffed when police pulled him out of a car, slammed his head on the trunk and then knocked him to the ground.
The report tells a different story.
It states Ellison was drunk and struck one of the officers twice and that he was injured when the officer fell on top of Ellison while trying to bring him under control.

but that was just the beginning, his attacks continued at two other nearby sites---
One at another women's clinic in atlanta, and then a gay
