In police body cam video from that day, McGrew can be seen lifting his shirt to reveal a tattoo with the words "KING JAMES" emblazoned across his stomach. Authorities found a booking photo on file of James that shows the same tattoo.
According to a police affidavit, McGrew aggressively confronted police during the riot, shouting, "We're coming in here, whether you like it or not," and "Fight with us, not against us."
