This all stems from an incident at the Collegedale Wal-Mart Christmas Eve. According to the reports, Officer Freeman and another off-duty Chattanooga Police officer were walking out of the store, when the alarm sounded.
The greeter reportedly told Freeman to stop and grabbed him on the arm.
The report goes on to state that Freeman was confident the alarm was sounding for a different customer, and not him, so he turned around and told the greeter “don’t be putting your hands on me.” Then, according to the report Freeman pushed the greeter with his left palm.
Lawyer Stuart Brown says as far as he is concerned, the case is resolved and Freeman does not plan to file a complaint against Wal-Mart or the employee.
Brown says his client knows what he did was wrong but calls what the greeter did “an egregious mistake.”

Thug with a badge. Until he’s held to account, he actually IS above the law.
Thanks for the added details.
Given his face, demeanor and record . . . I’d sure not want any daughter of mine marrying anywhere close to such a bloke.
