This has to be a record in the firing of a cop. Incident occurred yesterday (6/1) and the officer was fired today (6/2).
Maybe the local police were trying to avert a potential riot.
Most of the time when a department fires some one that fast they lose and the officer gets his job back.
Clean hit. But that’s not part of department procedure. He needs to leave the state.
Nelli b Avenue is not where you would want your college student daughter to live. There is in Athens, Ga. an absolutely huge community of low income racist bigot black people who commit crime on a frequent basis. And so yes, avoiding a riot is a theme of the local politicians. Also, with 32,000 college kids in the town, the concept of a riot by the Black Lives Matter crowd would be bad news for the Chamber of Commerce. Athens is designed to be a college town with no real industrial core. Just cooks, janitors, and store clerks. There is no reason for a college kid in Athens to drop out of school to get a great wage job in Athens because there are none. Not for a drop out that is.
A Caucasian police officer in a vehicle hit a negro suspect on foot - yeah, potential riot in the ‘hood …
I recently saw a YouTube video of a patrolman running his cruiser right over a woman who was fleeing after firing some rounds from a pistol. Looked like he parked it on her body. Cold. Don’t have the URL offhand.
Obviously, not many of them do much running on foot these days.
Here the video of the other incident that I mentioned.

He didn’t hit a baby buggy or a pet dog. Fleeing felon does not get my sympathy.
A car is as good a weapon as a gun.....the perp should not have tried to avoid arrest....too bad!!!
The Cop is screwed. After examining the video, at about 00:25 the cop clearly steers into the suspect at the last second prior to impact.
