Atlanta Police Officer Relieved of Duty after Video Shows him Punching Man in Head






Untitled-1-4

A video shared by the Facebook account of Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta on June 23rd, 2017, shows a police officer in an Atlanta Police Department uniform punching a restrained man in the face and upper torso while he sits on his back.

All the while one of his co-workers hold the victim’s feet and another has his knee pressing down on the lower back with all his weight, also there is the fourth police officer that is doing nothing but standing there watching everything happen right at his feet.

All this force used to arrest a person who appears to be less than 150lbs and lying face down on a roadway median of dirt.
Anyone who has been in a situation like this knows this is not a position of leverage or control. So what is it incompetence, lack of training or just another “Bad Apple?”.

The man evidently not resisting arrest and is clearly already restrained. It appears to be yet another unjustified assault by an American police officer but the details are unclear at the moment.

Hopefully, someone will share the information faster than the Public Records Process with the Atlanta Police Department. Any tips, leads or any sort of information please reach out to us on the Filming Cops page on Facebook.
