COBB COUNTY, Ga. - Exclusive dash-cam video obtained by Channel 2 Action News caught an officers interaction with a woman who said she was afraid to move her hands during a traffic stop.
Cobb County police Chief Mike Register told Channel 2 Investigative Reporter Mark Winne that after Channel 2 Action News submitted an open-records request, he and his command staff looked at the video.
Remember, we only kill black people. We only kill black people, right? the Cobb County police officer can be heard saying on the video.
On Friday, they opened an internal investigation.

OP
Cobb's population is now pretty diverse but it's still Cobb: home of the antigay 1993 resolution

They should not only fire him, but every other officer that ever interacted with him

Trump is a symptom not the origin of it.

Let's start by getting the white supremacists out of law enforcement first, OK? Then we can talk about removing monuments.

And what's funny is that the asshole who wrote this is not a dot in history. Google him and there's nothing to be found except his part in this and then his Linkedin profile. What a little pissant.

'Twas ever thus. Southern police forces were founded to track down and intimidate runaway slaves.

Trust me, this is not the first time he's made his racism known.
We need to start handling these cases like we did in Boot Camp.
If one person screws up, we all did push-ups until our arms fell off.
Want to send a message? Start punishing those cops who see and hear this shit happening AND DO NOTHING
