That officer is also the subject of another suit filed by a woman claiming he broke her arm while cuffing her and he has filed a suit against his police chief claiming he hasn’t been getting promotions because he was head of the union… somehow he’s certain it has nothing to do with his history of excessive force given that the city settled yet another suit involving this officer previous to these ones.
* A Savannah-Chatham Georgia police officer has resigned after she was arrested on simple assault charges involving a fight she had with her 15-year-old daughter over a cell phone.Although this appears as an official misconduct report, I call bullshit.

* The Atlanta Georgia police department has finally finished their internal investigation into the 2006 shooting death of 92-year-old Kathryn Johnston during a faulty drug raid on her home.
