The police chief in Atlanta has vowed to clean up the department. The force used by the cop at the airport was totally unnecessary regardless of which race either party is and therefore the firing was justified. Gwinnett on the other hand, if I recall correctly, has not seen change for a number of years. Maybe they need to do just like the City of Atlanta, and bring someone new in and clean house. Killing someone, again, regardless of race, while they are shakeled is awful and inexcusable. I understand that being a cop is a very stressful job and you have to be ready for anything at anytime, but to use that position to take out your aggression or use it to promote your racial views is appalling.
