A 27 YEAR POLICE VETERAN HAS BEEN FIRED FROM CALLED COUNTY
GEORGIA AFTER HE WAS CAUGHT ON ñ CAMP SURVEILLANCE SAYING
SOMETHING THAT SHOULD SHOCK AND UPSET MOST AMERICANS.
I DON'T WANT TO GIVE TOO MUCH AWAY, BUT BEFORE WE GO TO
THE VIDEO SHOWING WHAT HE SAID, LET ME GIVE YOU SOME CONTEXT.
HE APPARENTLY PULLED OVER A FEMALE DRIVER FOR A ROUTINE
TRAFFIC STOP.
THERE WAS SOME SORT OF TRAFFIC VIOLATION AND APPARENTLY
THE WOMAN WAS AFRAID TO MOVE HER HANDS OR PUT HER HANDS DOWN
BECAUSE SHE WAS FEARFUL THAT ANY SUDDEN MOVEMENT WOULD
RESULT IN HER GETTING SHOT.
HIS REACTION TO HER REFUSING TO DO AS HE SAID IS WHAT
EVENTUALLY GOT HIM FIRED.
TAKE A LOOK.
WHY CAN'T YOU?
BECAUSE.
USE YOUR PHONE.
ITíS RIGHT THERE.
I JUST DON'T WANT PUT MY HANDS DOWN.
IíM REALLY SORRY.
I'M JUST -
YOU'RE JUST REALLY DRUNK.
NO, NO, NO.
I'VE JUST BEEN WAY TOO MANY VIDEOS OF OFFICERS -
YOUíRE NOT BLACK.
REMEMBER, WE ONLY KILL BLACK PEOPLE.
YEAH WE ONLY KILL BLACK PEOPLE, ALL THE VIDEOS
YOUíVE SEEN, HAVE YOU SEEN BLACK PEOPLE GET KILLED.
YOU HAVE.
SEEN THEIR FACES.
YEAH.
OKAY.
I'M NOT SAYING YOUíRE A BAD COP.
RIGHT.
THE COP IN THE VIDEO IS OR WAS POLICE LIEUTENANT GREG ABBOTT.
THAT'S HIS NAME WHICH IS KIND OF AMAZING.
HE HAS BEEN FIRED AND THAT IS ACCORDING TO THE POLICE CHIEF IN
COBB COUNTY WHO GAVE A PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY AND HE DID
HAVE SOME STRONG WORDS FOR HIM AS WELL.
1ST, LET'S GO TO THE POLICE OFFICERS LAWYER WHO CLAIMS:
MIKE REGISTER, THE POLICE CHIEF OF COBB COUNTY SAYS:
IF YOU BELIEVE IN RESPECTING THE POLICE, I'M POSITIVE YOU
ARE GOING TO RESPECT THE DECISION OF THE POLICE
CHIEF THAT THIS MAN SHOULD BE FIRED.
1ST OF ALL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S IN ABBOTT'S HEAD.
I DON'T KNOW IF HE WAS SAYING THAT JUST RE-FORWARD.
THAT'S WHAT WE DO.
WE SHOOT BLACK PEOPLE.
WHY WOULD WE SHOOT YOU?
OR IF HE MEANT IT AS, YOU SAW THE VIDEOS ONLINE.
YOU SAW THE VIDEOS.
THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT CLAIMING WE ONLY SHOOT BLACK PEOPLE.
WHAT ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT?
WE ONLY SAW BLACK PEOPLE SHOT.
HE MIGHT'VE MEANT IT THAT WAY.
THAT IS WHY THE POLICE CHIEF DOING WHAT HE DID IS A HUGE
INDICATOR BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE THAT HE WAS LIKE, IF YOU'RE
BEING THE MOST GENEROUS TO HIM YOU MIGHT SAY THE POLICE
CHIEF IS LIKE THIS IS BAD PR.
A DEAL WITH THAT.
ANOTHER POSSIBILITY IS LOOK, EVEN IF THE GUY DIDN'T MEAN
IT THAT WAY, WE CAN'T HAVE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTY THINKING
THAT WE ARE GOING TO APPLY JUSTICE DIFFERENTLY TO DIFFERENT
RACES AND HAVE THIS IDEA OUT THERE THAT THERE ARE COPS
THAT THINK KNOW, DON'T WORRY, IF YOU ARE WHY YOU ARE FINE.
BUT WE WILL SHE BLACK PEOPLE.
THE THIRD POSSIBILITY IS HE TALKED ABERRANT AND IS
LIKE, THIS IS A BAD DUDE.
HE DIDN'T MEAN IT AND I HAVE TO GET RID OF THEM.
HE DIDN'T GIVE EXACT REASONS OTHER THAN WHAT ANA JUST
READ YOU BUT THE FACT THAT HE DID TAKE THAT ACTION IS
CLEARLY INDICATIVE.
RIGHT, NONE OF US CAN SAY FOR CERTAIN WHAT'S IN THAT
POLICE LIEUTENANT'S HEAD AS HE'S MAKING THE STATEMENT.
SOME OF ARGUED THAT HE WAS HIS BEINGS ARE CASTAIC BUT
THOSE ARE NOT THE TYPES OF STATEMENTS YOU MAKE
CONSIDERING THE TYPE OF CLIMATE THAT WE ARE LIVING IN RIGHT
NOW, CONSIDERING THE TYPES OF DEBATES THAT ARE GOING ON
IN THE COUNTRY REGARDING POLICE VIOLENCE AND EXCESSIVE
FORCE AND SO IT WAS A BAD MOVE ON HIS PART.
BUT I THINK THERE'S ANOTHER COMPONENTS OF THAT VIDEO THAT
SHOULD CONCERN YOU AND I THINK IT IS TELLING TO SAY THE LEAST.
THE WOMAN WHO WAS PULLED OVER FOR THAT TRAFFIC STOP WAS A
WHITE WOMAN AND SHE WAS FEARFUL OF THE COP.
SHE DID NOT TRUST THE COP.
SHE WAS WORRIED THAT HE WASN'T THERE TO PROTECT HER OR TO
PROTECT AND SERVE AND SO THINK ABOUT THAT TYPE OF CLIMATE THAT
EXISTS IN THE UNITED STATES WHERE THE PEOPLE THAT WE HIRE AS
POLICE OFFICERS THAT WE PAY WITH OUR TAXPAYER MONEY ARE
INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE NO LONGER TRUSTED BECAUSE OF WHAT WERE
SEEING IN THE MEDIA, BECAUSE OF WHAT WERE SAYING WITH ALL OF
THESE POLICE SHOOTINGS WERE UNEARNED PEOPLE GET GUN DOWN.
I WOULD BE AFRAID AS WELL.
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION.
IF WE WANT THE FEELINGS TOWARD COPS TO CHANGE THEN
OBVIOUSLY THE TRAINING NEEDS TO CHANGE.
THE TYPE OF RHETORIC WE HEAR FROM COPS NEEDS TO CHANGE.
THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ENTIRE REFORM FOR THINGS TO CHANGE.
IT'S POSSIBLE THAT SHE HAD BEEN DOING SOMETHING WRONG,
SPEEDING, JERKING AND DRIVING.
WE DON'T KNOW THE CONTEXT BUT THE CONTEXT OVERALL FOR THE
COUNTRY IS ONE THE ANA JUST DESCRIBED.
IT'S DISPROPORTIONALLY AFRICAN-AMERICANS AS THE STATS
BEAR OUT BUT TO WHY PEOPLE GET SHOT BY COPS FOR HAVING A
SLIGHT WRONG REACTION IN A NANOSECOND?
A COURSE WE KNOW THE HAPPENS.
IN MINNESOTA THAT MOM GOT SHOT WHEN SHE CALLED FOR HELP
FROM THE COPS, WHITE WOMAN THERE.
YOU HAD THE WHITE GUY IN MIAMI, YOU'RE THE WHITE GUY WHO
CAME OUT OF THE CAR AFTER HE WAS ON A HIGH-SPEED CHASE.
OF COURSE WHY UNARMED PEOPLE ALSO GET SHOT AND FOR THE
HUNDREDTH TIME IN A ROW, IT'S THE TRAINING WHERE WE TOLD THE
COPS IF YOU ARE EVEN 1% AFRAID OF ANYTHING.
IF THEY MOVE THEIR HANDS UP OR DOWN PUT THEM DOWN.
NOW WE ARE ALL GENERATE.
ANYTIME WE GET PULLED OVER BY COMPANY GIVES YOU DIRECTIONS
ON WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR HANDS, THERE IS SOME REASONABLE
FEAR OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN NEXT AND THE WAY THE RELAY THAT PHIL
IS NOT TO TELL HER DON'T WORRY WE ONLY SHOOT BLACK PEOPLE.
AT A MINIMUM, THAT IS INCREDIBLY POOR JUDGMENT.
