Blatant & Wrong: Black Atlanta Cop Fired Over Video Of Him Kicking Handcuffed Woman In The Head

The Atlanta, Georgia police officer who was caught on video kicking a woman in the head has been fired.

APD’s Office of Professional Standards recommended the termination of Sergeant Marc Theodule, and Chief Rodney Bryant agreed, saying:

“I want our officers and the public to know that I do not take terminating employees lightly. But I also understand that the Atlanta Police Department must be held to the highest standards, and with that comes accountability when departmental policy is violated. Considering all the facts, I support the findings and recommendations made in this case.”

Officer Bridget Citizen, the other officer on the scene, was reinstated. The investigation found Officer Bridget Citizen did not violate APD’s Duty to Intervene policy. There was only one kick.
