In Tennessee, the Knoxville Police Department has launched an internal investigation after an off-duty officer was knocked unconscious for allegedly making racist remarks.
While attending a wedding reception, Officer Tanner Holt reportedly told a Black man there he “didn’t know they let Black people in the reception hall.”
Witnesses say Holt continued to badger the Black man with racist comments.
After repeated pleas with Holt to stop, the Black man punched him, knocking the officer unconscious.
Holt was transported to UT Medical Center for treatment.
No charges have been filed in the incident, and the Knoxville police department has not stated if or when Holt will return to duty.
