Police drag 65-year-old woman from car at traffic stop: Video

A police department in Georgia has opened an internal investigation into why an elderly female driver was dragged out of her vehicle at a traffic stop, according to a Facebook post by Alpharetta police.

"I just panicked. I felt like my heart exploded," said Rose Campbell, 65, in an interview with ABC's Atlanta affiliate WSB. "I didn't expect that in America. I didn't expect that in Atlanta. I didn't expect that especially in Alpharetta."

The Alpharetta Police Department posted a video that included a statement from Public Safety Chief John Robison and video from the squad car video showing the incident, which took place May 4.

"We strive to be a transparent department. If we are going to be 100 percent transparent, that means that we also must be willing to share with you any major concerns that arise regarding employee performance and behavior," Robison said in the video. "There are aspects about this video that simply do not represent our organization."

Fucking idiot racist cops. It's not just a matter of training, it's some of the personality types police work attracts. These short-fuse racists should be screened out with psychological testing in the application process.
