ATLANTA (AP) — Police say an officer shown on video telling a black motorist he doesn't care about "your people" has been disciplined and reassigned.

In a letter dated Nov. 24, Cobb County police Capt. J.D. Adcock apologizes to the driver, Brian Baker. Adcock says an investigation found that the officer violated the department's code of conduct. The officer is referred to only by last name.

Dashcam video shows the Nov. 16 traffic stop northwest of Atlanta, in suburban Cobb County.

The officer is heard telling the motorist "I don't care about your people" after issuing traffic citations. The officer also says, "Leave. Go away. Go to Fulton County." Atlanta is in Fulton County.

2. Aww geez.

If there's one thing I hate about the information age, it's the rapid amount of news that I receive confirming how fucking stupid everyone is at all times.

Ignorance was bliss.

we are all part of the human race. We are all each others' people.

13. The conservative mind-set deals almost exclusively in claiming that some count and others don't

Can be about race, sex, religion, how much money you have...

But the whole point of conservatism is to determine the 'ins' and the 'outs'.

(And to deny the 'outs' the most basic of human needs)

In other words, if there were a general acceptance that we're all each others' people, then whole world would be progressives.

So glad the problem was resolved in such a complete and thoroughly satisfying manner.








That was sarcasm.

6. Remember folks. BLM are the real "bullies" for complaining about this type of treatment.

7. Reassigned? The cop should be fired

8. So like the pedophile priests

he's just being shuffled around to be someone else's problem. Fucking Georgia.

9. I would have said, "Which ones?"

"The female people, the left-handed people, the Gemini people, or the metalhead people?"

10. messing around with a cop

is not the way to go. Not unless you enjoyed being pummeled by a night stick, and hauled off to jail, for "resisting arrest". If a cop doesn't like the way you are addressing him, even with wearing a body camera, you could still get your ass beaten.

Beaten or killed.

12. lately its been
