Chattanooga Police Chief Bobby Dodd called the police beating of federal inmate Adam Tatum one of the worst cases he has seen in his 25-year career.
“Unfortunately we’re in a situation, in an occupation that’s very volatile, sometimes,” Dodd said in a news conference this morning.
“Sometimes split-second decisions can end your career and actually put you in jail. “But our department, the city of Chattanooga, Chattanooga
Police Department, we do not condone this activity. Nor will it be tolerated.”
Again and again and again, these type of officers loose their cool in a heated situation and use unjustified judgement on the American people. I grew
up in the City of Chattanooga and I looked up to the police department there because I always thought they were the best police department in the
world and grandfather was one of the first African-American police officers who was ever employed by that department.
But in today's world we see this happen more and more often. These officers use verbal commands to order the subject to put his hands behind his back
but he refuses to do so and these officer didn't even use proper procedures make the arrest. In my opinion I don't even think they were even aware
they were under surveillance.
Honestly, this is sad and awful and it will continue to happen until somebody will step in and stop it. ( ya ok..)
