This bullshit is so stupid. I can't believe the NAACP wants an abuser of children released because a cop beat his ass.

I'm not saying the cop was right or wrong. Maybe the cop recognized him, and knew he was evil, just didn't know his name. The NAACP is looking real bad here, protecting a real scum bag.

Deputy fired after punching Black man repeatedly during arrest

By Peter Martinez

A Georgia sheriff's deputy has been fired after disturbing videos show him repeatedly punching a Black man during an arrest on Friday night, authorities said Sunday. Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill said an investigation has been launched and the unidentified deputy was let go due to "excessive use of force."

The incident happened when an unmarked police vehicle pulled over a vehicle for an alleged broken taillight, according to CBS affiliate WGCL-TV. Roderick Walker, 26, was a passenger in the back seat, along with his girlfriend, 5-month-old daughter and a stepson, according to The Associated Press. Walker was asked to show identification, but he questioned the request because he wasn't the driver. That's when Walker was asked to exit the car and an arrest by two White deputies took place.

Video posted online shows one deputy repeatedly punching Walker in the face as he was pinned down. At one point, Walker's nose started to bleed before was turned over to be handcuffed. A child in the vehicle can be heard yelling "Daddy." Walker's girlfriend is also heard in the video yelling and telling the deputies that Walker can't breathe.

Hill said in a statement that Walker cannot be released from jail because of a "felony probation warrant out of Fulton County for cruelty to children, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and a failure to appear warrant out of Hapeville which resulted in Magistrate Court denying him a bond."

In a photo released by Walker's lawyers on Sunday, a visible welt can be seen under his eye and that he is "being monitored at the jail hospital by a doctor," according to Hill. WGCL-TV said the sheriff's office has not released any bodycam video or provided additional details of Walker's arrest.

The Georgia NAACP has called on Sheriff Hill to release Walker immediately and urged the Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI) to "conduct a thorough and independent investigation," according to a statement.

Hill said that a criminal investigation has been turned over to the Clayton County District Attorney's office. Clayton County is south of Atlanta.

"Roderick Walker is in jail solely because he was illegally arrested after being assaulted by Clayton County Sheriff deputies, not because of anything he did during that incident or in the past," attorney Shean Williams of The Cochran Firm, who is representing Walker, told CBS News. "Mr. Walker would not be in jail if it were not for this unlawful arrest that violated his legal and constitutional rights."
