Georgia Police Officer Resigns After Forcefully Pulling Eldery Woman From Car

 

The officer "did not perform in a manner that is reflective of who we are as an organization" in the arrest of Rose Campbell, 65, an official said.

A Georgia police officer has resigned following the arrest of a woman whose routine traffic stop escalated into a heated confrontation.

James H. Legg resigned from the Alpharetta Police Department on Friday night over the arrest of Rose Campbell, 65. She was stopped on May 4 after an officer observed her swerve into a neighboring lane.

Dashcam video released by officials after the incident appears to show Legg cursing at Campbell and yanking her arm before cuffing her and pulling her.

After review of the video, Alpharetta Department of Public Safety Chief John Robison said he had "major concerns" about how Legg conducted himself, according to NBC News affiliate WXIA. The officer "did not perform in a manner that is reflective of who we are as an organization," Robison said in a video posted to Facebook.

When it's all said and done I do not care what this former officer said, he was wrong. You do not handle a woman like that, let alone an elderly 65-year-old woman.
