A police officer in Georgia has left his position after he was recorded on a dashboard camera trying to convince a white woman that she had nothing to worry about during a traffic stop because she was not black.
The Cobb County Police Department said on Thursday that it was “moving forward” with the process to “terminate” the employment of the officer, Lt. Greg Abbott. He retired on the same day, the department confirmed on Friday.
The video, obtained by WSB Channel 2 Action News in Atlanta, shows Lieutenant Abbott standing at the side of a car during a traffic stop last year. He tells the woman, a passenger, that she could use her cellphone.
“It’s in your lap right there,” he says. She replies that she does not want to move her hands, saying she has seen “way too many videos” about how the police behave at traffic stops.
“But you’re not black,” Lieutenant Abbott replies. “Remember, we only kill black people. Yeah. We only kill black people, right?” Georgia cop to driver: "We only kill black people." Video by WSB-TV
WSB-TV published an excerpt from the interaction on Thursday after it obtained the video through an open-records request. Continue reading the main story Related Coverage
Demmtek: Op say the truth what is the fault, i.e the engine as been overhaul before? Like how long do you change the oil weekly or monthly And the tanks as been changed why. Anyway i need only the coil 25k
Add 12k and call me for pick up. The gen is looking old because of dust and I changed the tank because I mistakenly left it under roof and rain entered the tank and made it rust inside, so I got another tank even when I was told I can wash it.
Please I don't have the time and stress of sending Gen, I need someone in Lagos or who is ready to come pick up with mechanic. Bought brand new from Thermacool, I don't use always. In very good condition and clean.
Very sound Generator, Reason for selling, I got a brand new Gen for new year gift. Can power flat comfortably. Worth about 97k presently in the market. In perfect condition. I use for my pumping machine, it carry my two refrigerator and all the fans in my three bed flat and energy saver bulbs. Good buy.
I understand sir but I seek for a matured answer with renowned and truthful experiences. Someone who have gone there and is completely out of it or still doing it and cant help it. PLEASE I NEED ANSWERS

Why do married men do everything possible to impress their mistress than their wife at home, they care more about how their mistress enjoy sex and see their orgasm then their wife at home, who they just make love to her and dont do every styles on bed with her, but do all style on bed to impress mistress... Just a thought ............
