A rather disturbing ruling by prosecutors was handed down this week claiming that an officer broke no law when he mowed down an unarmed fleeing man with his car.
Clarke County, GA — A Georgia police officer, who was fired from the department after body camera footage showed him pursue and then run a man down with his police cruiser, has just been cleared of any criminal wrongdoing. The chase happened in June and following outrage from the community the officer was removed from the force. However, new outrage is likely following this ruling by prosecutors.
According to investigators, Officer Taylor Saulters with the Athens-Clarke County Police Department was attempting to serve a warrant for a probation violation to Timmy Patmon. When Saulters and his partner arrived, Patmon fled the scene.
A chase ensued as Saulters pursued Patmon on foot and then got into his patrol car. Patmon continued running as Saulters chased him down in the cruiser.
The chase quickly came to an end, however, as Saulters is seen turning the car toward Patmon before he goes flying over the windshield.
Patmon’s mother, Tammy Brown-Patmon watched the entire incident unfold and feared the worst after watching Patmon go flying over the cruiser.
