OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Newnan PD saw a Corvette with dark window tint and took up chase. The chase escalated until the man stopped. Police released a K9 and allege that he exited the car and came toward them with a knife and injured the K9.
Bystander video later showed a very different narrative in which the car stopped at the end of the chase, deputies are seen busting out the car windows, sending a K9 into the vehicle that dragged a black man out. The man ran away from the car to escape the dog that was biting at his arm. His arms were pointed downward in gestures protecting his body from the attacking dog and on video, he had no visible weapon and shielded against the dog attack. Police shot and killed him. Media submitted the privately acquired heavily edited BWC footage that edited the killing out while police refuse to provide any video or reports at all. The initial police story was proven by video to be untruthful.
