A Cobb County police officer, Lt. Greg Abbott, is under investigation after he was spotted on the tape speaking a woman, "Remember, we only kill black people. We only kill black people, right?
According to Channel 2 Action News, Cobb County Chief of Police Mike Register said Abbott has been assigned to pending administrative work on the completion of the investigation.
The record said that the recording was part of a DUI stop and the woman said she was hesitant because she did not want to get killed.
Watch video below:
"No matter the context in which it was said, it should not have been said," Register said. Registry said that although it is not aware of any type of racial discrimination against the abbot before the incident, the police "are not making excuses". "We are faced with this and we are going to deal with it," Register said. Register said the incident took place in 2016 before becoming chief. Lawyer Suri Chadha Jimenez said he believes the officer was being sarcastic after the woman "gave him a little lip." "It makes you shake when you hear it. It's unacceptable," Jimenez said. Abbott's lawyer, Lance LoRusso, gave Channel 2 Action News the following statement: Lieutenant Greg Abbott is a respected 28-year veteran of the Cobb County Police Department. He is cooperating with the department's internal investigation and will continue to do so. Your comments should be fully observed to understand their context. He was trying to slow down a situation that involved an uncooperative passenger. In the context, his comments were clearly aimed at seeking compliance through the use of passenger statements and reasoning to avoid making a detention.
