Fort Worth Officer Fired; Video Shows Handcuffed Man Thrown to Ground

"When force is exercised without justification or restraint, it undermines the confidence and trust in law enforcement,” Fort Worth PD said in a statement announcing the firing. "In this case, Officer miller did not conduct himself in a manner that represents the professionalism of our officers.”

Fort Worth pastor Kyev Tatum, who has been outspoken about his desire for the U.S. Department of Justice to implement reforms within FWPD, reviewed the newly released video. Tatum said he agreed with Noakes' decision to fire Miller but questioned the timing of releasing the findings late on a Friday. "By them releasing it a 3 p.m. on a Friday says they don't want the media to bring any news to this case," Tatum said."Once people really look at that video they're going to see another case of a total disregard for Black life."

Miller was hired by the department in 2017 and worked in patrol. The findings released Friday stated Miller was disciplined previously for violating general orders of the department for contact with a prisoner, but the statement did not specify when or the nature of the contact.

And then he goes to work at another precinct...🙄 That's just as bad as the Catholics moving around their pedophile priests. Removing them from one job location isn't the solution, ffs.
