A white Georgia sheriff's deputy seen in a viral video repeatedly punching a Black man who was pinned to the ground has been fired after the man's family demanded he be released from jail immediately.

The deputies are on administrative leave after the video shows them punching and tasing the passenger of a car that was stopped for a broken taillight.

On Sunday afternoon, officials announced in a statement that"the Deputy who repeatedly struck Roderick Walker is being terminated from the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office by order of Sheriff Victor Hill for excessive use of force." The deputy's name was not immediately released. Sheriff Hill also ordered a signature bond courtesy for Walker, but added that Walker remains in jail because there was a felony probation warrant for him out of Fulton County, Georgia, for cruelty to children and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. There was also warrant on Walker from Hapeville, Georgia, for failing to appear at a court hear on an undisclosed charge, officials said.

Williams said the incident unfolded after Walker, his girlfriend, Janita Davis, and their 5-year-old son dropped off a rental car and were getting a ride home from a ride-share service.

Massive reforms are need to the police!

I'm sure he had charges though

This happens to many people of all races. It shouldn't happen to anyone.

I lost the video that was previously sent. I promised myself I would not comment because I do not like violence.looting/shootings/destruction from the Protests. I'll write when I can find the words. Nothing worse infront of his child. again?Pray police stop.This is wrong.Period!

Now, who are the animals?

Tell the entire story. The police did not just pull this car over and decide to pull this guy out and beat him for no reason, there was a reason for this altercation. Look at the driver sitting there minding his own business. Media stoking the fire again.

It’s always white and black with you people... pathetic! 🐑🐑🐑

Massive search underway for gunman who brazenly walked up to a parked patrol SUV and shot two Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies multiple times in what officials described as an ambush-style attack.

Why is it when the 'victim' is black you make sure we know it but when the 'perpetrator' is black there is no mention of it? Race baiting? Stop letting the MSM help divide us!

“One of the officers is seen punching Walker in the face and body and yelling, 'He bit me.'

“There was also warrant on Walker from Hapeville, Georgia, for failing to appear at a court hear on an undisclosed charge”

Sad The guy was biting him they were hitting him to stop Why do people who resist and attack law enforcement get passes for their bad behavior?

“Walker remains in jail because there was a felony probation warrant for him out of Fulton County, Georgia, for cruelty to children and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon...”

Any doubt the guy being punched wasn't a thug?

Why not charged?

Felony probation warrant. LET MY FELON SON OUT OF JAIL! 🤣

credit blm for giving courage to good cops to not put up with renegades, summarily dismissed is happening more and more. sure there are still problems but gotta start somewhere...

Hey 🙋🏽‍♀️ I make websites, so if you need a designer just hit the link in my bio and & DM me to make it happen 📩

How about Georgia deputy seen repeatedly punching a man who was pinned to the ground has been fired?

Thank God for mobile cameras.

Bad (un)law enforcement folks on steroid. Their profession deserves better ambassadors. All in behind the good ones!

I lived in Russia for 19 months as a volunteer for my church. Police had the right to approach any Russian or any foreigner and demand to see ID. It was frightening knowing they could haul you away at any time, no provocation needed. This should not be allowed in my country!

How the f**k does a passenger in a ride-share vehicle wind up on the ground by police for a broken tail light of a car he wasn't even driving?

Black people stop committing so much crime! Get your s*it together if you really want respect from society BackTheBlue

And people still wonder why people are taking to the streets? NO ONE FUCKING LISTENS! This has to STOP NOW! How the fuck are white cops still beating the shit out of black people like it’s NOTHING?!?!?TrumpsAmerica RacistInChief BLM Racistcops

Doesn’t mean much he will have his job back in a year after arbitration!

And they wonder why people shoot at them.

This is why I want out of this Country! So all you white supporters please tell your hero Trump to return my family and my money so we can leave. Thank you.

This is becoming an almost hourly event these days. TrumpFailed

now cover the attempted execution of cops in LA county, and organized effort to block the subsequent ambulance from taking them to hospital. O'Biden's organized militia is taking things to the next level. BidenRiots

Has the 🇺🇸 administration decided to bring down the 'little unity and freedom of a black man in the States that was fought for by the great minds like Martin Luther, BarackObama Ben Carson. Actually the latter is now in government

That’s not enough. I hope the family sue him

Race has nothing to do with it.

A warrant out for him for cruelty to children and his 'momma' wants him home? He's right where he belongs. And he deserves more than just being punched in the face. For such scum, I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt to the cop that he was right in his actions.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻fired!!

‘A white Georgia sheriff's deputy’ Are we gonna ignore this? Where are my Grammar Police at ?

If it wasn't for social media none would be held kind of accountable.

They better look into that cop’s background and see if he’s part of the proud boys or any other white nationalist group.
