HAMILTON, Georgia (WLTZ/NBC News) — A Georgia police chief and one of his officers are out of their jobs after body camera footage showing their racist comments during a Black Lives Matter protest were found on body camera footage.
Hamilton Police Chief Gene Allmond and Patrolman John Brooks have both been removed from their positions with the Hamilton Police Department.
Chief Allmond reportedly resigned, while Patrolman Brooks was terminated.
It was believed that the body cameras that officers were wearing at the Black Lives Matter protest in Hamilton in June 2020 were not working properly.
