A police chief has resigned after he was filmed defending slavery while his colleague repeatedly used the N-word.
The incident took place in Georgia where Hamilton Police Chief Gene Allmond was discussing Black Lives Matter and slavery with Officer John Brooks during a protest last year.
In a video obtained by WTVM, the pair were heard defending the killing of Rayshard Brooks, whereas Officer Brooks used the N-word while referring to people of color.
Meanwhile, the police chief appeared to defend slavery as he suggested slaves should be happy to receive food, clothes, and shelter in exchange for work.
“‘You didn’t have to shoot ‘em, it’s just a taser,’ then how come when you tase a f***ing n***er it’s like you done killed him 27 times?” Officer Brooks said while likely referring to Rayshard Brooks in his conversation with Allmond.
“The guy’s running, he’s got the taser in his hand, and you see him and he turns, and you see him fire the taser at the officer…”
The police chief then asked the officer what he would have done if the taser hit the cop to which Brooks responded by seemingly defending the officers’ actions saying that “the act of him firing that taser at an officer is an aggravated assault.”
Brooks then shifted the conversation to the Atlanta mayor as he said: “And that Mayor up there? Uh… she’s already fired the officer.
“And um without a hearing, and she’s pushing real hard. They say she’s now the front runner to be Joe Biden’s vice presidential candidate.”
He added: “Because, if I had to f*** a n***er, I’d rather f*** the Mayor than Stacey Abrams.”
The topic then once again changed as Allmond lashed out at BLM protesters saying: “F***. Protests, son of a b**ch. I don’t own no slaves. My folks didn’t own no slaves. You know what are we talking about, 200 fucking years ago?”
Brooks then opened up about his family’s history as he suggested some of his relatives owned slaves.
“Hey, I’ve been doing um, I do a lot of stuff on my family history on My Ancestry and you know we’re all from up north, but there was a small branch of the family that lived in Virginia, which before the Civil War, what is West Virginia, was Virginia,” he said.
“And I did find evidence of some slave ownin’ part of my family. Even though we’re from Ohio and didn’t–nobody up there. But I’ll tell ya, looking at Chris’s family? Holy shit! Man let me tell you what.
“She had a, one relative I can’t remember his name, he was, fought in the Civil War, after the Civil War was over with, he became an overseer at a plantation, he was in charge of all the slaves.
“And there was some article or something about something he did and the paper and the newspaper said that whatever his name was he was known to be the meanest man alive.”
That’s when Allmond chimed in and appeared to defend slavery.
“Well you know what now? This, I don’t know if this has any merit, back in the slave times, but there was a lot them mistreated. I don’t have any doubt about that,” he said.
“But for the most part, it seems to me like, they furnished them a house to live in, they furnished ’em clothes to put on their back, they furnished ’em food to put on their table, and all they had to do was fuckin’ work.”
Responding, Brooks said: “And now, we give them all those things and they don’t have to work.”
The disturbing conversation between the pair was recorded by a body camera and got discovered by a city worker on January 25.
According to WTVM, the police chief and the officer were told to resign or face termination. While Allmond reportedly resigned, Brooks had to be terminated.
