Trial begins for Atlanta Black Cop who Tried to Please His Masters by Assaulting Another Black Man @ Walmart

From [HERE] An Atlanta Police Department sergeant who allegedly broke a man’s leg at a Walmart in 2014 had his first day in federal court Tuesday as his excessive force trial began.

Trevor King, of Rex, was indicted last year after the victim pressed charges, more than two years after King allegedly broke the leg of the man — a customer King incorrectly believed to be shoplifting, prosecutors said.

King was working off-duty at the time. He was in uniform at the store on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard downtown when he stopped the customer, grabbed his shirt and started to strike him with his baton, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a December 2016 statement when King was indicted.

When APD became aware of the indictment, King was put on paid administrative leave. He has since retired, an APD spokeswoman said Tuesday. That retirement took effect in January.
