From WSBTV:
HENRY COUNTY, Ga. — An officer was placed on leave after he was arrested, accused of spitting on a woman and calling her a racial slur.Another Georgia police officer, Detective Sgt. Scott Biumi, 48, of neighboring DeKalb County, in a similar incident was sentenced earlier this year for pulling a gun on a young man for allegedly "holding up a McDonald's drive thru line." Despite threatening the man with execution, he avoided jail and was sentenced to 10 years probation and 120 hours of community service. Such caliber of individuals are attracted to being police not to protect and serve but to lord over and dominate. http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=47861
Clayton County police Officer Thomas Sheats faces simple battery, simple assault and disorderly conduct.
He was arrested and booked into the Henry County Jail but has since bonded out.
Henry County police said the incident began June 29 on Highway 155 in Locust Grove. Michele Griffith, 27, said that's where Sheats followed her for miles, blowing his horn, driving erratically and bumping her car.
Griffith said when they pulled into a parking lot where she was going to get pizza, Sheats approached her car and angrily shouted at her.
"Why the (expletive) you going 35 miles per hour on a 45 mile per hour road,” Griffith said Sheats told her.
She told Sheats he could have went around her. She said that's when he really exploded.
"'I couldn't pass, you low life piece of (expletive) (n-word)' ... and (he) spit on me," Griffith said was Sheats' response.
Griffith said she was horrified. She said Sheats was screaming so loud people came out of stores and attempted to block him in until police arrived.
Some people wrote down his tag number, as did Griffith. Police said some of the witnesses heard Sheats cursing at Griffith and using a racial slur. One man said he saw him spit on her.

COWETA COUNTY, Ga. — Foul language, racial slurs and a shocking incentive that may have led to a violent beating: A Channel 2 Action News investigation exposes the threatening text messages that forced a police chief off the job.
At first, Grantville, a city of fewer than 4,000 people, looks lost in time. But it's technology that took down the chief of police.
The drama unfolded last month after a source gave Channel 2 Action News a series of text messages Chief Doug Jordan sent to some of his officers back in 2013.
The first set started with, "OK. June Bug saw Henry and his wife at Dollar General, shot him the bird and yelled (expletive) U at him . So gloves off first officer to take him down gets a steak dinner" then, "(expletive) That drug pushing mother (expletive)." and finally, "We going to find that piece of (expletive)."
Diamant asked around town and learned June Bug is Leon Buchannan. He found him and showed him the chief's texts.
"He threatened somebody's life, like they making bets on me or something," Buchannan said.

A black man drives his biracial wife to work. Suddenly, city investigators accuse him of being an illegal taxi driver for the act. Now he’s suing those who he says wrongfully prosecuted him due to racial profiling.
Dan Keys, a 66-year-old black man, was driving his wife Symone Palermo, a 53-year-old biracial woman to work at a mall in the Queens borough of New York City in the couple’s Lincoln Town Car on May 8, 2013. Palermo, the registered owner of the car, was sitting in the backseat because the passenger seat was damp from rain the previous night, DNAinfo New York reported.
After Palermo exited the car, three investigators from the New York Taxi and Limousine Commission pulled Keys over. They accused the husband of operating an unlicensed taxi because they said they observed him drop off a white female at the mall and that money exchanged hands. “The only reason that the TLC agents stopped Keys was because they observed an African American male driving what they thought to be a white female,” the lawsuit said.
