Summary
ATLANTA — An attorney for Roderick Walker, a 26-year-old Black man who was repeatedly punched by a Georgia sheriff's deputy during a traffic stop just south of Atlanta, is demanding that authorities file criminal charges against the officers involved and conduct an independent investigation. "They committed an aggravated assault on this man and luckily I'm not talking to you about Mr. Walker's death." The deputy who punched Walker has been fired for excessive use of force, the Clayton County Sheriff's Office announced Sunday.Williams said the second deputy should also be terminated and both should face assault and battery charges. Williams said Walker was illegally arrested and police are using his warrants to "deflect from their horrendous acts." "Roderick Walker is in jail solely because he was illegally arrested after being assaulted by Clayton County Sheriff deputies, not because of anything he did during that incident or in the past," Williams said.
