The Cobb County Police Department is moving to fire a police officer after he was caught on his dash cam saying that, “We only kill black people,” on his dash cam:

The Georgia police officer who was captured on camera telling a woman during a traffic stop that law enforcement personnel “only kill black people” says he’ll retire amid the backlash.

Lt. Greg Abbott announced his intent to leave the Cobb County Police Department on Thursday, after his superiors told him he would be fired, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

It is unclear whether officials would accept Abbott’s resignation or follow through with their plan to terminate him. With nearly 30 years of government service, the distinction could have a profound affect on his retirement benefits. Spokespersons for the police department did not immediately respond to a message from The Washington Post.

Of course, this video is over a year old, and nothing was done until it went viral.

As the saying says, “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes”
