'Everybody from beaters to the paramedics to the regular officers on the scene that stood there and watched is going to lose their job and should,' Brandon Williams said.
"Never once did I put my gun in the face of somebody who I supposed for reckless driving, right? So from the get-go, you have a man who was not guilty of anything fleeing from the police because he's scared because he doesn't even know why he's getting pulled over in such an aggressive manner.Williams went on to say that using a police boot to strike a person in the face was inexcusable.
"There is no way that that is excusable. I don't care who you're fighting. A kick to the face right here, that could be lethal. And unless you're trying to intentionally kill somebody, that is not a tactic that is taught nor should ever be used." "You are just as guilty as the lynch mobs that used to lynch Black people and watched them die and get lynched, even though they never put a hand on them, you are just as guilty," he said.
