Hamilton, Georgia, Police Chief Gene Allmond has resigned and Patrolman John Brooks has been fired after the two were caught on Brooks’ body cam repeatedly using the n-word, while discussing a Black Lives Matter protest. The officer had believed his body cam was not working, but when another city official examined the camera he found it actually had a full memory card, which included the conversation between Allmond and Brooks.
