In April, Walker said an Atlanta police officer approached her and told her to move. “He came right here and said we had to move, and I said ‘What reason do he have to move?’ ” Walker said. She said the officer told her, “Because I said so.” Walker claims she stood and told the officer she was going to call his supervisor.

“That’s when he grabbed me. My ice cream fell and my phone fell,” she said. Walker said that’s when the officer put her on the ground. Walker has photos of the incident. Walker said the officer sprained her shoulder in the process, and she had to be taken to Grady Memorial Hospital.
After she was released, Walker said she was taken to jail on a charge of disorderly conduct. A prosecutor later dismissed the charge. Walker filed a complaint with the Citizens Review Board. The board ruled that the officer made a false arrest and recommended a three-day suspension. So far, no action has been taken.

A three day suspension seems a bit small. If the officer has such bad judgment maybe he should be sitting behind a desk.
Suspended!? It would be my guess, that this policeman is a bit mentally unstable--with an IQ of maybe 60, and needs to be promoted!
Bad day, bad judgement and someone mouths off..
Three days suspension is still leanient.

You have the right to know why you're being told to move. "I said so" Is not justification.
If He had said "you're blocking the street." Instead of pulling the I'm a cop I'm right you're just a civilian she probably would've moved.
That's nothing compared to this.
The damage done to community relations alone warrants more than a three-day suspension.
The cop is basically getting a free holiday for being a total a55hole.
