Former police officer, James Burns, may soon be learning what it’s like on the other side because arrest warrants were were issued Friday for the ex-cop who killed an unarmed African American motorist last month.
According to AJC, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard will be seeking an indictment against Burns for felony murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and for just being a bad cop for violating his oath.
Burns was fired on July 1st after the investigation was concluded.
“By reason of the evidence presented by several eye-witnesses, videos, and the findings of the Atlanta Police Department, we will proceed in this case in the same manner as any other defendant similarly charged — arrest, indictment and resolution,” Howard said in a statement.
