An Atlanta police officer used a Taser on a church deacon who repeatedly said he could not breathe during a minor car crash response, according to police body camera footage released on Wednesday. Johnny Hollman Sr., the deacon, later became unresponsive and died. His death was ruled a homicide, with heart disease listed as a contributing factor. The family is now calling for the officer, Kiran Kimbrough, to be charged with murder. Kimbrough’s attorney maintains that the officer acted lawfully. The incident has sparked outrage and calls for justice. The video released is graphic and may be difficult to watch. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has completed its inquiry, and it is now up to the Fulton County District Attorney to decide whether to seek charges. Changes to police procedures have been implemented following Hollman’s death.
