Viewer discretion advised
A Georgia police officer has lost his job after dashcam video from his patrol car captured him plowing into a suspect with his car during a chase.
Taylor Saulters of the Athens-Clarke County police department, who was initially suspended after the June 1 chase, was fired on Saturday, his department announced in a statement.
The decision followed a department review of the video that showed Saulters driving after 23-year-old Timmy Patmon, who was running on foot through a neighborhood while wanted on a felony probation warrant.
