Off-duty GA police officer arrested for road rage assault, calling victim a low-life n*gger
A Clayton County, Georgia, police officer has been arrested and placed on administrative leave following a road rage incident where he allegedly tailgated a woman in her car before following her into a parking lot, where he called her a low life piece of [expletive] n*gger, and then spit on her.
According to police, Sheats tailgated a car driven by Michele Griffith, 27, for miles, blowing his horn, swerving from side to side, and bumping her vehicle from behind with his truck.
Griffith said that after she pulled into a parking lot, where she was going to get pizza, Sheats approached her car screaming at her
Why the [expletive] you going 35 miles per hour on a 45 mile per hour road, Griffith said Sheats yelled at her.
After telling him that he could have gone around her, the off-duty police officer exploded in anger.
I couldnt pass, you low life piece of [expletive] n*gger and (he) spit on me, Griffith said.
According to Griffith , Sheats was screaming so loud that patrons came out of some of the stores and attempted to block his truck in until police arrived. Witnesses told police they heard Sheats cursing and using the n-word, and one witness saw him spit on the woman.

Finally! A cop arrested and suspended "without" pay! I hate when cops pull insane shit and get suspended WITH pay.
What's the over/under on him keeping his job after this? Sadly I think he'll be back at his job in a week.

... it's an act of aggression.
Depending on your locale, driving at the speed limit, or only 20% over the speed limit, is a potential capital crime. My personal experiences have not encompassed driving while Black, but I suspect the penalties multiply.
A small price to pay for living in the land of the free,
I suppose.

After all, "Sheats was arrested two years ago for domestic violence," and is still a cop! What will they do to him for shouting at someone and spitting on her? Probably nothing.
Lucky for her he wasn't in uniform at the time. She'd probably have been beaten and then arrested for "resisting" or another bogus made-up charge.
