A federal lawsuit was filed in Atlanta, where body cam footage shows Clayton County Police Officer Gregory Tillman breaking down a woman’s door after she refused to give a chess set back to a man who had moved out. All of this happened in front of the woman’s son.
According to news reports, this involved her friend’s ex-boyfriend, who showed up claiming that he had left some items there, including a remote control and a chess set. He called 911 after she refused to let him inside her home.

What? I don't understand is if you're in fear of what possibly could be behind the door why would you force entry? Buy yourself
To me That totally disclaims what you're saying.
That is one lucky cop he would have died if that homeowner was armed and fearing for her safety.
Thank you for your work.

She should’ve fired couple of shots for break in and entering
Why do you Yanks call someone you dont even know Sir? The title Sir must be earned!
How anyone can fly a blue line gang flag is beyond me
Is there a civil rights lawsuit on this case? Seems pretty clear.
Nobody creates this big of a fuss over a remote and a chess set.
There's more to this story.
If anyone of us did something illegal at our work and someone got hurt, we would be fired immediately on the spot. Reform the police.
DUDE, as soon as a person tells an officer that they were living there it becomes a civil case and the officer has NO jurisdiction over it. He should have just told the guy that it is a civil matter and he will have to take her to court for his belonging.
>>>End Qualified Immunity AND Judicial immunity<<< Nobody, NO Human, should be above the law.
Any update???
So let's say I'm just coming home and I'm about to go inside my house when, just as I'm shutting the door, a man (not a police officer) breaks down my door to follow me in. Am I allowed to shoot that man, in that scenario?
If so, would she not have been allowed to shoot that officer for breaking into her house? If the entrance is unlawful, that means it's trespassing, and trespassers can be shot in many jurisdictions.
Wouldn't breaking in someone home and handcuffing them be some kind of attempt kidnapping?
qualified immunity IS NOT A LAW, it is a court decision that the supreme court is too scared to overturn!!!! it NEVER went to Congress or anywhere else and needs to be struck down. we the people had no say!!!
they WILL NOT learn till we take THEIR MONEY AND FREEDOM!!!! the taxpayers should not be paying for blatant stupidity. you cant train stupid.
Any Police Department that would give him a job would be stupid because they're just looking for a lawsuit that is the most dumbest thing I've ever heard of any cop in the right mind knows you don't bust down a door without a search warrant I hope she's Sue for a few million dollars I hope he does not get his immunity and I hope she goes after the police department and the city cuz all of it is wrong he should be fired immediately!!!
is this STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR CLAYTON COUNTY POLICE OFFICERS ? CLAYTON COUNTY POLICE DO NOT NEED A SEARCH WARRANT TO SMASH DONE YOUR FRONT DOOR . CLAYTON COUNTY POLICE OFFICERS KNOW THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW
a simalar thing happened to a kid in my neighborhood when i was young, except the kid who didn;t like his mom being roughed up by the cop so he came downstairs with a baseball bat and smashed the cops head in, it literraly smashed his head in, the cop needs round the clock care he has severe brain damage, can,t even feed himself. the kid went to juvenile jail.
Back when I went through the Police Academy, donuts used to be square…they later made them round for "Officer Safety".
we should disarm police that engage with civilians and keep a swat team at the station in case theres a shooter. just like we keep the firefighters at the fire station instead of letting them go around and start fires to put out (altho sometimes they still do). firefighters dont "fear for their lives" and need to carry a gun because they actually serve and protect.
she has a payday coming, and I don't mean candy bar payday, the cop should be arrested, he committed three or four felonies.
DUHHHHH! That a small claim civil matter. Judge Judy stuff.
Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16 ESV
Are we allowed to shoot the person breaking into our home if they kicking our door down without a warrant ?
This is exactly what I do when I fear for my safety , I break down a door and go into someone's house.
Until police departments nationwide require officers to carry individual “malpractice insurance” like physicians, this will never change. Ever.
Police departments will never learn. As I have pointed out before, Body cams have done nothing for some cops just shows how stupid some of them are. They will wait till this cop does something really FN bad before they do something about it. I'm sorry, Maybe do something about it.
The problem is, Officer Tillman will not pay a single cent out of his pocket. The poor, hard working Taxpayers are going to be on the hook for all of it. Actions like this need to be coming out of the officers pockets, then this stuff will decrease, not before then.
WHY!
These idiot cops charge her for criminal trespass on her own property? You can't get any dumber. Oh and "feared for my safety" is just the magic words they use to justify their crimes. Pathetic. Qualified immunity needs to go!
Breaking into a house in Northern Georgia sounds dumb. Don't they have lots of guns at home
"additional training" should be default for all police. Then they can fire these crap officers right away… knowing that training is not going to fix them.
This egotistical cop should be fired and sued.
that PoC cop should be fired and IN JAIL!!!
Without a badge, that would get you a lengthy jail sentence. With a badge it will get you a mild slap on the wrist.
Why do we even need cops, It's too difficult to tell who the criminals are.
Police begging for the hate and pushing for a war, they would hate to end up with both, cause someone that's hate someone ain't gonna fight fair. All I can say is stand up or duck down.
Assault and battery/ kidnapping 4th amendment violation. Thug needs prison time. Just a total jerk of a cop. Fire sue take everything he owns or will ever own.
If qualified imunity completely removed cops would have to actually consider their actions…remove qualified imunity
Qualified immunity was designed to protect a cop from being in a high speed chase and hitting a large crowd of mothers strolling their babies. Or shooting at a bad guy and missing, while killing bystanders. Not for doing illegal shit. A cop without a warrant would rarely ever have just cause to break down a door. Perhaps if the house was on fire. But if I were inside a house & anyone kicked the door in regarding a chess set, in my mind, I would be certain that regardless of how he is dressed is not a cop. As s hime intruder he will bf treated as such.
Military asalt tactics is what there taught not training
Thank you for your great work ! 👍👍
Imagine for a second, that the attacker is not a cop. He would be charged with breaking and entering, burglary attempt, aggravated assault, etc. Why this cop was not charged at all?
Officers like this should be fired! It's jack boot tactics like this that no wonder people are so untrusting of police!
This guy is STILL a cop?! There is no way this guy has the maturity to be a police officer.
This is one of the reasons why we must pepper spray corrupt Police Officers. The woman should have pepper sprayed this corrupt Police Officer.
Sue the s*** out of all of them
DONT TRUST POLICE/CRIMINALS WITH BADGES! My friend was driving and pulled over by police in Caledonia, Wisconsin. They charged him with a DUI, It's driving under influence of something, my friend got charged with it and he was clean. Took his blood, blew in the thing, chemical swabbed his money and found methamphetamine on 1 of his dollars, so they charged him with dui and for possession of methamphetamine which they chemical swabbed his money so they had no weight lol and also charged him with paraphernalia for the dollar it was inside of! He lost his 28 hour job, almost his storage with his 50000 worth of snap-on tools and his harley motor cycle, his newer chevy truck got impounded. If I didn't get my boss to bail him out for $10000 cash bail, he would of lost all that! Attorneys fees were 6000 and he's still fighting it, for 6 months now, every 2 weeks they make him do a drug test which is 140 bucks, he has no job, can't get a job with all the court dares and having to go to drug testing. Courts said they are waiting on blood test, well it just came in after 6 months and didn't have a thing it! He's still fighting it to this day! The prosecutor,, judge and cops are all tyrannical criminals! Guy did nothing wrong but they ruined his life over a tragic stop! This needs to stop! They set these busts up so it furthers their carreer and they use previously convicted people because they know they are broke and cant fight it. Help us someone? You don't want what happened to my friend because of a rookie pig trying to move up in the ranks on getting a big bust. Thanks for reading, I will get my friends story to go viral if I have to waste every moment of my life trying…. we need to expose these bad attorneys, bad prosecutors, bad judges for letting this happen and the criminals with badges that caused this! The judge, the prosecutor for not finding this case idiotic and thrown out, that makes them a accessory to a crime for his civil rights! and my friends idiot attorney that charged him 6000 bucks to do nothing!! She should of had it thrown out on lack of evidence! I will not rest until all involved are exposed and fired! Please help our struggle and pass this on. Thank you, together in numbers we can move mountains!
That idiot cop should be fired immediately, decertified and charged with breaking and entering and assault.
And anything else her lawyer can think of .
