TL;DR Summary

Body camera footage has been released in the case of an Atlanta deacon who died after being Tased during an arrest over a traffic ticket. The video shows a confrontation between the deacon, Johnny Hollman, and Officer Kiran Kimbrough, with Hollman refusing to sign the ticket and claiming innocence. Kimbrough repeatedly threatens to take Hollman to jail if he doesn't comply, leading to a struggle and the deployment of a Taser. Hollman becomes unresponsive and later dies at the hospital. The officer has been fired for not calling a supervisor to the scene, and the Atlanta police department has changed its policy for traffic citations.
