A Georgia cop has been placed on administrative duties, pending an internal investigation after video surfaced of a July of 2016 DUI traffic stop, where he tries to calm a nervous white driver be telling her she didn't need to worry because police only kill African Americans.
The woman told Lt. Greg Abbott that she was afraid to reach for the mobile phone in her lap because she had seen too many videos of motorists being shot by cops.
"But you're not black. Remember, we only kill black people," Abbott responds. "Yeah. We only kill black people, right? All the videos you've seen, have you seen white people killed?"
The video was obtained by WSB-TV through an open records request.
"We saw the video and we're going to deal with it," Cobb County Chief Mike Register told WSB. "No matter what context it was said in, it should not have been said."
Abbott's attorney responded to the video via a statement to TMZ: "He was attempting to de-escalate a situation involving an uncooperative passenger. In context, his comments were clearly aimed at attempting to gain compliance by using the passenger's own statements and reasoning to avoid making an arrest.”
**UPDATE**
Abbott has been canned from his job with the Cobb County Police Department.
“There’s really no place for these types of comments in law enforcement," Cobb County Chief Mike Register said during a news conference Thursday. "I don't know what was in his heart, but I know what came out of his mouth. In no context can I tolerate this type of language."

Earlier this month Kanye West's company, Very Good Touring, sued Lloyds of London for $9.8 million, accusing the insurance company of failing to honor it's agreement to cover money lost on his cancelled 2016 "Saint Pablo Tour."
West pulled the plug on the rest of the trek after suffering a mental breakdown in November. He subsequently spent eight days at UCLA Medical Center.
In court documents the company claims prescription and illegal drug use were the cause of West's breakdown, which triggered a clause in the policy referring to substance abuse.
In addition, Lloyds says West refused to turn over information it needed to make a determination on whether or not to cover financial losses from the cancelled dates.
Lloyds is asking a judge to rule that it doesn't owe West any money.
West's attorney, Howard King, responded to the countersuit by telling TMZ that it "is the same generic response Lloyd's files when they don't want to honor a legitimate claim but can't find a factual basis to deny the claim."

Brooklyn spitter K. Gaines and producer Maxwell Benson inks new deal with Priority/Captiol Records on highly anticipated EP “Ticket to Elsewhere.” The EP serves as a puzzle piece in a much broader arch of works K. Gaines plans to release over the course of 2017/2018 including subsequent EPs. Each installment will showcase musical styles from distinct regions of the US with feature producers from each region.
Ticket To Elsewhere will push the envelope in hip hop over the course of seven tracks. From the socio - politically charged jungle ruckus of “Riot Gear” to the clever tales of “Glass Ceilings” (featuring Sebastian Marciano from Stereo Off) and major feature with Ras Kass. Ticket To Elsewhere also features work by up and coming Los Angeles visual artist Reef Kills. The artwork for each EP in the series, will form a more intricate visual piece with all the purpose and intention of a map.
“What we have is a beautiful conceptual arc,” muses K. Gaines. “When we blend our sounds, subject matter, and flows, what we are giving you is a ticket to somewhere else. Each EP is a puzzle piece to a different region. ” Benson adds, “We’re not chasing the crowd with this one, it’s an art piece. Not everybody’s gonna get where we‘re going, but we can leave a map in case they want to catch up.”
