A second Georgia officer has been fired after police say video surfaced of him hitting a man in the face.

Gwinnett County police said in an emailed statement Thursday evening that Sgt. Michael Bongiovanni was fired after new video appeared.

Earlier in the day, police announced that Master Police Officer Robert McDonald had been fired after video showed him kicking the same man in the head even though the man was handcuffed on the ground.

Police have said the two officers hit 21-year-old Demetrius Bryan Hollins on Wednesday afternoon during a traffic stop in Lawrenceville, just outside Atlanta.

1. Fire AND prosecute

Or give up the moral high ground.

[chia]

2. Good. Now bring them up on charges.

Firing isn't enough.

3. That second cop that ran up and kicked the guy is an idiot who needs to charged and not just fired

And for being stupid. There are dash cams going and everyone watching has a cell phone with video capability.

Why doesn't this dummy know that by now with all the highly publicized videod incidents lately of cops abusing and even killing black men?

5. I agree!

4. Put the dumb thug ex-cops on trial.

And make sure they're blacklisted from law enforcement jobs for life.
