Dallas Police Chief David Brown said Wednesday that a police officer accused of using excessive force last month has been fired and faces criminal charges.
Former Officer Quaitemes Williams is accused of kicking and spraying mace on Rodarick Dasean Lyles while he was handcuffed during an arrest on Jan. 27.
"The response can't be, when the suspect is defenseless and handcuffed, to kick a person in the head or even to mace a person. We have to be more professional and more disciplined than that," Brown said.
Williams, a three-year veteran of the force who was considered a rookie, also faces criminal charges of official oppression, a Class A misdemeanor.

    • I am originally from Memphis TN and I an not at all suprised by the behavior of the cops. I have been the victum of such tactics more than once, only to be charged with disorderly conduct that was eventually dropped. At the expense of lawyer costs to me and no consequenses to them. I think most cops are corrupt and abuse their power because they can.

    • Cowards three on one? I wouldn't be surprised if this cop got off without any sentence or a light one. There is no justice for police, if a Bart cop can get away with murder, I'm sure this cop will get a slap on a wrist. Oh well, don't expect a reaction from me when a cop gets shot at a traffic stop.
