Nashville.
A Metro Police officer was charged with misdemeanor domestic assault after a
fight with his girlfriend.
The
girlfriend of Brandon D. Smith, a four-year police department veteran, says he
stuck her in the face during an argument at his south Nashville apartment.
The
29-year-old woman said the argument began while the couple was at a Bellevue
pub and continued after they left. She called police from Smith’s apartment to
report the incident.
Smith,
35, has been suspended of his police authority and is now the subject of a
administrative investigation. His bond was set at $1,000.
Had enough of an 18th
century police operating in the 21st
century? Write to the Speaker of the
House, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC 20515 and
demand federal hearings into the police problem in America. Demand mandatory body cameras for cops, one strike
rule on abuse, and a permanent DOJ
office on Police Misconduct.
