A Georgia sheriff's deputy who fatally shot a driver in a roadside struggle has been involved in other traffic stops that spiraled into violence.

Last year, Aldridge dragged a driver from a car that crashed after fleeing the deputy on Interstate 95. Body and dash camera video obtained by The Associated Press show the driver on his back as Aldridge punches him. Records indicate the deputy faced no disciplinary action.

Personnel records show Aldridge was fired in August 2017 by a police department in the same Georgia county after he threw a woman to the ground and handcuffed her during a traffic stop. The Camden County Sheriff’s Office hired him nine months later.

    The fucking nine month shuffle. Like giving an authority abusing monster the better part of a year to drink about it and a shiny new badge will fix a god damn thing. Fuck this microwaved Seinfeld looking shithead.
