A Georgia cop has resigned after a screaming 65-year-old woman was dragged out of her car during a traffic stop. Squad car video shows the cop shouting ‘you’re not in charge, shut the f*** up’ before pulling Rose Campbell out of her vehicle during the heated encounter on Windward Parkway in Alpharetta on May 4.
Campbell’s arrest followed a stand-off lasting more than five minutes during which the driver refused to sign a traffic violation ticket and then ignored repeated requests to leave her vehicle.
The Alpharetta Police Department posted the video on Facebook with a statement from Public Safety Chief John Robinson in which he said the behavior of the officer ‘did not represent our organization’
The footage starts with Campbell’s silver SUV being pulled over by the side of the road, before Officer Michael Swerdlove approaches her to check her license and explain she had been ticketed for drifting from one lane to another.
After hearing she had been ticketed, Campbell asks Swerdlove to call a supervisor, which he claims to have done. But she refuses to sign the ticket – on offense in Georgia – so Swerdlove asks her to step out of her car so she can be arrested.
‘Step out of the car’, Swerdlove says repeatedly, to which Campbell replies, ‘I’m going to wait for your supervisor.’
The exchange then becomes heated as Campbell closes her door on Swerdlove, which he reacts to by shouting at her to leave the vehicle and trying to pull her out.
