The family of Johnny Hollman Sr., who died after being tased by former Atlanta Police Department officer Kiran Kimbrough, held a press conference calling for Kimbrough to be prosecuted and jailed. The Georgia NAACP highlighted the systemic issues within the criminal justice system, including racial profiling and excessive use of force. Hollman's death was ruled a homicide, but Kimbrough has not been charged. The family expressed their grief and frustration, emphasizing that while Kimbrough enjoys the holiday season with his family, they are left mourning the loss of their loved one. The Georgia NAACP is advocating for policy changes to address systemic injustice, including the release of body camera footage within 72 hours and the establishment of independent oversight bodies for law enforcement.
