Phoenix police officer involved in viral video stop of couple fired

When does this stop? It's time to #ProtectAndServe. "Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams has fired the officer involved in a viral cellphone video depicting him threatening to shoot at a family. The video, recorded by a bystander on May 27, shows Phoenix Officer Christopher Meyer pointing a gun at a car occupied by Dravon Ames, his pregnant fiancee, Iesha Harper, and their children. In the video, Meyer can be heard yelling, "You're going to get f--king shot," when Ames didn't immediately open his vehicle's door. The officer also told Ames, "I'm going to put a cap in your ass." A second officer, who police did not identify, received a written reprimand. Williams described the officer's actions as trying to de-escalate the situation. The announcement of Meyer's firing during a Tuesday news conference came at the same time Phoenix police announced the firing of Clinton David Swick after an unrelated investigation into his Facebook posts."
