Columbus police officer resigning after video released

A police officer in Columbus is resigning after video from his body camera showed him berating a black motorist during a traffic stop and saying he could shoot into the car if the man failed to keep hands on the steering wheel.
The Commercial Dispatch reports that a citizens’ committee reviewed the video and unanimously recommended that Officer Keith Dowd be fired. Dowd submitted a letter saying he will resign Monday. He had been suspended with pay.
The August 18th video captures Dowd repeatedly asking whether the driver had been smoking marijuana. Dowd said he could ‘empty a magazine into the car’ if the driver takes his hands off the steering wheel.
