Things Are Not Always As They First Appear The Officer Terence Alexander Story



May 26, 2005 -- Officer Terence Alexander was doing his job patrolling traffic at the Hartsfied Jackson International Airport asking drivers to move from the curb. All of the cars moved except the SUV driven by a woman who indicated she had gone around four times and that she was not going to fing move. Officer Alexander explained that with Home Land Security she could not park on the curb. He asked her several times to move her SUV. When she refused officer Alexander asked for her drivers license and insurance. Rather than provide the documents requested she began to back up to leave when the mirrow on the SUV struck officer Alexander on the elbow and the radio at his waist causing injury to the elbow and shoulder.

Officer Alexander was refused medical transportation on the scene by his superiors who released the driver causing speculation about who the driver knows politically that would enable her to strike an officer with a vehicle while attempting to leave the scene and still be released.

There are videos of the incident that are believed to be altered. The audio tapes of the incident have been withheld by the city of Atlanta police department as of todays date.

Witnesses indicated that Officer Alexander remained calm during the arrest. The driver indicated that he screamed at her until these witnesses came forth and said that she was screaming at the officer but that he remained calm. The driver indicated that Officer Alexander slammed her to the ground until witnesses came forth and stated that he definately did not slam her.

With credible witnesses in favor of Officer Alexanders position the City of Atlanta Police Departmet terminated Officer Alexander. Officer Alexander has appealed his termination to the civil service board and will file a series of other actions against the city.

Office Alexander is a husband and father of two children. His grandmother upon seeing reports that the driver wrongfully indicated that he slammed her to the ground began to experience heart problems.

Officer Alexanders faith in God and in his fellow uniform officers in the city of Atlanta, in Georgia and around the country has enabled him to keep going with a determination to be vindicated in this situation.
