A South Carolina police officer has been suspended after videos showing him saying a racial slur in a confrontation with people outside a bar were posted on social media.
Sgt. Chad Walker was on patrol in the Five Points area of Columbia around 11 p.m. local time Saturday when he entered a bar and “found several violations of the Governor’s Executive Order to stop the service and consumption of alcohol,” Columbia police said in a news release Sunday.
When Walker, who is white, “communicated the order with patrons and employees, a male is heard calling him a racial slur while leaving the establishment,” the release says. Chief W.H. “Skip” Holbrook plans to release the entire body camera video of the incident Sunday, the release says.
