Georgia Cop Fired Out The Cannon After Confrontation With Homeowner!

The scene where a woman is shoved to the ground and tased by a former Georgia cop.
What showed up on TikTok got a Gwinnett County cop off the beat. He is shown using a stun gun on Kyndesia Smith while she was sitting on her porch. The latest incident that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is working on. They have over 10 cases involving police encounters.

The officer shows up at the Loganville home on Tuesday after a neighbor called the law on a group of people who allegedly threw a bottle at her car.

The cop, Michael Oxford shows up to the home.



Oxford confronts Smith on her porch on a report of a vandalism. Police were given the description of the suspect to resemble Smith. While on her porch, Smith and her mother Aytra Thomas denied throwing at a person vehicle and told him to leave their property.

Soon an argument ensues.

Smith could be heard saying: "You're on our property. We did not call you, I'm not going anywhere."

Oxford then decides to arrest Smith which led to her replying: "I'm not resisting, you're not touching me."

Oxford then grabs Smith's arm and a struggle ensues as he attempts to place her in handcuffs, prompting screams from the other women.

After failing to detain her, the cop orders Smith to the ground by deploying his taser.

When she refused to cooperate and resisted arrest, Oxford pulled his Taser and shocked her. Smith then fell into some bushes.

When the officer tried to place the woman in the car, she head-butted and kicked him.

An internal investigation of the incident found that Oxford had justification for the woman's arrest and shocking her with his Taser when she resisted but investigators concluded that officer didn't follow de-escalation procedures and that his general personal conduct, including the use of a curse word, was unacceptable.

"Gwinnett County police officers have a duty on conduct to interact with the public in a kind, considerate, and patient manner. Based on the video, we do not believe Officer Oxford displayed the conduct we expect from officers in Gwinnett County," said Cpl. Collin Flynn with the Gwinnett County Police Department.

Thomas, witnessed what happened and said the officer was aggressive from the moment he approached them.

"When he came up he said, 'You all need to shut the fuck up,'" Thomas said.

She also said the officer shouldn't have used the Taser, especially while he was so close to her.

"I didn't threaten him. She didn’t threaten him. She told told him she didn't want to talk. I didn't want to talk. I didn't have to talk," Thomas said.

Despite the cannon firing of Oxford, the woman still faces criminal charges. She is facing battery on a police officer after she headbutted him and resisted arrest.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

In Georgia, battery on a police officer could be a misdemeanor or a class D felony which is punishable for up to three years in the iron college.

Investigators said they conducted a three-pronged investigation into the officer. They said they addressed concerns about the arrest of the woman, the use of force, and the conduct of the officers.
