A North Dakota police officer was fired after an internal investigation into whether he used excessive force in an arrest that left a man bloodied with an eye swollen shut.
The Bismarck Police Department said Officer George Huff was fired Saturday for his actions during an arrest in March.
Huff’s attorney, Christopher Redmann, said that the firing is about a “police department scared of the cancel culture of officers defending themselves if the optic is bad.”
Redmann says Huff was defending himself from a suspect who tried to bite him and grabbed for the officer’s knife.
