DALTON, Ga. (WXIA) -- Two
Dalton police officers were suspended for cursing at a bus full of children,
and the entire incident was captured on video.
It began when a stressed out
bus driver pulled over and warned students she would call police if the
students on board didn't quiet down. Two Dalton police officers responded.
"You want to act like a
bunch of hellions and she can't f****** focus on what she's doing,"
Officer John Gurrieri can be heard saying to the students.
Officer Steven Collins talked
to one student off the bus, using one swear word. Officer John Gurrieri talked
to the rest of the kids, cursing multiple times.
"You want to act like
crazy a**holes, do it at home," Gurrieri is heard saying on the school bus
video.
The Dalton Police Chief Jason
Parker calls this a "serious mistake of judgement."
