hands on people since Michael Tarrant showed a Riverdale Police Department ID badge Georgia transparency emailed the Riverdale police chief and asked about his employment the chief said that he's not employed by Riverdale Police Department at this time and that he is a former employee at this point we're unsure if he's actually a police officer at all or just impersonating one but it seems perfectly clear that the Richmond Sheriff's Department isn't going to do anything about any crimes that this guy commits there are tons of interactions that I cut out of this video for time if you want to see the entire thing head over to Georgia transparency or you can check it out from another angle at Georgia constitutional media links to both of their channels are listed below I did not contact the sheriff's department or the Riverdale Police Department that he said he was a part of but I did contact the hospital and here's my call with them and um so you guys don't let patients out to have free time outside um they do but they are a supervised okay so they're under direct supervision while they're outside right yeah all right I was just wondering because I I um I saw one of the patients out a few days ago uh running around um trying to fight with people actually were you aware of that yeah they are supervised so I'm pretty sure that was him pretty sure it was what I'm pretty sure that was handled yeah yeah it was on it was on video though but the the mental patient was running around saying that he was a security guard and a police officer and trying to push people around so you guys got him back locked up or um I'm not sure I don't know okay do you want me to give you his name so maybe you can make sure that he's in a straight jacket right now um actually that wasn't even on this campus it wasn't on that campus I got wrong one yeah so you know which mental patient I'm talking about I do not actually oh okay why'd you know how do you know which campus it is then what about it but it was it was oh okay all right but so you are aware of the mental patient that was acting crazy outside then right um like I said I heard about it but I'm not aware of everything that went on okay all right yeah I just wanted to make sure that someone was aware um because I don't know if you guys are gonna keep letting that guy out or I mean obviously his medication needs to be rebalanced before he gets out again okay
