Johnny Hollman Sr., a 62-year-old Atlanta church deacon, disputed a traffic citation and requested a supervisor after an August 2023 collision. The encounter became physical, an officer used a Taser, and Hollman later died. Brad Graves examines the original Atlanta Police Department footage, the officer’s explanation of the signature requirement, and the supervisor procedure at the center of the later review. Atlanta approved a $3.8 million settlement with Hollman’s family in May 2024. This episode explains the officer’s firing, the Civil Service Board decision, the August 2025 grand-jury decision, and the limited meaning of an April 2026 order allowing an employment appeal. A civil settlement, employment discipline, and a grand-jury no-bill decision answer different questions. This episode separates those outcomes. 📘 GET THE KNOW YOUR RIGHTS PLAYBOOK: https://rightsplaybook.gumroad.com/l/know-your-rights-playbook Practical wording, traffic-stop guidance, and evidence-preservation material to review ahead of time.
