Police officer smashes man to the ground on suspicion of theft (Police officer dismissed)

A Paulding County sheriff's deputy was fired after being filmed in March 2022 throwing Tyler Canaris to the ground. The incident, described as an illegal use of force, sparked national outrage. Canaris, wrongly suspected of breaking into cars, suffered serious injuries: a fractured skull, head trauma and more, incurring $75,000 in medical expenses. Although the deputy was dismissed, many questions remain as to the absence of criminal proceedings against him
