Greensboro Police Release Body Cam Footage Of Cop Beating A Man For Sitting On His Mom’s Porch

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Body camera video released shows a police officer using “disturbing,” excessive force, according to city leaders in Greensboro, North Carolina.

After releasing the video, city council members voted 8-0 in favor of a resolution calling for the permanent suspension of former Greensboro officer Travis Cole’s law enforcement certification.

The video shows Cole displaying “wrongful conduct” during an incident on June 17.

When city leaders released the video during a press conference Monday, several people applauded.

The incident began with Cole and another officer responding to a possible breaking and entering call. When they arrived at the house, Dejuan Yourse was sitting on the porch.

Body cameras on both Cole and his partner captured what happened next, now described by police as Cole using excessive force on Yourse, who wasn’t injured.
