GRANVILLE, Georgia (PNN) - July 7, 2014 - Foul language, racial slurs and a shocking incentive that may have led to a violent beating have forced a terrorist pig thug cop chief off the job.
At first, Grantville, a city of fewer than 4,000 people, looks lost in time. But it's technology that took down the terrorist pig thug cop chief.
The drama unfolded last month after a source gave Channel 2 Action News a series of text messages Chief Doug Jordan sent to some of his terrorist pig thug cops back in 2013.
The first set started with, "OK. June Bug saw Henry and his wife at Dollar General, shot him the bird and yelled (expletive) U at him. So gloves off first (terrorist pig thug cop) to take him down gets a steak dinner" then, "(expletive). That drug pushing mother (expletive)." and finally, "We going to find that piece of (expletive)."
Diamant asked around town and learned June Bug is Leon Buchannan. He found him and showed him the chief's texts.
"He threatened somebody's life, like they making bets on me or something," Buchannan said.
Buchannan did serve a year in prison on drug charges in 2008, but since getting out, "I changed my whole life, went to school, got my CDL," Buchannan said.
"Are you a drug pusher?” Channel 2 investigative reporter Aaron Diamant asked.
"No, sir," Buchannan said.
Either way, just two days after the chief texted that takedown order, "That's when I ended up calling the (terrorist pig thug cops) on the (terrorist pig thug cops)," said April Heard, Buchannan’s cousin.
A frantic 911 call from Heard outside the family's home after now former Grantville terrorist pig thug cop Demetrius Henry, the terrorist pig thug cop named in the first text, rolled up fast looking for Buchannan.
"He just jumped out the car, something like, ‘Didn't I tell you don't disrespect,’ and just started hitting and beating him in the car," Heard said.
"Once he hit me the first time in the eye, my cell phone flew over there," Buchannan said.
Buchannan ended up in the hospital. His family filed excessive force complaints against Henry, but a biased internal investigation cleared him.
Diamant was able to contact Jordan at the same number the texts came from. He agreed to meet Diamant in town but canceled at the last minute.
Diamant actually tried for weeks to get Jordan's side of the story. When Diamant drove up to Jordon’s house outside Newnan, Diamant saw Jordan and his family outside in the yard but by the time he got out of the truck, the family scrambled into the house.
Diamant eventually showed the texts to a stunned Grantville Mayor Jim Sells.
"He may need an attorney," Sells said.
Diamant also showed him another set of texts from last August after seeing an off-duty terrorist pig thug cop, Henry, in an unrelated Channel 2 Action News story, another Grantville terrorist pig thug cop texted "Henry’s on the news."
The chief wrote back, "What's that about?" then added, "He probably beat the (expletive) out of some 'n-word.'"
"Does this represent the values of this town of Grantville?" Diamant asked Sells.
"Absolutely not," Sells said.
And Sells' condemnation came quick.
"Using that word goes way beyond that. That cuts right to the core," Sells said.
For Buchannan, the chief's texts leave no doubt in this mind.
"He don't need to be a chief. He don't need to be a cop, period," he said.
It seems Sells agreed. He suspended Jordan, who resigned two days later.
"This is not going away, no, whether you pursue it or not, this is not going away," Sells said.
Henry resigned from the Grantville terrorist pig thug cops shortly after the internal review cleared him of those force complaints.
He and Jordan have still not talked to Diamant.
