Leftist Georgia Judge Arrested And Dismissed From Bench After Assaulting Police

This is Christina Peterson, the highest paid judge in Georgia. Judge Peterson was just removed from the bench for striking a police officer. Something is seriously wrong in the State of Georgia.

Maybe it's time for America to reconsider the ugly trend of bringing the ghetto into politics and the courtroom? The list of leftist politicians and judges in trouble for corruption and belligerent low-class behavior is growing long. It's painful for many Americans to think about how this reflects on the country overall. If anyone was unsure about our status as an idiocracy, we certainly look like one now.

Case in point, one of Georgia's highest paid (and most infamous) Democrat judges, Christina Peterson, has recently been arrested for assault on a police officer outside a nightclub in Atlanta. Peterson has subsequently been dismissed from the bench, but not just for allegedly striking an officer during the arrest of another woman. She was also investigated and disciplined for dozens of professional violations. Seeing her personal conduct when interacting with police, one wonders how it was possible for such a woman to be in the position to become a judge.

The Atlanta Police Department said Peterson repeatedly brushed the officer's arms away and pushed him twice before he detained her outside the Red Martini Restaurant and Lounge on Peachtree Road. She refused to give officers her name for hours after the arrest.

She now claims that the officer didn't identify himself and that he was engaged in a "coverup" of his "improper acts." The officer's body cam footage appears to indicate otherwise.

An investigation was already underway into 28 accusations of misconduct against Peterson when the incident occurred.

This week, the Georgia Supreme Court issued a decision removing her from office early, with her original term due to end later this year.
