A Hartford, Connecticut, police officer was fired after authorities investigated a video of him telling a group of young men he might shoot them if they fight or run.
Officer Stephen Barone was answering a suspected trespassing call August 9 when he was recorded questioning a group of young men in the street.
Barone had served in the police department for about 10 years, the Hartford Courant reported.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut, which demanded answers after Barone's traffic stop incident investigation in July, released a statement, calling the firing of the officer "good news."
