Report: Video refutes trooper who denied unmasking protester
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A former Tennessee state trooper's insistence that he never yanked the mask off a protester near the state Capitol has been refuted by surveillance footage and an eyewitness account from a fellow law enforcement officer, state records show.A public records request by The Associated Press also revealed a lengthy disciplinary record and an initial recommendation that Trooper Harvey Briggs be fired nearly two decades ago. After Briggs' encounter with the protester, he was fired and charged with assault.The notice of Briggs' termination this summer says a security camera at the Tennessee State Library & Archives provided a different view from the protester's own video.
