“An Austin police officer has been fired for shooting at a driver during a traffic stop. On Friday, Chief Art Acevedo said the shooting was unreasonable, especially the way the officer acted after he fired his gun, but the civil rights attorney handling the case says his termination is not enough. Dash camera video shows what happened after James Barton was pulled over at 12th Street and Airport for running a red light back in May. ‘Stay in the car. Stay in the car. Stay in the car,’ yelled Austin Police Department Officer Justin Boehm, who fired one shot as Barton stepped outside of the car.”
