A policeman from South Bend resigns after the murder of a black man

A police officer who shot dead a black man in June resigned from the force, according to CNN.

The officer, Sgt. Ryan O'Neill said he approached Eric Logan after receiving reports that a man entered a car and shot him after Logan accused him of a knife. O'Neill's body camera was turned off at the time of shooting.

Chief Scott Ruszkowski said O'Neill resigned on Monday.

"I'm getting his letter of resignation and I will not have any comment for now," Ruszkowski told CNN.

The shooting sparked widespread protests in the black South Bend community.

Judge John Broden of the Saint Joseph Circuit Court has since appointed prosecutor Richard Hertel to investigate the shooting.

County Attorney Ken Cotter said the appointment was necessary to "avoid any appearance of impropriety, conflict of interest or influence over the prosecutor's final decision to take."

Meanwhile, Logan's family sued the city, claiming that O'Neill had used excessive lethal force against Logan and subjected him to illegal treatment because of his race.

"Due to the policies and practices of the Town of South Bend and the unjustified and unreasonable conduct of Defendant O'Neill, the Complainant suffered injuries, including deep emotional distress and ultimately the death of Eric Jack Logan," we read in the pursuit.

The Buttigieg campaign did not immediately respond to a request for feedback from The Hill.
