A jury has acquitted a fired South Carolina police officer of assaulting a Black man during a videotaped 2021 traffic stop the ex-officer later apologized for. “I believe one day Travis and I can come together,” Moreno said. Clips depict Moreno grabbing Price by the chest and pushing him into a nearby fuel tank before officers bring Price to the ground. In a statement, Price’s attorney, Justin Bamberg, said Price was disappointed by the verdict but respected the jury process. Of the six jurors, there was one man and five women, one of whom was Black.
