Protesters in Georgia have gathered at the Clayton County Justice Center to call for the indictment of a former Clayton County police officer who lost his job after cellphone video proved that he lied in a police report to justify hitting a man.

Police officers received a call of a burglary in progress in May 2014. It was later determined that it was just Dhoruba Bin-Wahad, 69, moving into a new home.

Former Officer Ryan Hall claimed in his police report that Bin-Wahad was uncooperative.

Cellphone footage contradicting Hall's report led to an internal investigation. The video shows Hall slamming Binwahad to the ground.

"They can watch the video and see that he was brutalized," attorney Mawuli Davis said.

A crowd of protesters with signs reading "Black Lives Matter" has been at the Justice Center in Clayton County since Tuesday night, and they plan to continue their rally until the officer is indicted.

"I don't think he understands the full significance of what he did, and he probably believes in his mind that he was right," Bin-Wahad said.

The grand jury is hearing more testimony in the case.
