While he is now under criminal investigation, his superiors on the force squelched an internal affairs complaint and explicitly approve of his conduct.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">&#8220;What kind of a human being kicks a pregnant woman? I mean, forget whether or not it is a police officer that is supposedly protecting people,&#8221; Dozier&#8217;s attorney Mark Bullman said. Dozier filed a complaint with the DeKalb police department&#8217;s internal affairs unit, but it was never investigated. Instead, four supervisors and an internal affairs detective signed off that Wheeler&#8217;s use of force met policy. &#8230; Fleischer filed an open records request and found two more use-of-force complaints against Wheeler within the last nine months. In all three cases, the victims were not the focus of the original police incident.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Wheeler was accused of twisting a 53 year-old woman&#8217;s arm in 2011.
