Six police officers in Georgia were put on administrative leave after one officer was reportedly caught on a home security camera saying the n-word.

Officers with West Point Police Department are seen moving around the house porch talking about the homeowner’s son on Aug. 7. As the officers were speaking, they can be heard calling the homeowner’s son the n-word, reported WSB-TV.

One of the officers is also seen on video throwing the homeowner’s front door camera into bushes.

Officers Donald Bramblett, Dylan Harmon, Zachary Heyboer, Sgt. William Osteen and Detective Elizabeth Wegienka will reportedly remain on leave as the Georgia Bureau of Investigation investigates.
