I’m glad they are walking out and they should stay gone. Atlanta city government has no respect for the.

Atlanta police may be walking off the job en masse right now - Rayshard Brooks police shooting

Absolute lunacy. What they are doing is setting up cities to be mini "failed states" much like Libya. What happens when individuals in those cities coalesce into a fighting force?

No due process, immediate prosecution, constitutional rights ignored...If I was in law enforcement and worked for a Democratic Mayor who allowes for her city to burn, I would walk too before I found myself in jail for life or worse dead just for going to work.  These men and women in blue could get a job working at Amazon and make more money and not worry about not coming home to thier families at the end of the day.

 

Stay turned...we will see this in all major cities with unsupported leadership towards law enforcement.

What's the old saying? You don't know how much you'll miss someone till they're gone.

I've seen this first hand overseas, when a void of power vacates it creates a vacuum for the opposite side (Criminals).  I pray for those caught in the middle when this happens.

good for the APD.....The recent shooting case is a farce.   APD had total justification. according to Georgia law. to use deadly force.  That same prosecutor argued two weeks ago in an unrelated case stating that a stun gun IS a deadly weapon. The statutes outline that a stun gun is a deadly weapon. I know that is going to be hell for the two officers for the next couple months but I foresee a favorable outcome for them and a payday.  The actions of the Atlanta prosecutors office is going to cause another wave of major riots all over the country. Yesterday, that office raised the communities expectations for the prosecution and sentencing of those two officers.  In the end, upon acquittal, there will be some very disappointed people.

You bet, Atlanta will burn. That prosecuter has got some troubles of his own. Distraction anyone?
