Blue Flu hits Atlanta.....

[Sun Devil 92]

Atlanta PD is 58% black (or so I've been told).

Curious to see how this all works out.

The cop might need to be fired....but no fucking way he should be charged.

Why should he be fired for defending against a lethal weapon? And if he should not be charged, why would he be fired?

I said "might"....thinking they should review things.

I don't know how two police officers lost control of one guy....something does not seem right.

But I am not a police officer and don't do this...so maybe I should say....seems like the whole thing should be reviewed and decisions made from there.

The failed Atlanta police chief, Erike Shields, made a mission statement when she became chief:

“I really want to see a paradigm shift where we’re taking the young black males that need assistance, need direction and we can really see some quantifiable change in what’s occurring in their lives,” Shields said in a 2017 interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “For too long, the emphasis has been on locking them up. No matter how we couch it, no matter how necessary it is … that’s B.S. It’s because we locked up so many young black males in the first place that we find ourselves in the position we are today.”

Erika Shields steps aside after 3½ years as APD chief

On the first night of recent protests in downtown Atlanta, Police Chief Erika Shields struck a non-confrontational tone, saying she wasn’t looking to make lots of arrests and that she empathized with demonstrators outraged over the death of George Floyd.

Had she kept the emphasis on training Atlanta police on how to make safe arrests instead of treating violent criminals like Brooks as victims, Brooks would be alive today and the two officers, who had been badly trained, would not be about to be lynched by angry mobs ruling the streets of Atlanta.

Restraining a violent person is not easy if they don't want to be restrained.

It took 5 of us to restrain one convict and he still punched me. And he wasn't even black.

Why couldnt you taser him?

But who is surprised with a Mayor like Bottoms?

Atlanta police call in sick to protest murder charge against officer who shot Rayshard Brooks

Every person that calls out should have an IA case opened on them and crawl up their asses with a microscope. My bet is that the ones calling out have dirt on them.

STFU. The mayor and da need fired.

I was a corrections officer and they don't let us carry anything besides pepper spray. And all that happened after I sprayed him. I forgot there were so many taking him down, I seemed to recall it was only me and another guy but there were several, and the thing about all that irritated me the most is that one of them was trying to pull me off the pos because I was pounding him with my gas can. Damn I'm glad I don't so that crap anymore.

Good.

Fire the ones that didn't show up and start hiring some new officers who are a bit less bloodthirsty.

Where they gonna find any fools that want to work for those pos?

As police numbers dwindle, vigilantism will rise. Guaranteed.

I bet the Democrats haven't thought of that. Who will protect them?

BLM?

Antifa?

School crossing guard?

By the good nature of the poor misunderstood criminals who, being ecstatic over being free from the police, will no longer commit crimes. Instead they will seek out gainful employment and become model citizens.

Like I said.

I've never had to do what they have to do.

So I am very cautions.

If they did something really wrong, it might be their job....certainly not jail.
