Stacey Abrams claims Georgia cops 'want to be able to take black people off the streets' after sheriffs endorsed her Republican opponent in governor's race
Abrams: Cops 'want to be able to take black people off the streets'
Georgia Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Stacey Abrams said Georgia sheriffs endorsed her opponent, Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, because they 'want to be able to take black people off the streets.'
Abrams made the comment as she and Kemp sparred over whether she wanted to 'defund the police,' during their final debate Sunday night in Atlanta.
'The men and women of law enforcement know who is going to be with them and have their back and continue to have their back. And that is me,' Kemp said on the Sunday night debate stage. 'And that is why we have the endorsement of 107 sheriffs around this state.'

That's provided Kemp with fodder to go after Abrams, and he remains ahead of the Democrat with just eight days to go before Election Day.
'I'm not a member of the "good ol' boys" club. So, no. I don't have 107 sheriffs who want to be able to take black people off the streets, who want to be able to go without accountability,' Abrams responded.
LOL.....107 elected sheriffs are against you and it's their fault.
