Police walking off the job in Atlanta

[jimnyc]

Nation wide the police are being hammered as one. All the good police, which are the majority of them, are under assault verbally and physically. Yes, the bad apples deserve the punishment they get. But the police as a whole are feeling attacked, and this is going to be the results. A shame, but as others stated below, I can understand why the good cops walk off the job.

Too lazy to take screenshots, so just the plain text of all the tweets about this:
---

‘Let it burn!’ It sounds like that walk-off by Atlanta police is a real thing; Georgia Bureau of Investigation not consulted on charges

As Twitchy reported earlier, an Atlanta cop who shot and killed a man who stole a Taser and seemingly threatened him with it will be charged with felony murder and 10 other counts, according to the Fulton County district attorney.

We’ve been hearing ever since that police in Atlanta are making their displeasure with that charge known:

Just got this email from an Atlanta police officer:

"Atlanta police officers are refusing to answer the radio and walking off of the job. The county can go screw themselves. If you want a society without police we’ll give you one. Let it burn!"

My contacts in the Atlanta Police Department inform me that members from evening shift Zone 4 walked off the job shortly followed by Officers in Zone 3 and 6. The good members of the ATLanta_Police will not stand for @FultonCountyDA’s activism in place of applying the law. https://twitter.com/jackposobiec/status/1273355470850404354 …

Good cops are going to walk off the job after this. The political class is pandering to the mob and trying to persecute officers for every issue in the world. Cultural revolution.

Breaking: Sources confirm Atlanta Police officers in zone 6 have walked out. Sources say they drove back to their precinct, turned in their keys and went home. Officers in zone 3 are allegedly doing the same. @CBS46 #ContinuingCoverage #Atlanta #BlueFlu

And they won't be the last. 99% of LEOs are good ppl who uphold their oath & do a thankless job. Why would they continue to do it if they're receiving even more hate? While being shamed & smeared for the actions of a few bad apples? I mean would you do that job? #RayshardBrooks

Dear Atlanta PD we will start a GoFundMe to support your families. How many unreasonable restrictions do Democrats think they can place on you before you say f**k it?

This is how they're "defunding police" without actually doing it. They're gonna make it so bad that good cops retire and nobody will want to be one in the future.

I don’t blame them. As much as that saddens and scares me I understand why they would. If I were a cop right now I would turn in my badge, go home, pull down the shades, lock the door and hug my family.

I listen to the police scanners for a hobby and I have never seen as many listeners as there are right now it ATL, over 12k. Usually its under 100 listeners. Also, zero activity on the usually active ATL scanner. Did dispatchers walk off too??

I’m sure police officers all over the country are furious about the charges levied against the Atlanta cops. They were not warranted, they’re an overreaction. Democrats will have a lot to answer for as more cops resign & recruiting has been destroyed.

Atlanta PD Seems to Suffer Outbreak of 'Blue Flu' After Charges Brought in Rayshard Brooks Case

Need a Cop, Atlanta? Shoulda Thought About That Earlier.
Police in the United States have been under siege for almost a month now because of one very bad cop in Minneapolis. Men and women who risk their lives every time they go to work are being painted with a broad brush, being portrayed as plagued by systemic racism and routinely abusing power. That, after all, is the justification for all the rioting and looting the last three weeks.

Yes, they are bad cops out there. There are bad people in every profession. Human beings are a messy bunch and some of us are just plain evil. Most of us aren’t though. This collective guilt nonsense that we’re being told we must believe in to be better people is absurd.

Some of the cops out there have been trying to appease the mob, kneeling with them and hoping that they would act a little less lunatic. Others have gone about doing their jobs under very trying circumstances, sometimes running afoul of their civilian overlords.
After charges were filed against the officers involved in the Rayshard Brooks shooting in Atlanta, several members of the police department didn’t seem to be up to coming into work. The exact number of cops who didn’t show has been difficult to determine as the police union won’t admit that it’s actually happening and the media is just hoping this will go away.

There were numerous people on Twitter monitoring police scanners and confirming that the walkout seemed to be extensive.

Hmm let it burn. Is that a Sherman reference?

[SassyLady]

If there is a support police protest I will attend.

We had one here, I wished I'd known.

If you were related to breonna taylor and found out the only punishment was the cop got fired, you might have a different perspective right about now.

If you were related to breonna taylor and found out the only punishment was the cop got fired, you might have a different perspective right about now.If I was related to Breona Taylor I would probably have been indoctrinated from birth that regardless what the relative did, the cop would be at fault.

Why don't you ever get made at the people who perpetuate these myths/lies? Easier to hang the cop, right? Than actually think about something and see it for what it is?

There's no personal accountability on the left and especially with blacks. Black culture teaches it. Think they can do whatever the Hell they want and someone will let them off the hook. As has been pointed out time and again, what about all the white people killed by cops? They don't even get in the news. Don't hear about it. More whites are killed by cops than blacks.

And what does actual history have to say? Criminals get caught. Some get killed. The odds are against them. Or used to be, anyway. It still is that way with whites. You choose to be a criminal or commit a criminal act, you deserve the punishment that goes with it. If you exacerbate that punishment by fighting with cops you're just asking for it. THAT is not a black thing. It's a ops n robbers thing and those rules were set long before poor, pitiful, put-upon blacks stole it and made it their own.

It's not about total numbers, it's about the ratio and the difference in punishments. This is proven that blacks go to jail more often and longer than whites for the same crime. There are racial reasons blacks have been pushed into inner cities. You think they enjoy themselves there? No. Ask yourself, would you trade your skin for a black man's? How many black friends do you have, how many in your neighborhood are black? How many blacks in your school district? If you were hiring and got two candidates, one with the name Shaquina Johnson and the other Henry Carlson, which do you instantly gravitate too? Systematic racism is very real. Implicit bias is very real. Blackness has been ingrained into whites as bad. We judge our schools and neighborhoods by the absence of blacks. Imagine one day, your neighborhood turns 75% black. What is your instinct. You'll prolly move. Blacks are only accepted when they assimilate into whiteness. The slave discrimination and racist laws didn't go away, they just changed into something more hidden. For example, I have friends who are in a interracial relationship. They went house hunting a few years ago. The black women did not go with my white male friend to look at homes because there are homes realtors won't show a black person. My white friend also went to the bank alone to get a loan. That is white privilege. I was also just reading about a black farmer in iowa who is basically going out of business because the banks in his area give him his loan 3-4 months later than the white farmers in the area. That means his crop is always lower. This kind of stuff happens all the time.

Haven't had it a day in my life.

There are more blacks in my neighborhood than whites. There are also more Hispanics. I've never lived in a "white neighborhood". Lived in some black ones though. So yeah, the law has changed. The slave mentality, and black culture have not. THAT is the problem.

But we all got along. One thing I can say about being poor, everybody around you is so nobody gives a shit.

I got news for you, Pete, poor whites don't grow up with any more privilege or "stuff" than poor blacks. We just don't get to blame it on skin color. We have to get out and work or not eat. Because if we want grants, loans, welfare, whatever ? We are WAY less likely to get any of that than a minority.

I had no more opportunity than anyone else regardless color. I got myself the f*ck out. I have very little patience for those who make excuses not to. Regardless reason, I've had to put my life back together from nothing so I have little patience for those who just make excuses.

And if it makes you feel any better, I never really thought about it, but I have more Hispanic and black acquaintances than white ones. Skin color is an excuse and I'm sick of hearing about it.

I'm more sick of the hate and destruction that such a superficial concept has created. And it ain't whites getting rich of keeping the label of "racism" alive. Think about THAT.

Sounds good. Let all the blacks out. Settle them in white liberal neighborhoods where the highest ratio of white guilt lies. You can atone for your white privledge in the most brutal way.
