After Atlanta Police abandoned their posts due to Atlanta’s leadership turning their back on them, crime skyrocketed and shootings became relatively common. They became so common that 8-year-old Secoriea Turner was shot and killed on Saturday when a group of people shot up the car she was riding in as they passed by the same Wendy’s where Rayshard Brooks was killed.

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms gave a press conference on the atrocity committed for no good reason. During her small speech, she pointed out that all of these riots and crimes were supposed to be in reaction to the way police and society at large treated the black community but in truth, it’s not the police that are shooting up the communities, it’s members of the community.
“Secoriea Turner was shot and killed last night, and it was not by the hands of police officers,” Bottoms said. “It was by the hands of a coward, cowards, who are still out and about in our community. This happened … near the Wendy’s where Rayshard Brooks was killed a few weeks ago.”
“We’ve talked a lot about what we are demanding from our officers in our communities,” the Mayor continued. “We’ve protested, we’ve demonstrated, we’ve been angry, we’ve cried, we’ve demanded action. Well now we’re demanding action for Secoriea Turner and for all of the other people who were shot in Atlanta last night and over the past few weeks because the reality is this – these aren’t police officers shooting people on the streets of Atlanta, these are members of the community shooting each other, and in this case, it is the worst possible outcome.”
“Enough is enough. Enough is enough,” Bottoms continued. “We have talked about this movement that’s happening across America in this moment in time where we have the ears and the interest of people across this country and across this globe who were saying they want to see change.
“We’re fighting the enemy within when we are shooting each other up on our streets in the city and you shot and killed a baby,” continued the Mayor. “And it wasn’t one shooter, there were at least two shooters. An 8-year-old baby. If you want people to take us seriously, and you don’t want us to lose this movement, then we can’t lose each other.”
“You can’t blame this on a police officer, you can’t say this is about criminal justice reform. This is about some people carrying some weapons who shot up a car with an eight-year-old baby in the car,” Bottoms concluded. “We got to stop this. We are doing each other more harm than any police officer on this force. We’ve had over 75 shootings in the city over the past several weeks. You can’t blame that on APD. So, I’m just asking you to please honor this baby’s life. Please, if you know who did this, please turn them in. These people are a danger to all of us.”
The father of the girl, Secoriya Williamson, also spoke similarly to the Mayor.
“They say black lives matter. You killed your own. You killed your own this time,” he said.
All these Dem pols are part of the problem.

She’s breaking one of the first rules: don’t mention the problems in urban culture.
There are approximately 44 million American blacks. There is a small percentage of them out on the streets. The vast majority are also victims of this radicalism. They are terrorized in their communities by those who hate because those haters are allowed to get away with it.
Government intervention has been a failure. Charitable organizations can only do so much.
I pray that these activists will come to understand the real problems in the black population.
I find it ironic that the BLM is calling for an end to the nuclear family. That happened with the Democrats “Great Society” and it has been the worst thing to happen to them.
There are those who are standing up and that is good for it must come from within.
I haven’t given up hope. I pray for all Americans.
True, but notice she is still denigrating the police. She’s claiming the cops are bad...just not as bad.
Those Black Lives Don't Matter, only the ones killed by cops matter.
