The mayor says she is done trying to negotiate with protesters after the girl's death
After a night of a dozen shootings, including one in which an 8-year-old girl was killed, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms on Sunday said protesters could no longer occupy the Wendys where a police officer shot and killed Rayshard Brooks last month.
The girl, identified by police as Secoriea Turner, was killed not far from the scene where Brooks was shot on June 12, Atlantas Fox 5 reported, citing police.
Police said Turner was riding in a car with her mother and another adult when a group fired multiple times at the vehicle, hitting the girl.

Agree. The only reason she gave this press conference is because an eight year old was killed. It’s bad optics for her vp candidacy.
Aw, come on.! A good dimocrap can always wait until three or four kids are shot to death before even considering any sort of action..
You are 100% wrong. People like this mayor not only aided and abetted the “protestor,” they encouraged the rioting, looting and takeover of city streets. She is now backtracking because a black child died and the “optics” are not good for her reelection prospects.
Funny, I don’t hear or see them in the national media. Perhaps a counter protest would ignite the flame of resistance.

Keisha Lance Bottoms can trace her familys history in Georgia back five generations, to a plantation near Crawfordville and a freed slave named Shepherd Peek. She believes he may have served in the state legislature during Reconstruction.
Now, as Atlantas 60th mayor, she runs one of the countrys most influential cities, a multiracial hub for business, education and technology and one she thinks is well on its way to becoming a leader in social justice, as she tackles affordable housing and works for criminal justice improvements, key elements of her One Atlanta agenda.
Her familys journey, she says, speaks to what is possible.

How Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms became part of the Biden VP conversation
JUN 21 2020 Yelena Dzhanova
Keisha Lance Bottoms, the Atlanta mayor who sprung into the national spotlight for her handling of both the coronavirus pandemic and the protests in response to the police killing of George Floyd, is reportedly on Joe Bidens vice president short list.
Negotiate? Did General McAuliffe negotiate a surrender at Bastogne in WW2. Hell no. My negotiation with these turds would be to say: Ready the 155s, aim, fire for effect. BTW, dont use newer munitions. The older M107 will be fine.
How many weeks did this dimwit allow the area to be occupied? All’s on her!
They should have been cleared out when they moment they first occupied Wendy’s. Another progressive woke Left mayor gets people killed.......
“She is now backtracking because a black child died and the optics are not good for her reelection prospects.”
Nor her VP prospects with Beijing Biden.
She is like most Demonrats venomous against President Trump.
Why some people here are paying homage to her is bizarre.
All these “Autonomous Zones” become hotbeds of crime and corruption, a micro-chasm of Democratic ran cities nationwide, but on steroids.
Yup. Concur. Funny how Dims always come out strong after the brown stuff hits said fan and splatters all over their nice $5,000 suits and dresses. They have to attempt to shift the blame. HOWEVER, we with half a brain can see they are lying.
I’ll take Governor Kristi Noem of South Dakota over Cuomo any day. I’m a conservative woman and I find your comment offensive.
Because some people here are Dem plants pretending to be conservative in order to sow division. Been this way on FR since at least the early 2000s.
Leftists live in a world of lies. They have no conscience so no regrets. Mayor Bottoms will find a way to blame someone else, probably a Republican.
No, she was and is incompetent. The fact that she would make a statement about negotiating with terrorists tells you everything you need to know about her. She was negotiating with terrorists because they were black. She's a racist through and through. Had they been white, do you think she would have allowed riots and looting by having the police back off?
Closing the barn doors after the horse already got out.
Incompetent.
We have no rule of law. If we had rule of law Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton would be in prison.
THAT is the truth.
When they were taking a second look into Hillarys ILLEGAL server situation in 2016 (for a whole 3 minutes), somebody said that if they let her go in the face of the mountain of evidence, that the rule of law is dead in this country..
They let her go. And it PROVED without a shadow of a doubt that the rule of law is truly dead in this country. We are on our own.
President Trump can only keep a finger in the crack of the dyke for hopefully another 4 years. After that, look out.
Oh, many have been pretty vocal. Here’s what we get in return:

These democrat mayors and governors have to wait for one or many citizens are murdered by peaceful thugs before they decide this is a bad thing.
Stealing. Burning. Holding hostages, Terrorizing. Those are all so cute.
