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.
“They say black lives matter. You killed your own. You killed your own this time,” — Secoriya Williamson, father of the murdered girl
While I sympathize with Mr. Williamson and his horrible grief, “this time” suggests it is a rare event. Mr. Williamson seems to be woefully out of touch with the decades-long horrendous black-on-black murder rate throughout the country.
All Trump has to do is ask one simple question..is a Biden America what you want, where there are NO cops, NO 2nd Amendment, NO security..NO boarders, is that what people want..because if that is what they want, then go vote for Biden
De Blasio blamed it on being locked in their houses due to Kung Flu..OK so people are killing other folks cause they are bored LOL
I call it demonic convulsion.
It’s one and the same.
It’s most often caused by truth.
“The cops were keeping a lid on those areas of town that are so violent now, (sic) You asked for it, you got it.”
And, I doubt they’ll be able to get the lid back on without an almost military level of violence.
Especially if the Atlanta DA refuses to prosecute
How refreshing--and encouraging--for an elected official to speak the TRUTH--the unvarnished TRUTH--TRUTH for its own sake.
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms deserves and shall receive the praise of all decent people everywhere and for all time for this--seemingly simple but in fact heroic--act!
Too bad the so-called journalists of the MSM and most public figures lack the intelligence--and decency--to follow her example!
I think she’s backpedaling because she knows the LEO that shot the drunk that took his tazer was justified and he’s probly planning to sue the city of Atlanta.
Atlanta city council member, her district includes Wendy’s location.
The media doesn’t recognize these deaths, too concerned with Confederate Flags at peaceful rallies.
Kayleigh: “I was asked probably 12 questions about the Confederate flag... I didn’t receive one question on the deaths in our country this weekend... I didn’t receive one question about five children who were killed.”

Think we’ll hear the mayor of Chicago admit this any time soon? I doubt it.
Note the use of the word our.
Black lives won’t truly matter until they love each other more than they hate white people.
Yes! Afterall, who ever calls a stabbing “knife violence”, or running someone down with a car “vehicle violence”!
Can you imagine the reaction of people if those items were be banned?
Curious editorial description: was that an attempt to downplay or discredit her presentation?
She better keep an eye out for runaway buses to end out on top of her.
Community Members?
COMMUNITY MEMBERS???
How about “The Murdering Thugs Who Live Among Us?”
There is virulent racism rivaling 1950's Jim Crow in the black community towards even lighter-skinned blacks let alone whites. It's hatred like I have never seen. Jim Crow whites rarely went into black communities looking to instigate trouble. Today it's commonplace for blacks to look to perpetrate violence on anyone not black. Leftists and militant gays trans people are using blacks as their stalking horse for their own mental illness. Just a greasy bowl of turds we need to flush.
I have a use for all the cruise lines... let's arrange a few million really unhappy racists blacks back to Africa. I'll GoFundMe that. Besides sports and some music, we'd probably have a net gain as a culture depopulating most black urban areas.
Only took her a month and a half to admit the blindingly obvious.
“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.”
Who would have thought letting all the criminals run loose to loot and shoot all they wanted would come back to bite them? This hapless attempt to battle the success of President Trump by letting rabid left anarchists prey on American citizens at will didn’t seem to work as well as the dims and media thought it would.
Who could have predicted that? Almost 100 percent of Republican Governors and Mayors.
