And because of her desire that Atlanta be a model of what meaningful reform should look like across this country, Chief Shields has offered to immediately step aside as police chief so that the city move forward with urgency in rebuilding the trust so desperately needed throughout our community,”

TRANSLATION: Atlanta PD is looking for a BLACK chief of police. Training, background checks, and experience are all optional. What is important is that you be black. We are setting aside our usual preference for female officers for this search only.

So how does this revisionist history thing work, anyway? The idiots want to remove all the Southern and Northern generals’ statues.

What happens to the Southern Heritage? I'm not from the South, so I don't know, but if anyone were to mess with my Northern American sensibilities, I'd be livid.

What is really *important* to me is the music. Today, while gardening, I was Pandoring. Seems Southern Rock was my channel. I was listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama”, the live version. They open the song with a guitar version of “Dixie”. I thought, how sweet! Almost as good as Jimi Hendricks playing “The Star Spangled Banner” at Woodstock.

So, is that now verboten?

And what of the Confederate’s graves? Don't they have a like, Decoration Day in the South where they put Confederate flags on the graves? Is that not allowed?

This is all bullshit!!

“Before joining the agency as a patrol officer in 1995, Chief Shields worked as a stockbroker in Boston.[3][4] She was the second woman to lead the Atlanta Police Department, and the first openly gay person to do so.[4]”

she checked ONE of the boxes....
