The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Atlanta’s interim Police Chief Rodney Bryant was about to address the City Council on the unrest plaguing the city when a councilman informed Bryant:
I was just notified there was a young man who was just shot and killed at 377 Westchester Boulevard. Can you get a unit out there? He’s been on the ground and there’s no police who have come. He’s dead already, he’s on the ground and the residents have put a sheet over him and the police still haven’t arrived.
This incident isn’t the only sign that the wheels are coming off in Atlanta. From the same source:
On June 13, as angry protesters milled around the south Atlanta Wendy’s the day after Rayshard Brooks was shot in the parking lot by a cop — and hours before the restaurant was burned down — there was a wild shootout in the Edgewood neighborhood in east Atlanta. Five people were wounded and two were killed. Residents reported hearing perhaps 40 gunshots.
Also:
Earlier this month, the owners of a bar in the popular Edgewood Avenue nightlife district posted a photo online of the business’s window smashed by a bullet. They said they felt unsafe and were closing “until the city gets its #@&! together.” What caused this? Eight people were shot nearby in six days.
And there is this, regarding drive-by shootings:
Friday in south Atlanta, police found the body of 80-year-old Clarence Knox inside his home. Residents reported at least 20 shots the night before, and cops think he was the unintended victim of a drive-by shooting. And over the weekend there was this headline: “6 injured in 3 overnight drive-by shootings in Atlanta.” One of the victims is a 10-year-old boy.

This is already a civil war.
their mayor is on the shortlist for VP
goodness gracious, she could be President
I thank God I no longer live in downtown Atlanta.
I make it a point to go there as little as possible!
Where I live, it’s quiet at night, no one is trying
my door handle, stealing my car, or casing my belongings.
No one pooping on my door step!
You wanted the police defunded and demonized.
Live with it.
What Sherman did is NOTHING compared to what you are doing to yourselves.
If we saw the numbers it wouldn’t look like that.
It would look mostly like blacks killing blacks.
More whites hurt than usual by protesters but not nearly enough to make the stats look like a black on black war and not a civil war.
A bunch of punks, even organized and even if there are a few million, isn’t a civil war.
When they start going to areas with gun owners or people that aren’t afraid to fight back, then it will be a civil war.
They seem to avoid those areas.
So no civil war yet
You made the mess, you pick it up.
Would it be too much trouble to pack up the feral parts of Atlanta and move them to Chicago? Y’know, have it all in one nice neat bundle...
Whew! AG Barr had better get that task force together in a hurry and start prosecuting those “bugaloo” white supreemists who keep doing this stuff.
We are not allowed to talk about gang violence or drive-by shootings, within the context of this whole black lives matter movement. We aren’t allowed to talk about the criminal element within the black community.
So very little will be said about these events in Atlanta
cripes no
that shiite drifts up to where i am
Ohh well.
The rule of opposites:
Those who claim “Black Lives Matter” are exactly those who couldn’t care less when blacks kill other blacks.
Black lives do _not_ matter to them.
The “law of unintended consequences” rapes Atlanta.
Why should police respond to episodes of Black Violence when they could be killed, maimed or accused of murder if they do their duty. Much easier to be writing traffic tickets, checking for expired safety checks, monitoring for proper mask wearing, etc.
Councilman Brown, this is what you get when you demonize and 'defund' the police. What did you expect would happen?
Of course, they haven't come. The Hood probably took a vow to not call police.
The country is done...all these democrats will flee these cities and go to red states and vote for the same fools...there is very little hope these people will wake up..
.
What’s the hurry, the victim will still be dead when the coops get there
