The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Atlantas 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? Hes been on the ground and theres no police who have come. Hes dead already, hes on the ground and the residents have put a sheet over him and the police still havent arrived.
This incident isnt 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 Wendys 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 businesss 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.

They already do. Detroit, Baltimore, Oakland, St. Louis. You think theycare? The problem isn’t them, its us. They dont fear or respect the police; we do. Thats why we will never rise up against these idiots until the cops go away and vigilante justice can take over!
It’s like the beginning of that joke Jim Stafford would tell onstage: So, a fella called the cops and said, “I’d like to report a dead man on my porch.” The cop said, “How do you know he’s dead?” The fella sighed and said, “Well, he’s been laying out there for about a month.”
Thanks for the chart. I’m gonna borrow it.
