Check the powdered sugar trail to the Dunkin' Donuts... the officers that didn't do their jobs probably need an administrative review and a letter in their folders.... and then a pay raise, Christmas bonus and retirement benefits.... it's a union thing... ya'll wouldn't understand.
I worked in a courthouse in North Georgia for 20 years.... video cameras everywhere....it appeared to be soooo secure. There were supposed to be two people watching the screens at all times, but a good deal of the time no one was assigned this duty. When we questioned this we were told that there wasn't always enough manpower to cover all jobs and that if anything happened it would be on tape and could be reviewed later. (I swear I'm not making this up!)
I don't know what the situation was in Atlanta as to why no one was watching, but I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that the officers were on a donut run.
I'm expecting the breaking-news, televised Golden Donut Awards ceremony any day now - celebrating their great work and public service. For which they all deserve raises.
Like that BTK killer arrest - the man's daughter turns him in to the Donut Patrol, but there they were on TV the next day, handing out the Golden Donut Awards for great police work.
