Get a clue...this is not an "Atlanta" problem but a government and police problem. Stories like this are posted daily here on FR about police harassing citizens. It happens in big cities and it happens in small cities.
Everyone else in this thread got the point. Police are no longer our friends. While many are nice people, too many are either incompetent or just bullies.
Doesn't this start with the ridiculous law that made token selling illegal. That didn't come from the police but comes from elected idiots in office in Atlanta.
Yes, the police are harassing the public but the lawmakers gave them the tools. The country wide problem wouldn't go away overnight, but boycotts and awareness one city, one incident at a time is where I tend to start.
