Georgia NAACP calls for immediate resignation of Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields

The Georgia NAACP has called for the immediate resignation of Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields the morning after a black man was killed in a confrontation with Atlanta Police.

Rayshard Brooks was killed outside a Wendy’s Friday night after police investigated him for sleeping in a car. Brooks and police got into a scuffle in which Brooks apparently got one of the officer’s Tasers, the GBI said.

GBI Director Vic Reynolds said it appears the Brooks ran from the officers, but then turned back around and pointed the Taser at them before officers shot him.

"At this time, we must address the oversaturated police presence in Georgia’s Black communities," the NAACP said in a statement Saturday. "This is not the first time a Black man was killed for sleeping. The Atlanta Police Department has a history of antagonizing our Black communities."

Just like idiots who actually believed that Trump said that he supports chokeholds..the commie media cut off what else Trump had to say, its selective editing to serve their sick purpose

“ Shot this poor man because he was sleeping. Is snoring a crime now?
It was to John Wesley Hardin. ”

My candidate for the best comment of the day.

Yeah. When are people going to learn that affirmative action does not work whether color of skin or who you sleep with. It’s about qualifications or should be.

Regardless how "wrong" Police are in their approach to you your best defense is "Comply - Don't Die"

Follow that simple (and rhyming) rule and you'll live another day to lodge your complaint.

Certainly President Trump understands the importance of and to make the most of prime time television. Recent events have provided another opportunity for him to address the nation during prime time.

In order to get the media to provide coverage and provide it from start to finish, the even will need to be a subject they can not resist to cover.

The subject can be an announcement on the use of the military and national guard during the current rioting. The potential for points against Trump will be too much for them not to cover.

But instead of allowing them to score points president Trump should go on offensive driving three major points across to the American public.

First as the prime time event starts you will see President trump and three pastors. President Trump will be kneeling on both knees. You will have a priest a rabbi and a pastor. One of which should be African American. They will all have hands on the President praying over him silently.

The President will then stand up and recite the pledge of allegiance before the American flag.

He will then follow with a short address containing three points to cover. Keeping the press from breaking away coverage is important so the speech must be short and concise.

The first point will be for every event an American flag is raised or honored a short period of prayer and reflection be given asking God for reconciliation and a deeper understanding of what divides our country before the flag is displayed.

The second point will be about funds (in the billions) that will be allocated toward training for police departments throughout the United States on procedures for handling situations such as George Floyd.

The third and final would be notification to the American people of the President’s plan to federalize the national guard if a peaceful solution to domestic terrorist activity can not be found.

He should then end and leave the room.

This "protected class" is being used and abused.

Check this old quote out...

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
― Booker T. Washington

Do police ever shoot to mame instead of shoot to kill?

Demented Joe isn't a cop, but he'd shoot for the leg before center mass. So in that respect you're on par with him.

“UPDATE: She has resigned...”

She doesn’t want any part of what is about to happen.

That’s enough
