ATLANTA, Ga. (CBS46) -- Several Atlanta Police officers have reportedly walked off the job at precincts across the city. The claim comes hours after charges were filed against ex officer Garrett Rolfe and Officer Devin Brosnan in the Rayshard Brooks' case.

The buzz of patrol officers staging walkouts and refusing to answer calls from Precincts 3,5,6 and others began circulating social Wednesday evening.

CBS46 confirmed the walkout through sources at 8:30 p.m.

APD attempted to quiet the noise of a walkout by tweeting:

I’ve had my scanner on Zone 6 East for well over an hour and have almost NOTHING!

BTW, this is CBS, they have a vested interest in downplaying this!

Maybe the looters will visit CNN headquarters. If CNN dials 911, nobody will answer.

The scanners are dead. Whoever is saying this is a non issue must not read past their CNN home page. The local media won’t report this unless an until one of their own is killed.

Uh no all the cops have walked. There are no cops on the streets of Atlanta right now and all surrounding counties are refusing assistance as well as the national guard. GA state patrol only handling accidents.

Atlanta was hit by a bad case of the “blue flu” Wednesday evening.

The Atlanta Police Department acknowledged that many officers were not reporting for duty, the evening after a policeman was charged with capital murder for shooting Rayshard Brooks, a fleeing felon who’d grabbed his Taser and fired it.

“The department is experiencing a higher than usual number of call outs with the incoming shift,” the department said, though it insisted there had been no mass walkout, as had been reported.

“We have enough resources to maintain operations & remain able to respond to incidents,” the department wrote on its Twitter feed.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution asked both the Atlanta police and a local union representative the number of officers involved, but did not get answers

They think they will be able to buy them off to make them perfect sock puppets to play their role in their produced drama.

I would have packed and left the city within 15m after this announcement. Any cop has a target on their back, get out why you can.

Hitler came to power with the help of Ernst Rohm’s BROWN SHRTS. They quickly either conscripted the police agencies throughout Germany or dismissed – or otherwise “disposed of —those few officers who refused to don the brown shirt!
Once Hitler consolidated power, Rohm was murdered & Himmler commenced to eliminate the Brown Shirts (Night of the Long Knives), replacing them with his SS Gestapo. The rest is history.
If you are unclear on any of that, ask a descendant of a German Jew or other foe of Hitler’s to tell you...IF YOU CAN FIND ONE!
George Soros’ BLM call to defund our admittedly imperfect police forces will end as badly – or worse!
WORSE? Yeah!
Think public canings, stonings, beheadings,etc. if the growing majority of muslims, who STILL enslave blacks today, gain dominance here.
Keep telling yourself “That can’t happen here.”

Pretty much the same as a walk out, except that it is communicated by telephone.

They are lying! Our friend who is an LEO called early evening to give us a heads up that the word just came down that Atlanta PD was walking off. He told us every surrounding county PD including his was going to refuse assistance and that is what has happened. GA state patrol is working accidents only or officer needs assistance calls. You do not want to be in town Atlanta right now.

I gathered from your posts and othe Georgia FRs that media, PD and mayors office were lying. Just posting date and time of the report for the record to prove that they knew of the Blue Flu at that time.

On your side and trust your report fully. Stay safe

Well with corona out there, it’s irresponsible for officers to report to work if they’ve experienced coughing fits. It’s a shame the only way they can safeguard the public is by taking two weeks off while they wait to see if anything develops.

Calling in “sick” to say they’re out...or maybe just saying, “FU, I ain’t dealing with this crap today”.
