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
