The head of Atlanta’s police union confirmed Wednesday that officers from the Atlanta Police Department in Zones 3 and 6 walked off the job Wednesday afternoon.
Vince Champion, southeast regional director of the International Brotherhood of Police officers, said that police officers had stopped answering calls midshift, in response to charges against Officer Garrett Rolfe who is accused of murdering Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta.
“The union, we would never advocate this. We wouldn’t advocate a blue flu,” Champion said. “We don’t know the numbers. Apparently we’re learning that command staff are asking outlying counties for support and aren’t getting it.”
Other local media are seeing evidence of the walkout.
Atlanta INtown reports, “A drive around Zone 6 indicated there was not the usual APD presence. A Georgia State Patrol unit was handling a two-car accident at Boulevard and Edgewood Avenue around 9 p.m. The APD’s precinct at Wellstar Atlanta Medical Center appeared empty. Down in Grant Park, the Zone 3 precinct was populated by Fulton County Sheriff units.”
This is a developing story and will be updated when more information is received.

“Follow the guidance of the PT people and you’ll be on the mend pretty quickly.”
Yep. PT is painful, but is worth it. This is my third. Left hip in 1985, then revision in 2005. Now the right one. I can take the pain, but sitting/sleeping in a comfortable position makes me crazy. Just have to wait it out.
Police have to take steps to make sure they are not exposed to COVID.
Stay safe, FRiend.
TRUE FACT.

Eh, not going to tell myself that. The last 3 months have basically stripped me of nearly all normalcy bias.
“white person calling 911 on a Black person”
“white person ... Black person”
“white ... Black”
“w” and “B”
I think I see the problem here.
Whoops, wrong thread.
Don’t feel like you are alone bro.
The only way this insanity ends is terrible. People are going to have to be hurt very badly to wake up and understand they are being played like fiddles.
If I was a cop I’d be saying AMF as well until my own rights were restored and I did not fear going to jail for protecting myself and doing my job.
Fulton County DA needs to resign. Dropping the charges is not sufficient.
Personally I think they should be unavailable.
Have a Day Without Cops. Let the city burn until the DA is fired.
He’ll be lynched for kicking the perp afterwards
“They would never advocate for that” while they probably took a few dozen calls asking what to do, and probably telling them to walk.
Police never testify against each other.
Every single cop in the corrupt, Dem run big cities that have these Dem mayors emasculating the police, should call in sick, walk off the job, refuse to answer 911 calls etc. Let’s see how the black majority areas do in just one month. Chicago will be like Mogadishu, if they are lucky.
Unleash the hounds of hell on these deranged Democrats.
If there is blue flu, there should be terminations. I remember what Reagan did with the air traffic controllers.
I’m not sure he did that. There is apparently a picture of him that could be interpreted that way, but from what I know, either he or one of his colleagues worked his butt off trying to keep Mr. Brooks from dying.
Thanks; cops have told me you have to at least make an effort if you want to avoid having the book thrown at you.
