“This cop is going to walk and never should have been charged to begin with.”

His attorney has probably advised him of that, and also to expect “back pay”.

The “community” broke its commitment to the Police a long time ago.

“This cop is going to walk and never should have been charged to begin with.”

Maybe they deliberately over charged him, so he would walk, so they can have more riots.

Keisha Lance Bottoms, cop persecutor, lecturing police about honor. What a repugnant, disgusting and pathetic woman. Let her police Atlanta.

A political version of the PHB.

Treat people below as trash but expect them to save their hide when things go wrong.

In my sons small department the chief has passed the word, if any councilman or the mayor starts this defund nonsense they are all calling in sick. Cops have had enough.

How about members of the community (whatever that is) start turning in the perps who walk among them, sleep on their couches, whatever.

Asking them to honor their “commitment”.....really?
What about YOUR commitment to them, BottomsIdiot?

Personally, if I was apart of them, I’d tell you personally to ‘F’ off......

I hope they don’t cave. They definitely have the mayor shook.”

I don’t see how the CAN cave. After haveing the range of responses to violence against themselves severely curtailed any cop at any time can end up on charges for anything that flows from having lost control of an arrest situation.

The deck is stacked against them and a howling mob that hates them is literally in full control.

A friend of mine who works on the Boston PD says morale is abysmmal and there has been an unofficial “strike” going for a couple weeks now in large cities across the country. Officers are simply refusing to respond to calls anymore saying they are too busy, they go on duty, go park somewhere out of the way and do nothing for their entire shift.

My God. I can imagine a host of Freepers logging in and reading this for the first time like I did, had that exact same word salad containing the words “Kiss” and “Ass”.

My thought was the arrogance and dastardly insolence.

If it weren’t true, one might think them incapable of such a statement. Even they couldn’t go that low.

But every time you think they cannot go that low, they descend further.

Are they getting anyone’s attention? I hope so.

Where’s the Union? Shouldn’t they be out representing the officers and the relentless attacks on them instead of just collecting dues and giving them to Democrats?

According to the Atlanta Police Department website, the starting salary is $48,500.00 and top salary $71,792.00.

It's not enough money to do that job. It's not nearly enough money to do that job.

As you describe, what really happened is quite different from CNN’s brief description “shot twice in the back”. Too bad that almost all of the USA media is trying to foment racial hatred and division, even riots.

Even the police chief saying that the man was asleep in his car at a Wendy’s leaves out the important part that he was in the drive-thru line, this blocking anyone else from driving through. It’s too bad that he hadn’t pulled into a parking space and gone to sleep.

I just listened to the Atlanta zone 6 police radio this morning. Not a word spoken - just static for minutes on end.

Yep - told her to fulfil her commitment and defend those who risk it all for the ingrates who want to eradicate them.
