Atlanta police officers are still reportedly calling in sick to work in protest of charges against the cop who fatally shot Rayshard Brooks, as it's announced every officer will receive a $500 bonus for working amid civil unrest.
On Thursday the Atlanta Police Department saw cops continue to call out of work, in protest of 11 charges, including felony murder, announced Wednesday against fired officer Garrett Rolfe.

For Thursday’s shift 'most' officers called out sick, according to Facebook page Things Police See: First Hand Accounts, a page run by Former Massachusetts police officer Steve Gould who interviews police officers across the country.
He reported that many officers were 'busy filling out applications to other agencies outside Fulton County,' where Rolfe’s charges were filed.
A Metro Atlanta officer told the outlet Thursday: 'It’s been a hell of a night here and today’s not looking much better, it’s 0700 here with day watch supposed to be starting and no one is showing up either so we may have to go assist now.'

Nah. Atlanta PD said that’s merely a rumor. Sure.
hmmm $500 ...vs possible death sentence charge? HMMMMM
Call out sick every day until they fire you. Then sue them.
They’re not sick.
They’re self-quarantining for two weeks.
Good for them!
their legal bills defending themselves will bankrupt their families.
There is a fund for Rolfe right now. Last time i checked it was over 180k..and that was early yesterday. the charity gives 100percent of the money to the family
Abandon Atlanta. Let it rot. Get out fast. The politicians will send you to the electric chair for defending yourself.
If your black, it might be worth it. A white cop, hell no.
They only offered an officer $500 to be abused and then arrested for being blue?
Blood money
Having been locked out then striking against new imposed contract for 444 days, never getting my job back I can look at myself and still stand stall knowing we fought the good fight. Stay home coppers, it’s the right fight.
Fake a workplace injury—then sue them.
If the city wants to play the race card anti-cop game, up the ante.
Down payment on their tombstone.
every cop should call in for at least a week
Tough for the city to complain about lots of people simultaneously calling out sick when the government is saying there's a deadly pandemic going on.
Good one. Likely exposed to COvID-19 and need to self quarantine.
They'll need SEVERAL of these BONUSES to cover the legal fees after they're indicted for arresting someone incorrectly.
$500 given by Atlanta Police Foundation. Support them if you hope to save Atlanta. City and Fulton County be damed.

500 bucks, is that what the life of a cop is worth?
