Atlanta city council members have proposed a $1.6million plan to create a private police force in one of its wealthiest suburbs just days after a seven-year-old girl was fatally shot by a stray bullet.

Just create zones where citizens are free from legal trouble if they make their own private peace keeping.

Wash DC area has a lot of those characteristics.

I can remember eating in a pretty nice restaurant near the Capitol One Arena, watching out the streetside window and suddenly there was a flash mob of feral youts that stripped a beverage truck absolutely clean in about 3 minutes. A cop told me they coordinate on their Obamaphones.

Sure it can.
Atlanta has (mostly useless) Transit Authority police for MARTA, why not a special police force for rich urban neighborhoods?

The problem is that Democrat voters are too stupid to see cause and effect and too arrogant to realize that they’re stupid

They voted for Bottom due entirely to her gender, race, and sexuality. They need to learn this lesson hard.

“Welcome to Mexico! The oligarchs live in splendid little isolation camps while the peons live in grim slums.”

We saw that in Cozumel. Huge mansions with 12 ft high security walls and barb wire on top and 3 blocks over tin shacks and I mean literally corrugated tin shacks with no windows and dirt floors.
