In the wake of a shooting between Antifa terrorists and law enforcement at the site of a future public safety training facility and domestic terrorist activity in downtown Atlanta, Gov. Brian Kemp (R-Ga.) declared a 15-day state of emergency that allows him to call up the National Guard to deal with these out-of-town insurgents if need be.
Kemp wrote in his five-page executive order:
WHEREAS: In consultation with public safety officials and emergency preparedness officials, I have determined that the following actions are necessary and appropriate to protect public peace and provide for the safety and welfare of Georgia’s citizens, visitors, and property.
NOW, THEREFORE, PURSUANT TO THE AFOREMENTIONED GEORGIA LAW, CODE SECTION 38-3-51, CODE SECTION 45-12-29, AND THE AUTHORITY VESTED IN ME AS THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA, IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED: That because of unlawful assemblage, violence, overt threats of violence, disruption of the peace and tranquility of this state and danger existing to persons and property, a State of Emergency is declared in the State of Georgia.
The order comes as tensions could ratchet back up this weekend after five Memphis police officers face murder charges in the beating death of a suspect.
“The continued anti-police movement in Atlanta could also be further enflamed by the charging of five former Memphis police officers with second-degree murder and other crimes in the arrest and death of Tyre Nichols, a Black motorist who died three days after a traffic stop confrontation,” reports Fox 5. “Body camera video of the incident is expected to be released on Friday evening.”

Now back in ze gut old dayz, ve didn't have such problems.
The king of GA maybe expects his prosecutors are going to charge President Trump on a bogus phone call over observed election fraud..
About time someone took some forceful action.
Doesn’t making the declaration allow for Fed assistance? Calling in the National Guard etc.
Seems to me a prudent measure.
Kemp is a RINO. If he had some actual spine he would’ve declared a state of emergency, called up the national guard, issued a curfew and shoot on sight orders for said national guard.
Then if Klantifa thugs show up to riot, shoot them dead immediately.
I believe Kemp’s decision is appropriate. AnUStifa initiates violence and destruction with little provocation. This latest police brutality incident is their dream come true.
His marching orders fresh from WEF?
His marching orders fresh from WEF?
“He’s in campaign mode now. He’s trying to make himself out to be Mr Law and Order. Funny how he didn’t do any of that in 2020.”
“Kemp won in 2022. So he’s not in campaign mode now.”
Maybe he is thinking about throwing his hat into the ring for a shot at the Whitehut in 2024.
1800 hours this evening. Long weekend…
Possibly. He filed paperwork with the FEC.
Warnock has just under 6 years in his term.
Ossoff has 4 years left on his.
He just returned from davos with his marching orders and likely got paid. According to the WEF resistance is the emergency.
If the Governor activates them, it’s on the state.
Fed’s take over when they activate for something like a natural disaster or 9/11 type thing.
They might have some legit intel, I don’t know.
ALL the suburban jurisdictions made it policy to no long render mutual aid to City of Atlanta.
Winner Winner
Kemp is doing this in anticipation of more out if staters coming to Atlanta to riot in protest when the Memphis footage is released. After last week’s riot in Atlanta it makes sense.
Agree.
Interesting. So calling in the NG is really for those J6 type White Supremacists.
anti-police movement? The dumfux don’t realize that the police are there to protect THEM from US!
Good for Georgia. Additionally this makes Soros cry. Double win.
