If a call goes sideways, and somebody dies, they’re charged with murder and publicly decried and condemned in advance of any investigation. How much do they get paid a month? Does the “community” honor their “commitment” to them, or are they the scapegoat of convenience for politicians and rioters.
lol
was saying on another thread that i walked right into a few hundred blm protesters in brooklyn.
it was a unique experience :)
This won’t change until there is a mass walk out of every police officer in a big city.
Enjoy a “day without police” Atlanta.
She needs to take her case to the mob she is pandering to.
Atlanta has burned once and she had better get her mind straight before it burns again.
Committment to Commmunity?
What about the Mayors Committement to Community.
Seems that she bailed to support a mob rather than the Community.
She is sparkin for Joe Biden’s Shotgun Seat instead of being committed to the community.
Her outward appearance is oone of beauty and intelligence.
She has made a huge mistake in playing to the mob.
The entire police dept. of Atlanta a may simply quit and move to fly over country.
Many, many more police officers should get the blue flu, as they call it, or simply quit.
One can not be true to an oath working for a criminal and corrupt, leftist mayor.
JoMa
Democrat mayors amaze me. They call fur the death of officers and then demand they keep their commitments to the community.
The “community” broke its commitment to the Police a long time ago.
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......
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.

It's not enough money to do that job. It's not nearly enough money to do that job.
Yep - told her to fulfil her commitment and defend those who risk it all for the ingrates who want to eradicate them.
HMMMmmm...
Hey mayor, how bout you step down.
I don’t blame the police for not wanting to be subjected to THIS:
Mark Levin [FB post]
“If you watched this just-ended press conference with the Fulton County, GA district attorney, you should be stunned — a disgusting performance by a political DA, trying a case at a one-sided media event, and charging the officer with felony murder (!) and anything else the DA could throw against the wall (this is called, politely, overcharging). Now we will see who truly believes in justice and who does not, and who has the courage to speak out and who does not.”

You can’t order police officers to die for your politics

From the link:
Suggesting that Congress can simply roll out some new rules about a crisis situation where the cops wind up in a physical and potentially deadly confrontation with a subject is magical thinking. First of all, you’re talking about a vanishingly rare event for the most part. I mentioned these statistics in a previous article, but they bear repeating. In 2017 there were more than ten and a half million arrests made in the United States.That doesn’t even take into account the even larger number of police stops and interactions that ended without an arrest. The vast, vast majority of arrests ended without any notable incidents. A little over 900 of them ended with the police shooting a suspect and killing them. (The majority of whom were white, by the way.) That’s a vanishingly small number. I mention this only for perspective.
Coming from a family with more than our fair share of cops, the attitude I detect from some of these Democrats is simply insulting. Do you honestly think that there are police out there in any measurable numbers who get up in the morning and put on their uniform hoping that they’ll get the chance to put someone in a chokehold that day? Do you think they’re dreaming of the chance to shoot somebody, particularly when the odds are that the suspect will be shooting back at them? That’s the last thing pretty much any officer in the country wants. They would prefer to see and respond to no crimes and have a peaceful community. And if they are called on to respond to an incident, they would like it resolved calmly. They want to go home to their families that night every bit as much as you do.
But sometimes officers encounter a criminal who will never comply with orders and will either flee or get into an altercation with the cops. As we’ve seen from too many witness videos by now (such as the Rayshard Brooks shooting), things can go from boring and normal to violent and potentially deadly in under a second. Yes, there needs to be plenty of training in how to respond. And there should be standard practices in place so every officer knows the best way to handle such an incident, ensuring the greatest chance that the episode will be resolved with nobody getting hurt. But human nature is a funny thing, and it’s not always going to work out the way you would like.
There may come a time in any officer’s career where their life will be literally on the line with almost no time to respond. At close quarters, a chokehold may turn out to be the only viable (and hopefully nonlethal) option. At a distance against an armed assailant, they may have to draw and potentially use their firearm. And they don’t need to be worrying about whether they’re going to lose their job over it. Most of the well-heeled people in Congress who are cranking out these rules have most likely never seen an episode like the one I described above and would probably pee themselves if they suddenly found themselves in that position. (My apologies to the combat vets currently serving in the legislative branch.) Threatening to punish them if they don’t conform to your ideas (or those of your most rabid supporters) of how they should save their own lives demonstrates a lack of moral fiber on the part of our elected officials.
We ask a lot of our police officers. Probably too much in some cases. With the exception of a few rotten apples we need to weed out quickly and aggressively, they are all out there on the front lines fighting so you can have a peaceful life under the rule of order and exercise all of your freedoms. Seeking to exert this sort of granular control over them from on high is offensive. And if a lot of them start walking off the job after this I certainly couldn’t blame them.
I hope they keep pushing back and it extends to the other cities like NYC. The politicians think they can keep pounding and pounding the police and not stand up for them. It is really ashame this has to happen, but it looks like it is the only way around it.
