Multiple Reports: Atlanta Cops Walk Out in Protest

Good. Democrat cities should taste utter lawlessness.

The Democrat media complex has put a bullseye on the head of every police officer.

Former Atlanta Officer Garrett Rolfe charged with murder, could face death penalty in the death of Rayshard Brooks

Multiple Reports: Atlanta Cops Walk Out in Protest

Swathes of police officers in Atlanta, GA, are “walking off the job,” according to multiple reports published Wednesday evening.

Todd Starnes tweeted, “BREAKING NEWS: Georgia police sources tell me only two police precincts are staffed in the entire city of Atlanta. Entire zones of officers are walking off the job. Zones 1,3,5 and 6 have left their posts. Zones walking off the job. #BlueLivesMatter.”

Atlanta’s CBS affiliate reported that it had confirmed the walkout through its own sources:

Several Atlanta Police officers have reportedly walked off the job at precincts across the city. The claim comes hours after charges were filed against ex officer Garrett Rolfe and Officer Devin Brosnan in the Rayshard Brooks’ case.

The buzz of patrol officers staging walkouts and refusing to answer calls from Precincts 3,5,6 and others began circulating social Wednesday evening. CBS46 confirmed the walkout through sources at 8:30 p.m.

The Atlanta Police Department acknowledged a “higher than usual number of call outs” on Wednesday evening while claiming that it had the resources necessary to “respond to incidents.”

Atlanta’s FOX affiliate also reported on the police walkouts, stating that it had “received several tips that officers were walking off the job en masse.” It linked the reported police walkouts to the charges — including felony murder — against 27-year-old former Atlanta Police Officer Garrett Rolfe, who shot and killed 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks.

Breitbart News reported on the incident between Rolfe and Brooks:

Police body camera video shows Brooks and officers having a relatively calm and respectful conversation for more than 40 minutes before things rapidly turned violent. Brooks wrestled with officers, snatched one of their stun guns, and turned and pointed it at one of them as he ran through the parking lot. Rolfe then opened fire.

Morale among Atlanta’s police “is down tenfold,” said Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) on Wednesday.

According to the Atlanta Police Foundation, eight of the city’s police officers have resigned since the beginning of June.

Who can blame them? Police are abused too. Dumping liquid on them and another officer had a BLM supporting business, Shake Shack or something like that., where an employee put BLEACH in their coffee. Others refuse to serve them etc..When will they start throwing acid at them instead of water? Criminals are often better armed than they are. They aren’t allowed to do their job when ordered to “stand down”. ALL police are being lumped together as abusers. Imagine how demoralizing that is fpr the majority of them that are good. They aren’t ALL abusers. Weed out the bad ones and raise your kids right!!
Be careful….you may wind up wth this –

We take good care of our local police and have little to no crime. When others are high or drunk, that’s when the trouble escalates. Where are the parents? Where are the clergy? Who is raising them? Kids on the street? In my day growing up, you had respect for authority and didn’t behave like that and it kept you out of trouble. Weed out the bad cops or you won’t have ANY of them becoming cops. They’ll be replaced with lawless BLM and ANTIFA types. Then people will really have something to fear and complain about. The majority of cops are good. It’s already becoming more difficult to enlist more good cops.

It’s stupid to resist arrest or take an officers weapon but that shouldn’t mean a death sentence unless the officer’s life is threatened. That can be a tough judgment call to make in seconds. To avoid all this, obey laws, lay off the drugs and alcohol and don’t resist arrest. When police get called, they often don’t know what they are dealing with.

Off topic – Another outrageous Supreme Court decision-

Supreme Court Rejects Trump Admin’s Rescinding of DACA
By BREITBART NEWS 18 Jun 2020

(Remember this was an Obama edict – not an EO and never voted on.)

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected President Donald Trump’s effort to end legal protections for 650,000 young immigrants, a stunning rebuke to the president in the midst of his reelection campaign.

The justices rejected administration arguments that the 8-year-old Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program is illegal and that courts have no role to play in reviewing the decision to end DACA.

Chief Justice John Roberts, joined by his four liberal colleagues, wrote for the court that the administration did not pursue the end of the program properly.
(What utter BULL *HIT! This is petty….and an imaginary excuse… by wifey Roberts..)

“We do not decide whether DACA or its rescission are sound policies,“ Roberts wrote. “We address only whether the agency complied with the procedural requirement that it provide a reasoned explanation for its action. Here the agency failed to consider the conspicuous issues of whether to retain forbearance and what if anything to do about the hardship to DACA recipients.”

The court’s four conservative justices dissented. Justice Clarence Thomas, in a dissent joined by Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, wrote that DACA was illegal from the moment it was created under the Obama administration in 2012.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in a separate dissent that he was satisfied that the administration acted appropriately in trying to end the program.

The SCOTUS decision is illegal.

Ignore it Trump, that is called nullification!

The SCOTUS can NOT legislate from the bench!

The SCOTUS can ONLY uphold existing law based on the US Constitution and uses the precedent of existing laws to rule on cases before them.

Obama’s memo is not a law! The SCOTUS has NO STANDING to rule upholding an illegal memo!

“There is only one word for what the Court has done today: legislation,” writes Justice Samuel Alito in a dissent Justice Clarence Thomas joined. “…A more brazen abuse of our authority to interpret statutes is hard to recall.”

What Justice Roberts is doing is creating Precedent that makes any Presidents Executive order into being a Law – and Obama made a lot of such EO’s that no one could actually figure out at the time.

Obama’s DACA and DAPA was only a POLICY. It wasn’t even and EO!

I firmly believe that Justice Roberts should be impeached and removed from the bench. He’s been legislating, which is not his job.

They can answer the call at 10 mph in their cars and take the scenic route and report that they are in route. The same practice can be used for the return trip. Once they have been dispatched it will be a supervisors problem to reroute them to a more important call as it is beyond the dispatchers responsibility.

One can also follow every single traffic law and department policy to the letter. Something I’d suggest the Atlanta LEOs do when their city inevitably gets a court order forcing to return to duty. Grind that place to a halt by following ALL the rules…

Are they under special protection standing “better” human beings ?

When told to stand down, why would they remain in the area? What purpose does that serve?? When they are told to stand down they should just walk off and let the worthless city officials face the problem with protestors(looters, vandalists, antifa terrorists).

Two days for celebration: when the DA goes to jail and when the charges are dropped on this great cop!

Here are my predictions, the DA in this case filed felony murder charges even before the Georgia Bureau of Investigation had finished their work as an election ploy to mollify those bent on revenge instead of justice.

Should he win in that runoff election, he can then reduce the charges to something more manageable in open court, possibly allowing the defendant cop to plead it down to next to nothing, instead of losing the case outright.

It’s hard to trust anyone these days running for office or being apointed or confirmed.
Look at Gorsuch and Roberts.

He can reduce the charges???? You think he would do that????? From the way he is characterizing what happened, I suspect if he thought there was a way to do so semi-legally, he would throw the officers out to a mob of BLM//Klantifa, and let them do whatever they want with them.

The Mob wants to kill the police.
The Silent Majority is not backing the police.

As a policeman I would quit the service immediately and exclusively protect my family and friends – and nobody and nothing else – until my personal safety as a member of the police is guaranteed.

A second or two before the video cuts off you can clearly see a flash of a discharge from the taser yet this report does no mention that the taser was fired at the police officer. Once again are our lying eyes not telling us the democrat fabricated truth? I have watched the video of the incident well over 30 times and each time my lying eyes see the perp firing the taser at the cop.

The WORST part is that the DA started spewing instead of letting a Grand Jury decide. The officers were tried and convicted before they even had their day in court! Our laws have turned upside down and We The People better do something to straighten out this stinking mess!

Today, in my state (Oregon) in Portland, complete mindless morons took down the statue of George Washington and threw burning American flags on top of it! Enough is ENOUGH of this BS!! I don’t know about others, but I’m locked and loaded and ready to stop the insanity with whatever it takes!
