I am currently listening to the streaming of the Atlanta PD Zone 6 and Zone 5 and the traffic is almost zero. Last I heard, they were taking care of a vehicular accident and after that nothing much. I even heard a call for “Any Available Units” go unanswered.
Twitter is awash with support for Atlanta PD and supporting the unconfirmed walkout. Some say half the shift is gone, but again, it is unconfirmed.
If true that cops are walking out, CNN will be crapping on its pants soon.
Will be see another Atlanta Burning? Inquiring Shermans want to know.
Reports breaking now that large numbers of Atlanta PD officers quit responding to radio calls earlier this evening, and now large numbers have reportedly driven to their precincts, turning in the keys, and gone home. The story below has to do with the decision by Fulton County DA Paul Howard to file felony murder charges against Officer Garret Rolfe in connection with the shooting on Friday night of Rayshard Brooks in the parking lot of a Wendy’s restaurant after Brooks fought with two officers, took a taser away from one of them, and then fired the taser at Off. Rolfe as was chasing Brooks.
The now-fired Atlanta Police officer who faces a felony murder charge for fatally shooting Rayshard Brooks last week kicked the 27-year-old man after he fell to the ground, Fulton County’s district attorney said Wednesday.
DA Paul Howard announced 11 charges against Garrett Rolfe, who fired three shots at Brooks, two of which hit Brooks in the back and another that hit a car with three people inside.
(a) A person commits the offense of murder when he unlawfully and with malice aforethought, either express or implied, causes the death of another human being.
(b) Express malice is that deliberate intention unlawfully to take the life of another human being which is manifested by external circumstances capable of proof. Malice shall be implied where no considerable provocation appears and where all the circumstances of the killing show an abandoned and malignant heart.
(c) A person also commits the offense of murder when, in the commission of a felony, he causes the death of another human being irrespective of malice.
(d) A person convicted of the offense of murder shall be punished by death, by imprisonment for life without parole, or by imprisonment for life.
This is beyond obscene let alone reasonable. The DA Paul L. Howard is saying that Officer Rolfe had malice aforethought when he shot Brooks and that it was evident because Brooks did not provoke Rolfe. Either that or Officer Rolfe was committing a felony when he shot Brooks.
IANAL but I don’t see how that will stick?
Especially given Rolfe’s defense.
A law firm representing Rolfe said he reacted after he thought he “heard a gunshot and saw a flash in front of him.”
A taser sounds like a gunshot. It uses a pyrotechnic charge to fire the darts. If Brooks discharged the taser Rolfe could have easily thought it was a gun.
Other arguments made by Howard are equally ludicrous.
This is the DA’s press conference started at the relevant part.
Brooks “never presented himself as a threat.”
Are you kidding me? He resisted, took a weapon from a cop, then pointed it at another cop. How much more presentation as a thread does he need?
I expect that Howard wanted Brooks to say “by the way, I’m going to tackle you, take your gun, and try and shoot you with it as soon as you try to put the handcuffs on me, so be warned.”
It is crystal clear that this overzealous prosecution is entirely politically motivated. I wouldn’t be surprised it Howard asked for the death penalty.
The message is being sent to the Atlanta PD loud and clear that the DA’s office cares more about the mob than the law.
This is the Atlanta PD right now:
I suspect that the Atlanta PD is going to watch this and say “fuck it” and that every cop car in the city will be out of service for a while.
Remember when I have said Philosophy is not Tactics? And also, “Never give the enemy more nails for your coffin”? Welcome to the real world. Our friend in the Albuquerque shooting made a little booboo.
Baca is now facing three charges of battery: one of aggravated battery that would likely result in death or great bodily harm to the male shooting victim and towards Jane Doe 1, one count of battery to an individual identified as Jane Doe 2, and another count of battery towards Jane Doe 3. Additionally, Baca is facing a charge of unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.
The two battery charges? He is gonna eat those because he did them, he is on video. But his defense claim is going to be a little (or a lot) harder for not properly carrying a concealed firearm.
He just went from George Zimmerman to Bernie Goetz: I still believe he will be acquitted of the Aggravated Battery with firearm, but I doubt a jury will let him skate on the rest or at least not cheaply.
I hoe he has a nice egg’s nest somewhere.
Dear friends: If your state require certain amount of legalities when it comes to firearms, obey them no matter how stupid they are. And then, help have those laws changed or eliminated for good, get involved, call or visit your reps. Be active in your support for the Second Amendment. Constitutional Carry does not happen just because you clicked “like” in Facebook in between scoops of Hagen Daz Rock Road.
I am gonna break once the prohibition of girl pics and gun bunnies because I am done with this woke stuff.
I support the elimination of Aunt Jemima as long as it is substituted by a blonde with big tits who shall be called Aunt Jenna and you have the suspicion you have seen her in a PornHub video.
Something like this.
It decorates the bottle so much better, don’t you think?
When we turn the key in the lock on the door of a prison or a detention facility, we put our collective knees on the necks of the most vulnerable people in America. The question is will we be listening to their pleas for life?

That’s right. Rapists, sex offenders, murderers, drug traffickers, thieves, they are our nation’s most vulnerable people.
Not the women and children who were sexually violated. Not the people who had their property stolen. Not the dead victims and their families left to pick up the pieces. Not those who overdosed.
No, they are not the most vulnerable. The people who did that to them are the most vulnerable.
This is peak “every criminal is really a victim of our racist and unfair system” and I can’t deal with it anymore.
Remember this?

Sorry if I believe that the woman in green getting punched and her daughter watching it happen are more vulnerable than the piece of shit beating her.
I’m fine with throwing that pile of garbage in a cell and locking the door.
And if he resisted arrest and the cops shot him or crushed the life out of him I just don’t fucking care.
God forbid this happen to my family or yours. It’s good to know that the Democrats will protect the man that beats your wife in front of your child more than they protect your wife and child.
Dr Fauci (paraphrased): “We bullshitted you about the effectiveness of cloth masks so you panicky sheeple didn’t buy up all the good masks we needed for healthcare workers.”
Some people trusted those bullshit masks and went out and got sick because humans engage in risk compensation.
A career criminal with more than 100 arrests to his name was busted for cruelly shoving a 92-year-old woman into a Manhattan fire hydrant — leaving his victim too scared to walk alone in her own neighborhood.
The injured elder, a Bronx native named Geraldine, spoke to The Post on Tuesday after cops arrested convicted sex offender Rashid Brimmage, 31, and charged him with attacking her.
This is not a misguided youth who had a moment of stupidity. This is grown-ass adult abusing a very old and defenseless woman.
And now, for the real outrage.
He was given a desk appearance ticket for the bust and ordered to return to court at the end of July.
So is this the official position of New York City? Fuck the Elderly? No wonder Cuomo and de Blasio had no issues contaminating retirement homes and assisted facilities with Wuhan V.
