Atlanta PD Walks Out

If you've seen the video, you have seen the following:

• A DUI of an initially compliant subject;
• the subject ramps it up to 100 in a fraction of a second, fighting two officers and effectively keeping his hands free;
• he disarms an officer of his taser - a less lethal weapon, but lethal in some cases. This is an incapacitation weapon, meaning the offender could upgrade to a gun;
• he fires the taser, plain as day, on the video. If these are the new tasers, there's another shot ready to go, therefore immediate danger;
• the officer fires and strikes the now armed assailant.

And for all of this, the officer is fired before the sun even came up and is facing a felony murder charge, for what under every single Use of Force model we can locate, and every Supreme Court decision we can look up,  is a justified shooting:

• Prosecutors brought murder charges Wednesday against the white Atlanta police officer who shot Rayshard Brooks in the back, saying that the black man posed no threat when he was gunned down and that the officer kicked him and offered no medical treatment as he lay dying on the ground.

The prosecutor blindsided the investigating agency with charges before the investigation was even complete.

The prosecutor is also facing an investigation of his own for outright corruption, stealing $195,000 from a program for minority children, making this an obvious ploy to distract from his own thievery.

And tonight, the Atlanta Police Department walked out of at least two precincts, possibly as many as four:

• The head of Atlanta’s police union confirmed Wednesday that officers from the Atlanta Police Department in Zones 3 and 6 walked off the job Wednesday afternoon.
  
  Vince Champion, southeast regional director of the International Brotherhood of Police officers, said that police officers had stopped answering calls midshift, in response to charges against Officer Garrett Rolfe who is accused of murdering Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta.
  
  “The union, we would never advocate this. We wouldn’t advocate a blue flu,” Champion said. “We don’t know the numbers. Apparently we’re learning that command staff are asking outlying counties for support and aren’t getting it.”

Atlanta PD is getting a huge reason to be fetal from here on out. Perhaps the citizens will vote some of these corrupt pandering fools out of office.
