Atlanta, GA — The arrest and murder of George Floyd last month set off one of the largest protests in American history. Unfortunately, they were not all peaceful and many places saw rioting and destruction as many communities found themselves unable to contain their rage. Atlanta, Georgia was one of these places. After the protests began to subside, however, something quite telling began to happen in the city. Crime dropped dramatically.
Prior to Atlanta officers killing Rayshard Brooks in a botched DUI stop, crime began plummeting. Even after the brief unrest from protests due to Brooks, crime was still on the decline.
Though many officers from the APD called in sick after the cop who killed Brooks was charged, records show they were refusing to do their jobs well before this.
According to a scathing report from WSB-TV, prior to police killing Brooks and throwing a collective temper tantrum, traffic stops were already down a whopping 80 percent. When cops aren’t extorting people for victimless crimes like window tint, license plate lights, seat belts and other arbitrary “offenses,” there is no need to “defund police” because this will do that for them.
The union representative who spoke to WSB-TV said the officers are refusing to do their jobs because they are scared to be put in jail if they hurt someone. Seriously...........read more...........
