    Another violent weekend in Atlanta area leaves at least 24 shot, six dead | Fox News

    Why do you think this is happening? An AG that is more concerned about illegally firing police officers that safeguard civilian lives then about doing her job. Now they can not get police to work within the city. The results is obvious. 24 shot and 6 dead. It is the same story everywhere. In every major city. You attack those doing the job of policing, and you will not have anyone that wants to be police. In New York, you have stories of police officers retiring in record numbers. Same in Seattle and Portland. This is our new norm? How do we protect the citizens in these cities? Don't you believe that they rate to be protected? It is past time that we start ignoring the fringe liberal hysteria. It is time we make politicians do what they are paid to do. That is protect the city and their citizens. If they can't do that, then they need to find new jobs.

    Poverty is correlated to crime. Liberals don't want to admit this simple, epistemological truth. Pandering to skin colors is more politically convenient for them.

    Prisons are for-profit organizations. They keep a ton of people employed. This is why politicians don't really work toward solving problems. It's to their advantage to keep everybody ramped up for a fight.

    Prison guards are paid crap. And we lock people up because they're a danger to society. So you want to separate them from society to protect people who don't break the laws.

    Funny, the more Democrats try to release criminals from jail or prison, the higher the violent crime rates go.

    The man shot was black, and officers were black. Now, what does that matter? Rayshard Brooks was shot after the fought with police stole one of their tasers, and tried to shoot the officer in the head. The officer was guilty of violating shooting a firearm in an area where others could be injured. One of his shots entered the car of a passing motorist. Luckily, no one in that car was injured. But the Shooting of Brooker was completely justified. As I pointed out on numerous occasions, the shooting met the requirements under the Atlanta operating procedures. An officer can shoot a fleeing armed suspect. But justice will never be served in this case. First the Mayor fired the officer without cause, and then the AG charged him with the wrong crime. Now the Officer is back on the job, and the AG will never get a indictment. This is hampered further, because the AG used Grand Jury subpoenas when there was no grand jury empaneled. Why is their no Grand Jury empaneled? Because of Covid-19. The case is furthered muddled by the fact that the former AG preferred charges against the officer without consulting the GBI. This is a clear violation of Georgia law that requires the GBI investigate all officer involved shootings to rule on justification. The the AG issued charges against the officer in an effort to help his reelection efforts. It did not work. He lost the election, but his replacement has recluse herself because of the way the Former AG handled the case. Even if an GJ is empaneled in the case, they never could get an indictment. As a result, there will be no justice for the family that had a bullet enter their car as they were passing the scene, Now, the officers are back on the job. They need to be, because they can not get anyone else to do the job. The Police Chief resigned the day after the shooting. As I have said before. It is time for Politicians to start doing the job they are getting paid to do. That is protecting their citizens.

    When did it become a right to fight the police, resist arrest, and to flee the police? It used to be a truism that if you did any of these things, you would guarantee yourself a quick death. Yet, now the only thing you are guaranteed is a large donation into a gofundme account. It is time to turn this around. We need to support the police, and stop supporting domestic terrorists.

    Worse then Black Supremacists? Highly questionable. The average white person can not name a white supremacy organization. Only a very small percentage of whites belong to one of them. Yet can you say the same for BLM? The so-called capital riot had participatents of all races. Yet, that was deemed a white supremacists riot, and an insurrection. Yet they only damaged one building, and never declared an autonomous zone? For the BLM, that would be considered business as usual. Yet white supremacists are the worse? Not hardly!

    Really? The average white person cannot name a white supremacy organization? That's a lie. Saying that black lives matter isn't the same as saying black lives are better. There's a difference. One you probably will refuse to see, but there is regardless.

    The insurrectionists at the capitol tried to stop a constitutional process resulting from a legal and fair election. Declaring an autonomous zone isn't any better or worse, but quite irrelevant. And yet, if it was business as usual for BLM, they didn't try to stop a legal and constitutional process. So I guess it's not business as usual for them based on reality.

    In any case, none of this has to do with why 24 people were shot in Atlanta.

    That's what liberals have been saying for decades, actually, that crime and poverty are correlated.

    Maybe we should pay criminals not to commit crimes. If a criminal decides to rob a store, he could then go to the government and they would give him a $1000 not to commit the crime. Of course, it would have to be on the honor system.

    Now they're saying crime is okay as long as you're black.

    No. That's incorrect. I don't doubt that someone somewhere said that, but that person doesn't speak for all liberals or all of anyone really. Unless you're going to allow that anything said by any self-proclaimed right winger applies to all of those to the right of center of the political spectrum...which I doubt you will allow.

    Black Lives clearly do not matter in our DP ruled urban hell holes.

    If Black Lives Mattered ordinary black Americans would have been encouraged to carry handguns decades ago.

    Liberals are absolutely saying crime is okay if you're black. Pay attention to last year's riots.

    Pay attention to the media when 30 people are murdered in Chicago or Detroit on a normal weekend - that's perfectly fine.

    I did pay attention. I and many other liberals never said that.

    No where has anyone said 30 people being murdered is "fine." You may interpret things that way, but that's you saying it.

    Many liberals in the media absolutely did. Thanks for playing.
    The media ignores it. Which is the same as condoning it when they harp on a white guy shooting someone.

    Many? How many? Give me a number. I'm not playing. I'm rooting out what's called creative story telling disguised as factual debate.

    No, it's very much not the same. And the media doesn't ignore it, it sadly doesn't generate as much ad revenue as other stories do. Local news reports on all those murders, however, and they are the media. So you are once again creating a false narrative and repeating it to try and create truth where none exists.

    Liberals aren't fine with all those murders, but we're told that if we try and address the roots of it, chiefly poverty, that such solutions are wrong and your ilk offer up no solutions at all. So the problem continues. So perhaps its you who condone it.

    782 murders in Chicago in 2020 alone. Far more than the white "mass murders" in total over the last 15 years. Thanks for asking.
