In the course of a five-minute speech, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms became a national figure credited with trying to soothe tensions across her city and saw her stature rise as a possible running mate for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
“When I saw the murder of George Floyd, I hurt like a mother would hurt,” Ms. Bottoms said at a news conference May 29 as people across the country protested Mr. Floyd’s killing while in police custody in Minneapolis. She shared her plea to her 18-year-old son...
The mayor is racist
He was on parole for beating his wife and kids. He was driving drunk, beating cops, and stealing their weapons. But this is about race of course. She is the racist. I hope all Atlanta police quit or stop doing their jobs. The people of Atlanta deserve to be on their own.
Rayshard Brooks wasn’t going back to jail without a fight. The reason why he was so cordial before the cops started to cuff him, but then snapped, was that he knew a DUI was a violation of his parole and that he would be sent back to jail.
They should adopt a majority minority police force, government, and social services. Working swimmingly in Baltimore city...🤔
It's so very convenient how they leave out facts about Mr Brooks: Currently serving a 7 year prison sentence for CHILD ABUSE! Released from prison on Parole due to COVID-19. Was being arrested for DUI which was a violation of his parole! Clearly he didn't want to go back to Jail!
Start by telling the 'community' to stop committing crimes!!
2018 Chicago 2,705,000 People 565 Murders 2018 Chicago Murder victims/suspects: Black 79.89%, Hispanic 13.70%, White 5.69%, 80% of victims and 92% of offenders had criminal records.
2018 NYPD Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter Victims Black (62.6%) Hispanic (24.9%). White victims (9.6%) Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter Suspects Black (61.9%) Hispanic (31.0%) White suspects (5.4%).
“We oppress ourselves thru cultural dynamics that we refuse to identify and deal with, aint white man or the system , the system will make you rich if you do the right things. System ain’t against you, you are against you cause you been brainwashed”
In 2019 cops killed 1004 people. 370 whites, 235 blacks, 158 Hispanic, 39 other, 202 unknown. 375,000,000 police interactions annually & only a 1000 killed. White Lives Matter is not concerned, We LOVE LE, and we don’t care if white criminals get shot by police, they know better.
Sad that this encounter turned out the way it did. I sure hope the mayor closely scrutinizes Brooks DUI, FIGHTING with police and let’s not forget DISARMING the officer of his taser then firing it at him.
cops are not racists...just fuking sinister...deliberately chosen because of their ability to be cruel to its people
I guess due process doesn’t apply to cops anymore. Clearly this was not race related.
justthisguyhere comments...lol...getting stopped by police these days means a 50/50 chance of living...If they had a whip instead of tasers they'd fuking use it and join whipping clubs...at what point did judge Dredd think I'm ending your life. Too many times
The mayor should be fired immediately for allowing such looting burning destruction to the city of Atlanta & the treatment towards law enforcement. A leader has a spine, a leader goes against immorality, criminal conduct & does not condone it. She is not a leader, period
Was clearly self defence and Ms Bum got it wrong
She straight up fired the cop and said it was because of racism before the body cam footage was even released. She didn't see anything to make the calls she made. Irresponsible leadership
racial disparities in murders and other violent crimes is ignored by the mayor just as they are ignored in Baltimore and Chicago as it would mean admission of failure
Handling protesting violence is paramount too your success also
Keisha is gourgous.
Yes I'm sure she'll be analyzing every crook and cranny of the politics of every step she makes.
It seems that it could be prejudicial to the investigation
She's a mayor of Deliberate Intentional Real Change for Atlanta! We Support Mayor KeishaBottoms 100% As Mayor of Atlanta! Let's Continue voting for her she's going to need a lot of time as Mayor to make real change! Keep voting her in as Mayor over and over again!
So Democrat mayors hate hard-working Americans, small businesses, police, children and playgrounds, the elderly, political rallies, unborn babies, Christians and Jews,... And Democrat mayors endorse protests, rioting, looting, and fires, illegal aliens, BLM, and ANTIFA...
Here we go again talking about 'racial disparities in policing', but we can never, ever discuss racialdisparitiesincriminality .
That killing may have had nothing to do with race.... just a bad cop over reacting...
the guy was drunk in the drivers seat fought two cops punched them both in the face stole a taser shot a cop with it ran turned fired it again and was killed THATS NOT RACISM!!
Are criminals going to change their racial disparities in committing crimes? just asking ...
So turning to aim something at a cop will get you favorable press time?
Here's a hint. Don't resist arrest idiots. Shooting is justified.
Resist arrest, punch, shoot a taser at a police officer and you will die. Everyone should know this already.
