#4 Yeah, burn the restaurant down that had nothing to do with the shooting. That'll teach them. Idiots.

And if you watch the footage, the guy had been drinking, was passed out in his car, and the police were polite and even gentle with him at the start of the incident. Then the guy was resisting arrest with force, battery on a law officer, and evading arrest for a DUI, stole the taser from the police officer, and then shot the taser at the officer. He was no hero, no matter how much BLM wants to use him as such.

The City of Atlanta are going to lose the case - they fired the cop and he will win his lawsuit. Union will get him back. And any "murder" chage will not fly, not even manslaughter can be held. Guy has been drinking, resisted arrest, took a weapon from an officer, ran and fired it striking the officer and putting him out of the chase - so the pursuing office can assume the suspect is hostile, has shown willingness to engage the police with force, is suspected of a felony (DUI), and the officer believed that he was a threat and might have a weapon. Case closed, you'll never get a conviction if the guy has competent representation and gets a change of venue.

And why the hell burn the Wendys down? They had nothing to do with it, and now you've just destroyed a business and jobs in the neighborhood. Damned fools.

#8 Burnt the Wendy's down?!? You gotta be kidding me. Oh, well, just another example of the lack of rational thought and intelligence on the part of the mob.

#9 Face it: if the dead guy had been using an AK-47, the results would have been the same - cop fired, police chief resigned,riots.
People are just looking for an excuse at this point.

#10 What is the dynamic behind the police chief resigning? Given that affirmative action hires are generally useless to mediocre at best, I can see the mayor may have "suggested" it. Or maybe she just decided to exist stage left to avoid the coming shit show. Not familiar with the internals of Atlanta politics.

#11 /\ Not familiar with the internals of Atlanta politics.

#12 Shields was a good police chief, if she is smart it was to avoid the shit show to come. She also still holds a position in the police epartment .

#13 The "person" that set fire to the Wendy's was a white college student.

Yeah, the shooting was just an excuse.

Time to use an axehandle across the nose on these people. Two or three times.

#14 This sh*t has to stop! If it goes on much farther there will be bloodshed, and those of us who remember how revolutions were grown in the 50's see signs that this could escalate into real civil war, which is exactly what these Marxists want. The perfect storm of lockdown, a generation of college minds bent to socialism and ignorance, and blacks who are too ignorant to know the lies they have been led to believe as they see liberal programs that spend 22 trillion dollars end in abysml poverty, social wastelands, ruined families, hopeless young black men taught that racism explains their dismal futures, and a cowardly white middle class terrified and feeling powerless. This is not going to end well, but it needs to end now, by force, before it gets far more tragic and far more bloody. And above all, we must silence and prosecute the organizers and enthusiastic supports of this mess who see national chaos as a tool to limp SloJoe into the White House and power to return to the progressive, socialist agenda. Some are public officials, some are working this from their seats in China and Moscow.
