Mayor Bottoms (Atlanta) calls it right.

[Legend]

This is an awful story from the weekend.

Protestors put up illegal barriers near the Rayshard Brooks Wendy’s. Woman with her kids crossed the barrier.  Protestors fired into the car and killed an 8 year old.

the mayor spoke out loudly. Not sure how much play it’s getting outside of the foxnews echo chamber.

“Enough is enough. We have talked about this movement that’s happening across America and this moment in time when we have the ears and the interests of people across this country and across this globe who are saying they want to see change. But the difference in this moment in time with the civil rights movement — the civil rights movement, there was a defined, common enemy. We’re fighting the enemy within when we are shooting each other up on our streets.”

There are a lot of reality checks that are going to be happening as police pull back from aggressive policing.  This is one.

Good for her. I wonder if that is part of the Biden VP audition. More Big city mayors need to speak up like she did. Having a white guy in the Senate say the same thing won’t reach anyone that should hear this.

Well, the white guy in the ga governor’s mansion decided that bottoms’s City is out of control and is calling out the national guard.

crazy times. Prosecute the police, call out the national guard.
