Another Democrat run sh*thole, another police mass exodus from the city. This time, it’s Atlanta, one of the most dangerous places in the country (and as we saw in the election, one of the most corrupt). Atlanta, has become a nightmare. Last year saw tons of riots, looting and arson, that the media ignored, and the police have been blamed by the communists. Failed mayor Buttox-Bottoms has blamed the police for basically everything, and they’ve had it.
Lt. Mark Cooper spent 26 years as an Atlanta police officer. His goal was to hit the 30-year mark, collect his pension, and go but he had to cut his journey short.
“Until last week, I was proud to tell everyone that I met that I work for the Atlanta Police Department,” he said in his June 10 resignation letter obtained exclusively by the Washington Examiner.
His view of the department changed following the arrest of six Atlanta police officers after a video surfaced of them pulling two college students out of their car during a protest.
The incident went viral and only added to the distance and vitriol growing between law enforcement and the people they are paid to police. Cooper said the officers were following directives from higher-ups but were thrown under the bus by leadership who should have had their backs.
“The direction this department has taken is nothing more than sad,” he wrote. “I was a long-time believer in our leadership, but I am now disappointed to find out just truly how poor it is.”
