Atlanta police see 'higher than usual number of call outs' after charges announced against officers

Blue flu...

Already been disproved. 4 out of 6 precincts walked out at shift change.

Why would they lie? What would they hope to gain?

I see. So no one on this forum actually said it's OK for police to violate the Constitutional protections of people in order to ensure officer safety. You were just wondering why people think that it's OK for police officers to violate rights to ensure officer safety even though you're the only one who said that was the case. Sure...that makes sense.

You guys quit being "insulted/offended" and debate. Folks will think your politicians or something.

Besides nobody wants to type that much.

Everyone please calm down.
This is a contentious discussion. Please take a deep breath before posting.

Thank you!

Everyone please calm down.

Stop resisting!















Sorry. Seemed fitting for the thread.

Looks like APD stated it wasn’t going on and now there’s conflicting reports.

"Reading a couple of responses has me wondering, if there’s only a few bad apples then why do cops need qualified immunity?

Other comments have me wondering why people think it’s ok for a cop to violate people’s Constitutional Rights in order to secure the cops safety. Growing up, I always thought that a big part of the respect we held for officers came from them purposely risking their lives in certain situations so as not to violate the Constitutional Rights of the citizens of this country."

That comment? I believe it was requested of you to show those comments that lead you to believe people think it's ok for a cop to violate people's Constitutional Rights.

I already know that some people believe it’s ok for cops to violate people’s Constitutional Rights in order to secure their safety. I stated that comments had me wondering about that concept, because many of the comments I see here echo the same talking points that I hear from blue lives matter groups, online police forums and newsletters, personal conversations I’ve had with law enforcement officers, and the list goes on and on. I’ve also seen plenty of cell phone footage of officers stating as much, there’s an entire online community devoted to policing the police so to speak and they glamorize videos of citizens schooling cops on the law and their rights.

I enjoy seeing different perspectives to news and what’s going on in the world, to hear different opinions, and I try to take much of it with a grain of salt.

What I don’t appreciate is immediately being attacked and having my words attempted to be turned against me by triggered individuals.
