Every single cop in Atlanta needs to walk out on this. Let the city of Atlanta fend for itself for a bit and see how they do

When the DA is dumber than the drunk driver who snatched a cop’s weapon and discharged it at them.

Guy in the background doesn't know how a mask works?

I thought to be a DA you had to be able to speak articulately. I thought Mayors had the ability to think critically. This is the problem when you elect people based on color rather than merits.

I hope the police quit in disgust. Let the place go to hell without them.

[dustinwilliams]

Wrong on so many levels. All cops should resign before they are put in a split second decision like this...

[robertjensen]

They're completely overcharging him. Throwing like 10 seperate charges at him that would total hundreds of years in prison. Insane. All because the cop was defending himself from a man pointing a dangerous weapon at him. In ANY other year in history, a cop would have been justified using this force.

I am in support of Atlanta's blue flu. I realize that this will cripple Atlanta but they are treating their law enforcement like crap. Take down that crappy mayor too!

[Thomas-fuvp]

WE THE PEOPLE, are confused.The trial has been carried out already. This is fast food justice.This DA has linguistic issues.

[brendagrimsley]

This is absolutely getting out of hand

[ukhillboy]

Good luck recruiting for the Police Dept in Atlanta now..

Question: Is a taser a deadly weapon?

“Earlier this month, Howard (Atlanta DA) charged six Atlanta police officers after dramatic video footage surfaced of them pulling two college students from a car and shooting them with a Taser. Howard concluded the use of a taser was deadly force.” -CNN

While speaking about the death of Rayshard Brooks:
“We've concluded that at the time Mr. Brooks was shot, he did not pose an imminent threat of serious injury to the officers.” -CNN

Wow. Cops should quit. Let the law abiding citizens go in and clean the scum out.

[GearHedd]

Any cop with half a brain cell should find a new job if this is gonna be the new normal. If the criminal is allowed to attack u, steal ur taser and shoot it at u... And ur supposed to stop them hand to hand like Bruce Lee or something? While they have ur taser? U would have to be nuts to sign up to do that work and be put in that situation...

[bernadettekennedy]

I was so angry I could not watch. Please someone start up a go fund me account to support these police officers. This is a bunch of crock. There needs to be a movement to support cops before they burn more Wendy's. The only reason why they are pressing charges is they're affaid of luters

[DM-wkgz]

We need a fundraiser to help all Atlanta cops who quit.

[arribaalianza]

Police department in Atlanta should go on strike.

Disgraceful!!!! Hope this man gets himself some good lawyers. This is insane but not shocking from a city that has a mayor whose very anti-cop.

[karenamanda]

I feel so bad for the law Inforcement! This is going to cause a civil war.

[enpassant]

Police turn your backs on these clowns just like you did in 2014 W Mayor Deblasio. How many politicians does it take to place a poster on an easel?!
