Garrett Rolfe back in, Keisha Lance-Bottoms out!
As predicted, Garrett Rolfe was reinstated and will get back pay for being fired for the Rayshard Brooks shooting. Meanwhile, Keisha Lance-Bottoms, who started the downward spiral in Atlanta crime with this firing, among other things, has conceded defeat in the battle and won't seek re-election. What a huge waste of taxpayer dollars that firing was, all for expedient political show, and has cost the city of Atlanta in more ways than one, not the least of which is now an uncontrollable crime problem, which was also predicted as a result of this firing. Any moron (except Mayor Bottoms apparently) could see that the police force was going to lie down after the Mayor cut their legs out from under them every chance she got, and went on national TV talking about how their actions they were trained to perform in the line of duty "made her sick".

Monday Morning Quaterbacking??
That is like when one of my soldiers was bitten by a snake and went to the nearest emergency room and the Army did not want to pay saying the snake was not poisonous. My response was, he did not ask the snake! The cop had a split second decision where the violent perp fighting him pointed a firearm at the cop and fired. END OF DISCUSSION!
[QUOTE=Niteluvr;5342845]Interesting, but I saw a video where a former police chief viewed the video and said the cop's life wasn't considered to be in imminent danger, so I'm guessing that's the angle that the prosecutor will use. I'm curious to watch the trial to see how it pans out. Certainly not a fan of Brooks as he was a piece of shit, but I also don't believe in allowing cops to go overboard either.
As an aside, I'm glad that the Atlanta mayor is on her way out. She seemed way too pro Black (racially biased) and harbored a general hatred of white cops. I don't know the demographic makeup of APD officers, but guessing that the majority are white and they probably despised her. Anyone know?[/QUOTE]
