Confirmed: On-Duty Atlanta Police Officers Are Walking Off Job

Atlanta, GA – The Police Tribune has confirmed with International Brotherhood of Police Southeast Regional Director Vince Champion that Atlanta police officers are walking off the job Wednesday night.

Rumors started almost immediately after Howard’s press conference ended that officers were walking off of the job.

The department’s scanner activity was silent throughout much of the city as the rumors continued in law enforcement circles and right-wing Twitter.



Just got this email from an Atlanta police officer:

"Atlanta police officers are refusing to answer the radio and walking off of the job. The county can go screw themselves. If you want a society without police we’ll give you one. Let it burn!"

The Police Tribune has confirmed that the walkout is real.

“We don’t know the exact number – I’ve heard different stories. But we’ve heard that in at least three zones, the officers have actually walked out – we don’t know the number. We‘ve heard that in one precinct, the officers are in the precinct building but will not come out unless an officer calls for assistance,” Champion told The Police Tribune.

“We are also hearing that some precincts are reporting that officers are just sitting in their POVs [personally-owned vehicles] in the parking lot,” Champion said. “The other thing is the city has already tried to reach out that I know of to two counties right adjacent to us – Cobb County and Gwinnett County – and those counties have said no, they won’t help. They’re not going to put their officers at risk of being fired or arrested.”

“It’s really important to understand that the union did not call for what the officers are doing right now,” Champion clarified. “I’d love to be able to say we did, but we can’t call for that because if you do a ‘Blue Flu’ or something like that and walk away from your job – that can get you fired. The union would never ask for this. What you have is a group of officers who are fed up. They have tried every way – they tried the nice way, if you will. They tried to wait for an investigation. The GBI is still investigating this – why would Paul Howard think his investigation would trump the state investigation?”

“The DA’s office is going after us and we are not going to stand for it anymore, so officers just left – and I think that speaks more to it than if it were an organized thing,” Champion said. “This wasn’t organized. This didn’t start happening until after the press conference when these officers saw what was happening to one of their own.”

“I’ve never seen anything this scary. The problem is what law enforcement is being told in the city of Atlanta right now is that even when you do your job as hard as it is, if they don’t like the way it looks they’ll fire you and attempt to put you in jail,” Champion said. “The felony murder that they want to charge this officer with is imprisonment without the chance of parole, so you’re in prison for the rest of your life.”

Champion then said that the charges against the officers are political.

Looks like it might get a little sporty in Atlanta.

If you shoot someone in the back, you should at least be charged with murder.  Everything else from then on is up to the courts, but the charges are correct.

Funny how bullies hate it when the shoe is on the other foot.

Curious exactly what percentage of the police do you think constitute this designation as "bullies" ?

Enough to give a bad impression.  But I can't say anything about specific officers as, unlike the police, I do not believe that steriotyping can be used to pidgeon-hole all of them into one category.

Interesting question,

"Are a percentage of police bullies"

Training for police here is very rigorous,

6 months from when you join the academy,

And before that there's is alot of selection criteria that you have to do before you even get to the academy,

https://www.stepforward.wa.gov.au/join-wa-police/recruit/selection-process/#stage1 - https://www.stepforward.wa.gov.au/join-wa-police/recruit/selection-process/#stage1

This involves psychometric testing, all designed to weed out those people who are "BULLIES"

I believe that training in the usa is only  3 months 

I stand to be corrected,

I might add my daughter is an educator in criminology......and  is heavily involved with the police here........

As well as that I have a work colleague who is just going through the selection process,

If he gets in I'll be amazed,

As he is a white racist expat South African,whos views 

Are disgusting when it comes to black people.....(so we will see if  selection works) 

I also work with an expat South African,(man of  colour)who was in the front line fighting apartheid,

So work can be interesting......lol

All I can say is one of my ex-boyfriend's was a cop. Homicide detective. We were together 2 years. Got to know all the cops on that force- parties, get togethers, his partner, etc.

NEVER AGAIN!

That's a scary situation in Atlanta! I used to live in Marietta a suburb and right now I'd be staying out of ATL. As far as police being bullies? I work in the domestic violence field and I know they are not any different from the rest of the population in the fact that they abuse their wives and girlfriends.

Looks like that no cop thing is working out well for Atlanta. Indiscriminate gunfire and mayhem all around. And Blu Flu is spreading to other cities.
