pretty slick!

These would be called “lynch mobs.”

It would then become readily apparent to the powers-that-be that something would have to give and a compromise would be struck.

Until this happens, it will be business as usual in Atlanta, and every other city on Earth.

Cities are states. States operate by force. States cannot tolerate a force superior to themselves, else they cease to be. Civilian review boards aspire to force greater than that of the city, therefore the city strikes back mercilessly or ceases to be.

It’s simple math, really. That’s the statist paradigm — the greater force holds sway.

Ah, the old on-going investigation line. It works almost as well as the “national security” excuse. For a law enforcement officer (and most government officials), any time spent on the clock should be on the public record, at least in an officer-involved incident. I can see exceptions (when an undercover officer is active; withholding certain details about evidence during a homicide investigation) but not many. Atlanta was moving in the right direction, but now they’ve probably decided to give in to pressure from the police union. Sucky move folks.
