Monday, August 19, 2024 - If ATL is "cop city," where's the cops? | Coming for the "pitbulls"
from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts
Personal anecdote last night I was involved in a scuffle where a guest in our condo building got belligerent and unruly. He'd had a long day of drinking and was wandering the building and making some residents anxious and nervous. Some neighbors and I tried corralling him to guide him back to whatever unit he was staying in, and the guy got physical. My 8:45pm call to 911 likely caught it all on audio recording before Atlanta PD end the call. No one from the department arrived until 12:15am. Atlanta doesn't need "Cop City" as much as Atlanta needs more COPS in the city. What my neighbors and I dealt with last night wasn't deadly - but what if it could have become deadly? I went to bed having given up on my city's police department to show up two hours after waiting and one hour before they arrived. Atlantans deserve better. Okay, enough about that; Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's roaming the state testing counties' voting machines and tabulation processes. Then, get this: former Fulton County Elections supervisor Cathy Woodard - frequent pundit on local TV's "The Georgia Gang" - recorded her appearance for that show Friday morning, then filed an ethics complaint against the "MAGA-3" not he Georgia Elections Board. Legislative Democrats followed with their own call for action over the weekend, as well. Woolard's action is particularly delicious in that Governor Brian Kemp is mandated to do something - and that something will anger Donald Trump. Competing economic messages have been unleashed by the two major Presidential candidates; one a rambling off-prompter tirade of incoherence by a buffoon in front of tables of grocery items, the other a pointed list of actions the American people need relief on: grocery prices, more and attainable housing and tax breaks for families raising kids. Seems an easy choice to make.
