Armed men near the site where Rayshard Brooks attacked a police officer and was shot in self defense are no longer allowing police in the area:
Here’s more from NY Post:
Armed protesters near the Atlanta site where Rayshard Brooks was fatally shot during his arrest earlier this month say police are no longer allowed in the area — which residents say is getting increasingly dangerous, according to new reports.
One man, joined by two others Tuesday night near the Wendy’s restaurant in Atlanta where the June 12 shooting occurred, told FOX News that he was carrying a 12-gauge shotgun.
“It’s for me and the rest of our peaceful people, to protect us and also me, because as you guys know, there is no police presence here,” said the man. “There’s no one else to protect us, so me and my fellow brothers are here to protect each other.”
“The police aren’t allowed here because they aren’t here to protect us,” he added. “They’re not here to serve and protect anymore.”
If a patrol car does roll up to the site, according to one of the other men, “he’s going to have to leave.”
A third man said protesters will “calmly discuss and conversate” with the officers, telling them they aren’t moving and they are peaceful.
A FOX News reporter observed a roadblock with no police in sight.
The Atlanta Police Department told FOX early Wednesday that the department “is monitoring the situation and plans to coordinate with community leaders and the Wendy’s property owner to address security issues and help preserve peace for this community as soon as possible.”
The Atlanta mayor and the corrupt Fulton County DA are to blame for this. Instead of defending the officer’s actions they’ve turned him into a murderer, and now you’ve got people thinking that this was another George Floyd incident when it was nothing like it. Rayshard Brooks is the only one to blame for his death.
As far as these thugs with long guns, police need to dispatch this no-go zone before it gets out of hand. While this isn’t exactly the same as Seattle’s autonomous zone, it shares the same anti-cop hatred and you can bet people will be less safe and criminal activity will flourish as this continues.
