I had an old Army buddy call me today - my Company Commander when I was a 2LT - he is visiting on a business trip and was staying near airport. Wanted to meet for dinner. I love you Battle Buddy but not tonight - no way I am driving across Atlanta tonight and meeting near the airport. METT-T, restrictive ROE, no armored vehicles or PSD available.
I agree with the protestors.
White folks should just stay away from these areas.
Let’s see how that plays out long term.
The interesting thing is that we can’t seem to “win” anymore. If we send only black cops, EMTs, teachers, doctors, nurses etc to these areas (ignoring the current social unrest) then we are creating segregation and being racist, etc. despite the fact that many studies show that being “served” by people of your own race actually yields the best results. Patients of all races reportedly recover faster when their medical professionals are of the same race. Students learn better when their teacher is of their own race (again, regardless of race). Watching all of these protest videos the black folks seem to do much better with black cops (although even some black cops have gotten shit, I’m aware).
Does the above offend? If you have paid to be here, you can click here to put it in context.
Armed folks are apparently setting up on University Avenue.

“Conspiracy theories are just spoiler alerts these days.”
Yeah.
I got turned around one night coming back from a business trip when I lived in Midtown. I picked up my car from the parking garage at ATL, and somehow I got onto the Langford Parkway heading West through East Point to 285. I don't think I would like to do that at the moment.
Interesting times in Hotlanta.
I wonder why. Everyone was screaming "community policing" and "police & public partnership" until it was time for the community/public to do something besides bitch about how the police did their jobs. You got what you wanted. Enjoy it.Channel 2′s Michael Seiden has learned several of the protesters in the group live in the neighborhood and believe police have abandoned them.
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
