Black, Democrats at All Levels of Govt in Atlanta Yet Blacks are Still Subjected to Police Violence and Routine Interference w/Their Freedom of Movement: Video Shows a Cop Kick Black Woman in the Face

From [HERE] Another police brutality incident put Atlanta back in the law enforcement spotlight, with some questioning the city’s status as a hub for Black people. Atlanta-based attorney Tiffany Williams Roberts tore into the city’s image as a place for Black people to thrive, suggesting it is a tale of two cities: The best of times and the worst of times.

“Atlanta is not a Mecca when it comes to the impact of the violent police state,” tweeted Roberts. “We are part of the problem. Period.”  
Even as all eyes were watching the streets in the wake of 2020 racial justice protests, Atlanta police officers killed Rayshard Brooks and brutalized two HBCU students on live television. Countless others were detained or arrested during protests, with questions raised about the use of force in the department’s response last summer.

Some of the previously fired officers were subsequently reinstated due to an independent board finding procedural issues in their dismissal. And even as cities like Atlanta grapple with a reported rise in crime, elected officials cannot turn a blind eye to the other issues affecting residents.  

Atlanta is governed by a Black mayor and mostly Black 15-member Atlanta City Council. Every mayor elected since 1973 has been black. Many of the department heads are Black including the acting police chief. Atlanta is split between three congressional districts, 2 of its reps are Black. All of the above are democrat.
