The Atlanta police officers, both of them, are unsung heroes deserving of a medal. For 40 minutes these heroic officers calmly dealt with a drunken driver with a criminal record that had an outstanding warrant against him and sweetly got all of his information, determined what occurred and were diplomats.
When it became necessary to arrest him for drunken driving, as is required under the law and police policy to keep the roads safe in addition to the outstanding warrant against him, they calmly told him he drank too much and they’ll need to handcuff him now. The criminal then suddenly became violent, physically attacked the officers, grabbed one of their deadly weapon and fired it at them. When he ran away and fired the deadly weapon aimed at the officer a second time, the office correctly defended his life and shot him in self-defense, removing another criminal from society where he would continue to harm innocents, as he had in the past — including children.
The Atalanta DA and Mayor are thugs who blatantly and outright lied about what occurred and can easily be seen on multiple videos. The DA put an innocent police officer, who faithfully served his community and society with distinction, in prison under false pretenses in order to satisfy the street mob.
