I don't read it that way. Here is an article after the AUC students incident. She feels like her officers are being unfairly treated and said fuck it
Atlanta police chief says she disagrees with charges against officers
In an email to her staff, Chief Erika Shields describes the charges as political jockeying by Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howardwww.ajc.com
Police Chief Erika Shields told Atlanta police officers Monday that her firing of two cops involved in an excessive force arrest during Saturday night’s protests was justified, but said criminal charges filed against them by Fulton District Attorney Paul Howard was “a tsunami of political jockeying during an election year.”
I would have felt bad for Shields being a WHITE Lesbian as a Police Chief who realized that she's in an internal battle with Good Ole Boy Culture.
But when I read that AJC article early this morning,
I had to say, "FUCK HER!" for trying to play BOTH sides.
Mayor Bottoms and Howard are pretty much of the same mindset.
I know a few Peeps in Atlanta who feel those two are no different.
Maybe other Cats from Atlanta here can speak on it.
