Went to Morgan State Penitentiary back in 2003. I'm still in the area cause it's closer to NYC for my art. But lately I've been wanting to move back to NO and settle down. Kinda don't know what to do to be honest. I'd move to Hell if it would help me with my art career.So when are you gonna move back?

Exactly what I was pointing at. Hogan really fukked over Black Baltimore. I heard from 3rd hand knowledge when he did that in favor of M&T and Orioles Park it literally help create a food desert in the Westside.

To the guys in the pit, Wallace was on the Shore. Wallace corrected Poot and told him his grandmother's place was Bayside. I didn't understand the difference or the references, other than having an idea of where Eastern Shore was.
Hogan took that Redline money, gave some of it to the DC area for the purple line, and made the Baltimore area pay for it for the rest of it. Then gave the rest of the funds to every other county in Maryland. Baltimore saw a grand total of $0.00.
What's your thoughts on what's going on with cop city? I think I told you my folks in Atlanta are very prominent. They're one of the Cascade Heights business families that helped turn Atlanta into the Mecca that it is today.
Two of my cousins are in the below photo with AY, one of whom was Chairman of Fort McPherson and was the one that facilitated it's sale to become TP Studios. They're obviously in support of cop city so I must be missing something considering all the backlash?

That tweet is simplifying a very real public safety problem in metro ATL. Almost TLR level juelzing, to be honest. "Bu bu but respectability politics"
Everybody wants police accountability, and corruption, abuses, and brutality has to be rooted at whenever and whereever possible. BUT the crime and public safety realities means that Cop City is a done deal.
Polarizing the issue as though either you side with "Black residents" or "Police" is internet talk. People who work and live in that city are confronted with constant threat of gunfire, assault, robbery, and property theft.
Thinking that crime rate will decline without massive investment towards law enforcement is delusional. All the alternative/crime prevention/services programs can only be implemented once the hardcore element is removed from the community.

Space is the Place
I haven't lived in Atlanta for a while and even when I grew up I lived in South DeKalb (most middle class Black folks in ATL have long lived in the suburbs so that is another post). Crime in Atlanta went nuts in 2020-2022 but actually has dropped substantially this year. Knock on wood, YTD homicides in Atlanta are back to the 2019 level. 2018 was near our historic low so that's great news.
Atlanta always had a crime problem and was the murder capital of the US for much of my youth in the 90s.
While the resident/police divide exists in Atlanta, unlike most cities the political and economic elites have been pretty Black for decades and so has the police force and its leadership. You (usually) don't have questionable White folks orchestrating stuff behind the scenes like Chicago, NYC, or LA or see the force dominated by ethnic Whites or Hispanics. APD also has one of the best homicide clearance rates in the country ranging from 70-80% where nationally it is usually 50-60%. Granted, sometimes Black cops can be more vicious or aggressive (James Baldwin wrote about this with respect to Atlanta in this post I shared before) but the relations between the APD and citizens are much better than most places I have lived.
As far as Cop City, there are a few things going on that people may not get. Overall, I support the new facility because modern and updated training can help the APD become a good force. There are some things I think that are seriously concerning though about the facility and about how the dissent has been handled.
First, the protestors are a motley crew--a lot of people are from out of town and a lot are protesting environmental stuff, namely the destruction of the forest at the planned site--and a lot of the people arrested are not only not local, they aren't Black. So separating those with a real knowledge and grievance versus 'me too' protestors is hard. This has not been a local constituent type driven protest plugged in with local leaders and politicians--notice nobody in the Atlanta or local leadership seems scared of being voted out by supporting Cop City--so unless the protestors convince and galvanize the local community on the issue, I don't see why their voice needs to dominate.
Also, Atlanta leaders are trying to play to the mostly White and rich northern areas of Atlanta like Buckhead that threatened to set up their own police force or secede back in 2020-21. This and the middle class Black residents in places like South Atlanta (Cascade etc.) support Cop City it seems.
That being said, some of the stuff that has happened around Cop City raises eyebrows. I don't mind training police and firefighters but the new facility includes a bunch of stuff with like protestor control, militarized equipment usage, and reportedly other military style/urban warfare training. Instead of reform, they will learn to suppress protests deal with 'disorders' etc? We have to be real careful with stuff like that. Even the White libertarians at places like the Cato Institute have long been alarmed about how militarized police have become. I remember them talking about it when I was in college around 2000 and it has only gotten worse.
Also 75% of the cost ($60M) came from the Atlanta Police Foundation. A not so open private group who no one knows how they got so much money. It was them donating $60M of the $80M cost that is getting this built. I am thinking they are a pass through, but for whom? Somebody with Atlanta's best interests or someone who wants to guide the future of local (and national) law enforcement? These things need to be cleared up.
The hard fisted response to the protestors has actually generated a lot of the the city leaders' problems. Charging five protestors with domestic terrorism seems more a political stunt and warning to others not to protest than establishing order. Also a lot of protestors were denied bail for spurious reasons. A lot of the momentum the protests, that started small, have gotten have been from the extreme response and motives of Cop City.

If cops actually got punished harshly fir abuse of power, I don't think the public would hate police. It's the fact that they get away with murder literally and nothing is done to right the wrongs. That's the issue
