Protest Going on in Atlanta: Now Near Lennox Mall

[Ducktales]

If anybody burned down a historically black building I would immediately assume based off these videos we are seeing that it was some white boys. And of course that would be wrong for them to do. There are things that obviously should not be touched. But i don’t give a fukk about CNN or any large corporations. These motherfukkers got hella money and will be ok.

The protesters are seeing red — but cops are seeing green.

NYPD officers have collected “several million dollars” in overtime because of the flood of activists clogging city streets to demonstrate against pro-cop grand-jury decisions in New York and Ferguson, Mo., law-enforcement officials told The Post.

“It’s a good time of year to get it,” one law-enforcement source said.

“If [the protesters] want to pay me so I can make sure all my Christmas bills are paid, that’s fine with me,” said another.

Officers on time-and-a-half pay from commands across the city were pulled into Manhattan to follow around the agitators — who Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said are “wandering aimlessly” and just looking for “a night out.”

But while some cops are clocking more than 16 hour days — starting at 7 a.m. and not getting off until almost midnight — most aren’t complaining because of the hefty holiday paychecks.

“A lot of cops are going to make a lot of money this holiday season,” one veteran police official said. “There’s no question about that.”

Some have already worked three overtime shifts equaling 36 hours of extra pay. That adds up to an “overtime bonus” of $1,000 or more.

Protests following the fatal police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott cost city taxpayers $4.6 million, mostly in police overtime, the city of Charlotte said Friday.

Included in that total cost was $122,000 in property damage to city-owned buildings like the NASCAR Hall of Fame and the Convention Center, as well as police equipment and vehicles. The Charlotte Area Transit System had $26,000 in property damage.

That total doesn’t include private property damage. Several uptown buildings had windows smashed and some stores were looted, mostly in around the EpiCentre entertainment complex on Trade Street.


Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police spent most of the money – at $3.9 million. Almost all of that was for overtime. CMPD also had $60,000 in property damage, which included the destruction of police cars.


The Fire Department spent $350,000 on overtime and other operating expenses.


The city said it doesn’t anticipate any of the expenses will be reimbursed by the state or federal government. The city said it will use reserves to cover the costs.

The $4.6 million covers a three-week period from Sept. 20 through Oct. 7.

Take yo ass in the house and stop giving these cops a free stimulus package

 

[KneeGrow.]

Either of those would’ve been better tbh

I don't think they'd be better equipped at connecting to the emotionality in groups of young, angry, black folks than rappers and entrepreneurs of the city.

 

[YouMadd?]

At first I didn't think



Those dudes aren't politically engaged

You mean to tell me Gunna, the guy that inhaled nitrous oxide on Instagram live isn’t politically engaged? Im shocked.

 

[keond]

finding out you better check your coverage esp a small business. Most don't have policies that cover rioting and shyt apparently.

The Targets and Walmarts of the world have that coverage. If the joints that got fukked up at CNN center don't, they shyt outta luck.

All them businesses are chains by the CNN Center. No mom and pops in that area. I just hope they dont fukk with the Aquarium. My kids love that place

 

[Illuminatos]

These celebs really need go back to the mansions and be silent.

I thought TI was bout that action?

Restaurants are some of the main ones apparently without that coverage. I know if I got a business in the area, I'm hitting up the mufukkin general for a new policy with coverage for that shyt ASAP (word to TIP )

 

[YouMadd?]

Don't listen to the bullshyt T.I. or Killer Mike talking. The mayor texted or called them nikkas to say what they said. They part of the elite in Atlanta and gonna do as she ask. Favor for a favor.

That’s all I got out of this one too. CNN called politicians who called TI and now ATL is “Wakanda”

 

[FromStLouis]

So he woke up wanting to see the world burn, just not Atlanta. Very interesting.

 

[Ziggiy]

Who should she have up there? Some old school civil rights activist or a finance executive nobody knows?

Nah she should ABSOLUTELY have Killer “Candace Owens is a warrior”’ Mike and Clifford “This is Wakanda!” Harris up there speaking.


Hell while we’re at it WHERE’S JA

 

[keond]

Exactly. He ain't tryna protect Atlanta. That nikka tryna protect Keisha Bottoms. Same as Killer Mike. T.i. the same nikka who be on IG talking bout killing and rebelling and fighting back.

Everybody loves Keisha it aint nothing personal. The folks out there could give two shyts about Keisha, Tip or Mike. I do like how she did try to include some hometown legendary people on her commission, but they should have not been trotted out in a time like this. The kids out there is doing this for all totally different reasons, none of which involve rappers.

 

[DetroitEWarren]

CNN ignored the police burning and destroying the buildings and said it was the protestors. Ignoring the people has consequences as they did in Ferguson and Bmore...fukk em.

I have no reason to ride for CNN, I don't even watch the news, but the few news people who I have seen today ain't been on that shyt AT ALL, I don't know how rare this is, but I know I'm usually hearing a bunch of bullshyt from the people on CNN, they are not doing that right now.

They are on some "they have a legit reason to be mad and express their anger".

Maybe cause it's so many whites getting caught on camera out there front and center they giving everyone a pass. I don't know, but I ain't got that vibe at all on CNN today
