Atlanta police officers are still reportedly calling in sick to work in protest of charges against the cop who fatally shot Rayshard Brooks, as it's announced every officer will receive a $500 bonus for working amid civil unrest. On Thursday the Atlanta Police Department saw cops continue to call out of work, in protest of 11 charges, including felony murder, announced Wednesday against fired officer Garrett Rolfe.(Snip) The call outs come after 'scores' of officers failed to turn up for work for Wednesday's evening shift and people monitoring the police scanner reported near radio silence. For Thursday’s shift 'most' officers called out sick,
Obviously $500 is not enough to setyourself up for target practice for the mob.

I seriously doubt every word of this UK article, especially that a city could pay every officer a $500 bonus for coming to work to get shot at. Now we know a trained officer is worth about $500 to Atlanta--at least. Here is your badge, your weapon and a bull's-eye for your shirt.

Are you going to give $500 to Garrett Rolfe in additions to the millions he will get from his civil suit against you and the city?
Hey Keisha Fat Bottom, you are going to find out that you do not have immunity since you violated the terms of the union contract by maliciously firing him before an investigation!

Seems like a good place to raise a family, they're only 600 calls behind on 911. They did manage to respond to a 6 year old shot to death. If you go near there drive around.

$500.00 won't even cover their funeral cost.

Do cops even trust the Atlanta government to pay them the $500? Probably not.

Sorry. $500 doesn't cover much in the way of legal fees to defend oneself against fictitious criminal charges.

The city isn't paying the bonus, an independent foundation is.

i think cops should have blue-outs in all the major cities - not just in Atlanta but in every major city and not just a few all of them - lets see how that works out for the blacks in the inner city. We can really see if BLM??

I'm game for letting it burn down into a cesspool until the DA resigns.

I guess they have been underpaying them all this time.

How can they afford to defund the police if they pay them overtime plus $500?
I believe our good officers should offer to limit their service to 40 hours a week at this time so as to permit the cities to phase-in their plans to abolish the police departments. No overtime, use all that vacation and sick time.

Have the DA put a uniform on and send him out to do the cops job.
There was a time when fighting assaulting or hitting an officer was a felony. Guess now it’s a reason to get a trophy.

Guess the mayor views her police force as hookers. A $500 tip for services rendered from Atlanta's biggest madam. The Police should refuse it and donate the amount to the officer who has been unjustly fired and charged for crimes he did not commit. Look up the dirt bag who was justifiably shot. His prison sentence that he was on probation for when he passed out in the take out lane at Wendy's was for false imprisonment, simple assault family, simple assault, and most heinous of all Cruelty to Children. As a bonus he had already violated his probation once and was headed back to the joint for the DUI. Let's see before he died our latest Saint to be added to the Church of the Systemic Racism Victims committed DUI, resisting arrest, assault and battery on Police officers, fleeing arrest and assault with a deadly weapon (Taser). Did I miss any crimes committed?

Five hundred dollars is cheap. They must not pay their police very much.

Remember the Daily Mail is a big time very liberal anti-Trump UK newspaper, so whatever you read in it must be taken with a grain of salt. If Atlanta is going to pay cops bonuses of $500 for each shift worked civil unrest, look for them to send that bill to the liberal Democrats in Congress so the cost would be spread across the country.

$50K wouldn't cover what could happen to them.
So stuff it!

I truly wish they had the cajones to all call in sick one day.
Every single one of them.
Give the average citizen a taste of getting rid of the police. One day should be plenty to make that point.
I do feel bad for all the innocent people that would be hurt that day. But there are already tons of innocent people being hurt by these racist thug Antifa types day after day.

I'm guessing that these officers are using their sick time to go over their union contracts with a fine tooth comb.
How soon can I retire? Or find a job in a better place?

Wow! Bonus money, $500, in order to run the risk of being fired, arrested, and charged with murder for doing your job according to your training. I’ll bet they stream to work now.

Let Atlanta deal with a 20% shortage for a while, take "Defund the Police" for a bit of a test drive.

Why should the cops show up for work when the mayor doesn't support them and in fact overrules law and order. I wouldn't show up either.

Heckva job, Mayor Keisha. Police offers don't want to patrol with targets painted on their backs and knowing that the city won't help them in any way? Who could imagine.
