Long story short: people protested in front of Smyrna city hall over the decision to promote a police officer, who had shot and killed a man who attempted to evade a warrant arrest by stealing a Maserati and driving at police.
Seriously, why are protesters so stupid? They’re clamoring for “justice” for a guy that stole a car and tried to run over some cops. In the cops’ case it was kill, or be killed.
The funny thing is that the people protesting all seem to have this idea that the cop was promoted solely as a reward for killing a black guy; it’s like they have no understanding of promotion schedules, tenure, and a record of commendations that could lead to a promotion. Not really a “hey, good job shooting that colored fella, have a promotion!”
