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!”
But anyway, these protesters were on a mission:
“We here to shut Smyrna down. We going to boycott Cumberland Mall. We are going to make sure black people don’t spend no money in Smyrna or Marietta”
In unrelated news, popular opinion on Smyrna and Marietta have grown considerably. Cumberland Mall now predicted to be the premiere mall in the Metro Atlanta area.
Yeah, I’d really love to see every single black person try to not support Smyrna and Marietta. I hope they enjoy driving to Kennesaw, East Point or Dunwoody to righteously spend their money alternatively.
“It’s horrible! It’s disrespectful. The fact that an officer is getting a promotion shows no type of respect for my family,”
You know, at some point, even family members have to be able to take the rose-colored glasses off and assess that maybe your brother had it coming, when he hops into a stolen car and attempts to ram armed police officers. Otherwise, saying shit like this makes you look sociopathic and stupid.
Anyway, everything about this whole story is pure stupid. I can’t really put in to words just how stupid it all is, because my mind is fuzzy and I’m just getting over a nasty bought of food poisoning, so we’ll just leave it as is.
