It has long been theorized that most of the men who wore sheets back in the day didn't disappear they simply joined up with a new Klan.
A major police scandal in Atlanta could result in officers being prosecuted for two fatal shootings as well as theft, racial prejudice and even evidence tampering by a top official in the coroners office.
A grand jury released reports calling into question the actions of a Dekalb County Police officer who shot and killed a 19-year-old Black man in August of 2006 and another man who was fatally shot 19 times that same month.
The grand jury had no authority to return a criminal indictment but recommended further investigation.
The Special panel also found that of 29 shootings reviewed, 23 were deemed justified and that officers were found not at fault in non-shooting deaths of two suspects in custody.
The families of some of the individuals killed want the cases moved to courts outside of Dekalb County.
The bottom line is in the span of 8 months 12 people were shot in Dekalb County and
the grand jury found the majority of them justified.
Officers in Dekalb County appear to be shooting first and asking questions later. If officer are that afraid of the public especially Blacks then maybe they are in the wrong profession.
The test for jury's used to be, it maybe justifiable to use deadly force if an officer feels his life is in imminent danager. If all the shooting in Dekalb County have been legitimate then it has to be the most dangerous county in the nation.
One Love, One Nation, One World.
