Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms's first proposals for curbing racist police violence have already been failing for years. zakcheneyrice writes
A Wendy’s in Atlanta was set on fire after police killed Rayshard Brooks in its parking lot. Photo: Ben Hendren/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images The killing of Rayshard Brooks on Friday prompted a rare admission from Atlanta’s mayor: the typical measures offered to curtail police violence — retraining officers and reforming departments — are failed experiments. She then announced the city’s plan to implement several of those same measures as a solution.
Protesters were already primed to respond — they’d spent weeks decrying the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, whose death sparked nationwide protests and riots. In Atlanta, the early days of unrest were punctuated by the incineration of a police car and vandalism of the CNN Center.
These remarks aligned her, at least in principle, with proponents of police abolition; their analysis offers that policing can’t be reformed or retrained into gentility because its function is violence — specifically, violence toward preserving a kind of order to which black and poor people are considered fundamentally disruptive.
So it was that Monday brought Bottoms’ anticipated response to a string of problems that, by her own admission, included the failure of Rolfe’s de-escalation training and, by broader inference, the failure of reforms prompting officers to intervene when they see fellow police abusing the badge.
