Atlanta Area Cops Arrested in Embarrassing Corruption Scandal

March 12, 2013

When a police officer needs more money and his gig with the Department isn’t pulling in enough income, they will regularly seek out security details or part time employment where their police training is seen as an asset.

After receiving a ticket, many of us would like to curse at an officer. But, most of us hold our tongue for fear of “rocking the boat.” One Georgia man didn’t hold his tongue when his daughter was cited for improper use of a seat belt, and he was arrested for it.

Atlanta Police Oversight Board Faces Resistance

June 18, 2012

The Atlanta Citizen Review Board (ACRB) was created after officers with the Atlanta Police Department shot and killed a 92-year old woman and planted drugs in her home to cover the botched raid.
