Atlanta officers shoot black woman in patrol car in gunfight: police | Reuters

(Reuters) - Atlanta police shot and killed a handcuffed black woman on Thursday after she fired on two officers from inside a patrol car, the city's police department said.

The woman had been arrested and was in the back of the vehicle in downtown Atlanta around 5 p.m. local time, Atlanta Police Sergeant Gregory Lyon said in an email.

She then fired on the officers, who were also black, sitting in the front of the car, Lyon said. The officers returned fire. The woman was taken to a local hospital where she later died, he said.

The shooting comes as protests reignite in cities around the United States over police use of lethal force against minorities, especially of unarmed black men.

The woman's name was not being made public pending notification of next of kin, police said.

Goodbye Atlanta. Glad I got to visit the World of Coca-Cola before it gets burned down.

Apparently the male officers didn't do a thorough pat down of her before putting her in the back of the squad car. I understand why, but that policy could've cost them their lives.

Reuters must like rioting, honestly. Once again they write a headline that implies "white cop murders innocent black person for no reason," when what really happened is "black cop kills black person in the line of duty after being fired on by the deceased." Absolutely no need to mention race.

Proof positive of how the media can easily engineer a certain racial climate.

To be fair, Reuters click-baited their headlines long before BGIF did. He can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the use of click-bait headlines by the media is exactly BGIF's point in starting this thread in the first place. I think it's effectively made.

Jump to conclusions much?

Look in the O.P. at the Article Headline and the thread title. One appears atop the other. I merely rearranged some words to fit in the new thread text box.

I started the thread because Black Lives Matter, don't they? Or do they only matter when taken by white cops?

This shooting appears to have taken place late yesterday afternoon, 4-5 pm. Yet the majors, ABC, Reuters, etc didn't have a story until 10 pm to midnight and then they all seem to run the same wire service graphs. Were they all waiting for curfew?

This is in CNN's hometown but they had nothing.


A curious dearth of reporting about an unusual situation, shootout in cop car by handcuffed suspect across the street from their precinct. Somebody didn't frisk or did a piss poor job. If she managed to conceal the gun in a cavity, how did she extricate it, aim it, and fire?

THEN there's the coast to coast marches. Doesn't this life matter also?

And once again we see evidence that a cop's job is No more dangerous than a roofing inspector's.

All fair points. I just don't think we need a thread for every police event... maybe just post this in the Police State thread?

The O.P. of the Police State thread notes police "shenanigans", "harass," "brutalize", and "assault by cop". That thread has evolved into tax codes, family values, failed social engineering, and political posturing.

This incident is none of the above.

Two cops investigating a stolen car took a person in custody and were subsequently fired upon. The National media buried the story, just another day in the inner city. Despite the national demonstrations, these black lives doesn't seem to matter.

Sorry to waste your time and clutter your day.

No, this is very important. People like to pile on when the media dictates their thoughts, and it is critical that we put these things into perspective. Isolated incidents should not represent the whole, but unfortunately, that is the world in which we live. All of the incidents are horrible, but framing has really done a number on hurting the collective state of living in unison these days. Thank you for sharing this, and if people don't like it, so be it. The important thing is that the information is out there to be criticized. That is how we build dialogue!

Seems to matter to most everyone accept people who profit from white on black...

 

[GDomer09]

Just checked USAToday, CNN, Yahoo & Google. (6) stories each updating the situation in Baltimore and (0) stories on this incident you posted.

 

[IrishinSyria]

I get that you're trying to make a point, but I'm not really sure what it is. There's a pretty big difference between the outrage over police killing unarmed suspects and police killing armed suspects.

What are you getting at? The cops were being shot at and they returned fire. Should we make a thread every time a cop shoots a violent criminal?

We did when a cop shot Michael Brown, a violent criminal who tried to take the cop's gun away and shoot him. Only difference is that the cop who did the shooting was white. That causes riots and is front page news. A black cop making what appears to be a clearly righteous shooting of a violent criminal elicits nothing but silence from the MSM and black community.

What a lot of us are really pissed off about and disgusted by is the hypocrisy of the press and the so called "community leaders" in how they report and frame this entire issue. They aren't reporting the news factually, fairly, or in an unbiased way. They're driving the story, selectively reporting, pushing an agenda, and fanning the flames when it suits their purpose.

There is a fundamental difference between shooting a fleeing, unarmed suspect and returning fire to a suspect who has a gun and is shooting at you.

If these were white cops this would be news. Big news. Conspiracy all over the place about planting the gun. If you disagree you belong on another planet.

It's sad because you say this tongue in cheek and this very day there was a collapse at a job site I was just at yesterday. You can Google it, it's all over the news... very prominent building. By sheer dumb luck I'm running a race today and out of town.

I don't know how many casualties there are but I know there were people unaccounted for and others seriously injured and in the hospital. Unlike these cops, who are fine. So the joke is on you and your utter ignorance in the face of facts. Stats show the fatality rate is much greater in other professions. And I'd love for one of you "truthers" to go talk to one of the families from today and tell them how safe their job is.

Disagree. Killed By Police - 2015

That's a list of people killed by police in 2015. There's been about a half-dozen stories that became national news. You seem to be implying the only logical reason the rest haven't been on the news is that it was a black cop who shot the person. I think the much more likely explanation is that when a killing is justified (person had a weapon) then the reaction is fairly muted.

 

[Bishop2b5]

There is a fundamental difference between shooting a fleeing, unarmed suspect and returning fire to a suspect who has a gun and is shooting at you.

Fleeing as in having punched you while trying to wrest your gun away, firing it while wrestling for control of it with you, and then charging towards you? You mean that sort of fleeing... towards you with demonstrable intent to kill you? Only two differences were that the woman in Atlanta brought her own gun and the cops that shot her were black.

Aside from all those pesky little facts, the issue is how the press totally distorts and drives the narrative by gross misrepresentations and selectivity in what they report instead of just reporting the news in a factual, unbiased, non-agenda driven manner.

When I was young, the newspaper in the larger city in our county used to employ that same distorted, biased, cheap sort of reporting when it came to HS football. When my HS beat theirs, the headline (below the fold of course) would be "Other Town HS squeaks by Our Town HS 33-14." When their team won though, it was top of the page in big letters, "Our Town HS demolishes Other Town HS 21-20."

Every time we have an incident where a white cop shoots a black person during an arrest or during the commission of a crime, we get "White cop murders innocent black." When it's a black criminal raping or murdering a white person, it's "Three men accused of sexual assault during spring break in PCB" or "Man suspected in hold-up shooting." Those headlines are not much of an exaggeration in how biased the media is in how they report stuff. I don't care if they report or don't report the race of the accused or the victims... just be consistent about it and stop manipulating the public in order to drive an agenda. It's causing real people to get hurt, real towns to get destroyed, and setting race relations back decades, all in the name of selling newspapers, drawing in viewers, smearing one side, and manipulating the other.

That sort of biased, selective, misleading, hypocritical, self-serving, and dishonest reporting on any issue is total bs. It's what's going on with all the police shootings. Nobody wants to see the cops do wrong or mistreat anyone, regardless of the race of the cops or the victims. If a cop is guilty of wrong-doing, I want to see him punished and that crap to stop. If the victim of a cop shooting was engaged in criminal behavior and attempting to hurt others in the process or while being arrested, he brought it on himself.

What I and others want is to be able to trust our press to report all this stuff fairly, accurately, in an unbiased manner, and serve the public's interest without being dishonest, manipulative bags of shit serving no one but themselves.

Considering we are discussing black people who are killed by cops most of that chart doesn't matter to the topic. However, I am not agreeing with the post you quoted. Just pointing it out.

Are you claiming that most of the chart is white people?
