So where is Cedric?

And So It Begins

2 NYPD officrs were assasinated. So when does Cedric leave for New York to calm our brothers in blue?

Where's My Report?

Thousands, if not tens of thousands of reports are missing in our wonder new RMS.

Who are the clowns behind this?

Fulton County recently discovered they were being hosed by their IT vendors to the tune 14.6 millions dollars.

The difference between DeKalb and Fulton? Fulton County called for an audit. DeKalb won't. Fulton Commissioners are angered and appalled. DeKalb Commissioners would be angered and appalled if there is an audit, with our commissioners track record of corruption and all.

Two Officers, Suspect Shot

A manhunt for suspects is underway in DeKalb County after two police officers were shot Friday morning at an apartment complex near Glenwood Road and Austin Drive.

An additional suspect was shot during the incident near the Colony Ridge Apartments.
The officers have been taken to Atlanta Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.

Several blocks of Glenwood Road just west of I-285 were shut down by police. The intersection of Glenwood and Austin Drive was also blocked.

Change Over In Training

Captain Sonya Porter is waiting in the wings to take over as commander of the training academy at the first of the year.

Really? That's all we have?

How Do You Educate the Ignorant?

The NFL is increasingly becoming irrelevant:

• The St. Louis Police Officers Association was not happy that members of the St. Louis Rams came out for Sunday's game in a hands up "don't shoot" gesture, in reference to the unrest in nearby Ferguson, and they want those players disciplined.
  
  Tavon Austin, Stedman Bailey, Kenny Britt, Chris Givens and Jared Cook did the gesture coming out to the field before the Rams' game on Sunday against the Oakland Raiders. Ferguson, which is 12 miles from the Edward Jones Dome, was the site of an incident this past summer when police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed teenager Michael Brown. There have been many protests in Ferguson and elsewhere this week after a grand jury declined to indict Wilson.
  
  The Rams players made their statement on the field, and then the SLPOA had one of their own that included calling for punishment for the players and a full apology.

The NFL, in typically wishy-washy fashion, declines to make an example of these ignoramuses:

• There doesn't seem to be a precedent for a player being fined for a gesture or statement like this. The closest comparison might be when the Dolphins fined and suspended safety Don Jones for tweeting negative comments about Michael Sam, the first openly gay player drafted in the NFL, but that was a violation of the league's anti-discrimination policies. That doesn't apply to what the Rams did.

Really? We seem to recall a number of fines against players for swearing at officials, excessive celebrations, end zone antics for dancing and autographing footballs. How about Jim McMahon for his headbands during the Superbowl? The NFL can choose to dissuade behavior unbecoming by means of massive fines. In case the NFL hadn't noticed, America is getting sick of Ferguson, disgusted with misbehavior in general and really unhappy with overpaid celebrities dictating how they're supposed to feel about an event. Get ahead of the curve.

Holder Lets Cedric Hold It

 

Eric Holder came to town to continue whipping up the frenzying against the police. 

 

Somehow he has turned the Ferguson incident to an outcry against “profiling”. There was no allegation of profiling in Ferguson. Michael Brown was seen on video robbing (a forcible felony by the way) a store clerk. He was not “profiled”. 

Holder promises “robust safeguards to help end racial profiling once and for all”. Them some scary words. We envision the outlawing, yes we said outlawing of “stop and frisk” and heavily monitoring of “stop and question”.   

Because President Barack Hussein Obama II, Eric Holder and the stellar Al Sharpton (Tawana Brawley, Crown Heights Riot)were proven wrong with the outcome of the Ferguson Grand Jury, they are taking this opportunity to widen the divide. 

Our so called leaders are taking us into some dangerous destructive waters.  

And where was Cedric “The Entertainer”? Ass sucking Holder at Ebenezer Church.

No True Bill

In what is probably the most dissected police shooting in history, a Grand Jury did not bow to the obvious machinations of the Holder Justice Department, the traveling grievance-mongers and the naked threats of violence and delivered a just finding after months-long hearings, hundreds of witnesses and three autopsy reports:

• A grand jury in St. Louis County on Monday declined to indict the Ferguson police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black teenager in August in a case that touched off nationwide protests and cries of police brutality.
  
  St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch announced the decision not to indict Darren Wilson Monday evening. A grand jury of nine whites and three blacks had been meeting weekly since Aug. 20 to consider evidence in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, 18. The panel met for 70 hours and heard from 60 witnesses.
  
  McCulloch stressed that the grand jurors were "the only people who heard every witness ... and every piece of evidence." He said many witness presented conflicting statements that ultimately were inconsistent with the physical evidence.
  
  "These grand jurors poured their hearts and soul into this process," he said.

An amusing side note - Obama gave a statement saying, "We are a nation built on laws." The irony of this statement in light of his constant disregard of the law, his "executive orders" usurping Constitutional roles and his administrations constant felonious behavior is completely lost upon the media sheeple.

The Night Cedric Gets Dissappointed

Will Chief Cedric be dsiappointed if no riots break out in DeKalb, or will he claim his spiritual presence kept the calm?

Deconstructing DeKalb

Chamblee: The city won a legal dispute with Brookhaven over the annexation of Century Center commercial development.

Clarkston: Voters this month approved an annexation that could add thousands to that city’s population.

Decatur: With student growth projected to overwhelm the city’s school capacity, it plans to annex 1.6 square miles of mostly commercial property

Doraville: On Dec. 31, it will annex 500 acres of an industrial area along the west side of I-85 between Gwinnett County and Chamblee-Tucker Road.

Druid Hills: The neighborhood movement for annexation to Atlanta has gained backing from parents after the DeKalb County School District rejected a charter school “cluster” of Druid Hills High and other schools.

Stone Mountain: The city has studied annexation of surrounding neighborhoods and industrial parks.

City of Brookhaven Take Lessons From the Mob

The City of Brookhaven take lessons from the Mob when it comes to doing business with strip clubs and other businesses.

After a long running legal battle for the Pink Pony to stay open, they have submitted to be shaken down by the city.

The Pink Pony will pay the city $225,000 per year for six years to stay open. This is in addition to property and sales tax.

So, if you want to run a business in Brookhaven, you probably are going to have to pay the man.
