JTN:
The Atlanta police union and lawmakers are calling for a special prosecutor to be named in the Rayshard Brooks case.
The International Brotherhood of Police Officers was joined at a press conference Sunday by GOP Rep. Doug Collins and state representatives including Georgia Senate Majority Leader Mike Dugan.
The community leaders were there to voice support for the Atlanta Police Department, but also used the moment to call for Attorney General Chris Carr to appoint an independent prosecutor to oversee the case.
“It is time for the district attorney of Fulton County to step aside. You don’t do it for politics. Your job is to find justice for everyone,” Collins said.
The Georgia attorney general cannot appoint a special prosecutor on his own. The district attorney first must recuse himself, or a judge must disqualify him, before a different prosecutor can be appointed. READ MORE

I’m the first to shout “police brutality” when I see it, but this was a good shoot.
They need a special prosecutor to prosecute that DA.
ummmmmmmmm… i agree that it was a gud shoot… but “rayshard” ffs… really? i almost rayshart my drawers the other day.
Heard they fired the police man Mom! Equity prime mortgage in Atlanta. They block you from website with some diversity bs. I called and left message.
Let’s play: Who wants to be a
millionairepolice officer? !Geez, with a ghetto moniker like Rayshart you’d think he’d be sitting in the front row of every one of his classes at Harvard.
Would the Special Prosecutor have the latitude to criminally charge the Mayor for sentencing the officer (firing him and slandering him) before he was lawfully charged with a crime?
