Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced the creation of a new working group to provide recommendations for reducing crime amid a spike in homicides and gun violence in the city.
The members of the group, who have not been announced, will provide feedback in the next 30 to 45 days.
The announcement followed a string of weekend shootings that left a 15-year-old girl and 22-year-old man dead and several others injured. Six months out from an election, Bottoms is facing criticism over her handling of public safety issues as the number of killings in the city continues to rise.
Atlanta police have investigated 44 homicides this year, a 60% increase from this time in 2020.
“You can say what you want to say about what you believe to be my deficits. People are entitled to their opinion. But don’t ever question whether or not I care,” Bottoms said.
The Media forgot to identifies the color of the victims and forgot to dance about racial problems. Just a thought.
