Vince Champion, southeast regional director of the International Brotherhood of Police officers, was on ABC News tonight to discuss the charges against the Atlanta police officers.

Champion told ABC New, “What we do know is you’re tearing up the Atlanta police department.”

Warning: This ABC news report is hard to watch and loaded with complete BS.

There are now reports that several police officers walked off of the job tonight in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution confirmed the reports.

From the Atlanta Journal Constitution:

“There are officers saying they are not going to leave the precinct unless to help another officer,” Vince Champion, Southeast regional director for the International Brotherhood of Police Officers, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Some are walking off and sitting in their personal vehicles.”

And the Atlanta Police confirmed there was a call out tonight.

Earlier suggestions that multiple officers from each zone had walked off the job were inaccurate. The department is experiencing a higher than usual number of call outs with the incoming shift. We have enough resources to maintain operations & remain able to respond to incidents.
