- Off-duty Atlanta officer killed during a break-in; homeowner shot in self-defense.
- Shooting occurred early Friday in Andrews Country Club.
- Investigator Aubree Horton, the officer, lived nearby; possibly had a mental health issue or substance influence.
- APD and Douglass County Sheriff’s Office investigating; Horton served in APD’s Fugitive Unit since 2015.
Authorities revealed that Horton also lived in the neighborhood, about a half-mile from the scene, and may have been experiencing a mental health episode or under the influence of narcotics.
Or was he in a cop gang like the gangs that the L.A. Sheriff’s Department has and this was an initiation? Because that option feels almost as likely as the other two. If L.A. has cop gangs, why wouldn’t Atlanta?

They released doorbell video of the incident. Dude’s running through the neighborhood, half naked, yelling incoherently. Runs up to the home, pounds on the door, rolls around on the porch, still yelling, something about his girlfriend. Bath salts type of crazy.
Sounds like he touched a particle of fentanyl.
Don’t be ridiculous. It’s definitely not fentanyl.
We all know if he’d touched one even just one a tiny bit, it would have instantly absorbed through his skin and he would have fallen down dead on the spot, like he got unplugged in “The Matrix”
It’s just science, bro.
If that’s the case, then the gang thing is probably unlikely.
But I do think that the whole ‘police gang’ thing needs more scrutiny because there is no way L.A. is the only county with such things.
I mean police were originally extortion gangs and slave catchers. They are a state sanctioned gang.
Reminds me of my fraternity initiation.
Reminds me of my wedding night
We don’t need to be making up false correlations to justify ACAB. If anything, doing so harms the credibility of our arguments, and would be on par with the fallacy that if any group does one thing, then all groups must do it too (eg, the political “both sides” argument when someone brings up how one side is notorious for a specific behavior).
All that to say, no need to jump to conclusions and potentially spread misinformation based on a personal bias until the facts are clear on the matter. Otherwise, “we” are no better than “them”.
I’m literally not jumping to conclusions since I said it was “almost as likely” which means it isn’t even the most likely explanation.
But you must admit it’s odd that the LASD is apparently the only police department in the country with gangs.
While I will agree that words matter, so does intentions. For example, you open with,
Or was he in a cop gang like the gangs that the L.A. Sheriff’s Department has and this was an initiation? …
and close with,
… If L.A. has cop gangs, why wouldn’t Atlanta?
So at first glance it would look like saying “almost as likely” (which is sandwiched in the middle) is akin to scapegoating yourself in the same way people would use “I was just joking” or “it was a prank bro”.
Any which way you look at it, your post suggests that if one city’s cops have a gang, then all city’s cops must have a gang. And without proof of that, you might as well be saying that they also eat our pets.
Okay? Well what you think it suggests is not what I said.
I can’t help it if you decide I didn’t say the thing I literally said. I meant what I said. I wasn’t trying to trick you.
Dude left out the one sentence that proves them wrong lol
Squid already pointed out that sentence, and I was refuting it. It wouldn’t make sense to include it as it did not add any value to my side of the argument.
Hahahaha. It wouldn’t make sense including it because it proves I’m wrong is funny as fuck
Police gangs? That’s the most dystopian thing I’ve heard of in a long time.
I’m 60. When I was a teenager my grandfather told me stories of his run-ins with the lasd when he was a teenager. Police gangs are nothing new.
I see. This is the first time I’ve heard of it. Middle class Norwegian here.
When you hear American leftists still want guns for some reason, this is why.
