Keisha Lance Bottoms: Our Police Have Been Given a ‘Historic Pay Raise,’ I Would Expect Commitment in Return

RUSH EXCERPT:

BOTTOMS: “But what I will say is this. My administration has had a great working relationship with our officers. In fact, our officers were given an historic pay raise by our administration. It was so our officers wouldn’t have to work three Jobs and be fatigued so they could afford to live in the city of Atlanta and so that they would not be resentful about policing our streets, so that we could have the best to choose from on our force. And so what I would say is in the same way our administrations made that commitment to our officers we expect our officers will keep their commitment to our communities.”
