 Atlanta Police have finally identified a robbery suspect they shot dead four days before Christmas. Police say that 44-year-old Carlos Stringer of Riverdale is the man who marked the third shooting by Atlanta officers in just four days. Two of those victims died from their wounds. All of the men shot by police had been confronted during robberies, according to the department. For example, on Dec. 18, officers exchanged gunfire with an armed man police said was running from a house in northwest Atlanta that he had just tried to rob. No one was injured, and the suspect was taken into custody. A day later, an Atlanta police officer shot and killed a man who allegedly kidnapped and tried to rob a pedestrian and was being pursued by a patrol car in northeast Atlanta. Two days after that, Stringer was shot to death while he and another man were running from a Dollar General Store. Police say an officer confronted the men and ordered them to freeze. Stringer was shot in the head and the other man escaped. All three shootings are still being investigated.

Did I miss something OLOUWNA?!! Where is this article does it give the race of the men shot by police??!!!!! Your racist atrtitude only further let’s me know how ignorant you really are! Don’t assume anything, prepare yourself with facts, and you’ll do oh so much better in life. As an African American I resent your statement, and challenge you not only to do better, but to make a positive contribution and keep the negativity to yourself

Olouwna- Black Americans are American citizens.
Check the stats, more crime is commited against Black Americans than any
other ethic group in America.

I worked for a company that was 99.999% white. I was the only Black hire
in the past 15 to 20 years. I did become a manager. I was removed because of lies of how I was mistreating other people. Then my job
was outsourced. I worked for the company for 10 years. They gave me
only a quarter of severance pay. Nobody cares. Nobody was willing to stand up for the truth. I could tell you story after story after story.

These men that rob, what choices did they have?

Police will never held accountable for any wrongdoings that occur under their patrol.The head man (chief of Police) seems to think that it is okay to kill people and get away with it. But one thing they must remember they have a family. You are always under the microscope.
