Off-duty Atlanta police officer shot, killed while breaking into Douglas County home, deputies say
- 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.
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.
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.
Reminds me of my fraternity initiation.
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.
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.
