Cop here. I’ll chime in. The video itself isn’t helpful, other than proving that Bennett was detained and handcuffed. Unfortunately, we don’t have the video of what lead up to it. We could see if the officer was a complete asshole (certainly possible) or if Bennett is lying (also possible). I don’t know any of the…

We believe some people without any evidence, and don’t believe others without all the evidence in the world.

Lawd, I hate 50 Cent. He IS the reason I never watched Power.

Next up: Atlanta Falcons.

Jacksonville doesn’t have the infrastructure to handle an NFL game

If my options are brave a Category 5 hurricane or go to Jacksonville, then I’m sticking around to see what Irma is made of.

Yes no one is allowed to say anything negative about Taylor because there are worse people out there

New Urbanism isn’t a bad concept in a vacuum: It encourages community, tries to plan on a human scale, and integrates progressive techniques like transit and pedestrian oriented planning from the get go. What often happens, though, is that these communities begin to take on a lot of the nastier aspects of contemporary…

It’s questionable how much business sense it even makes. On the other side of the northern metro area is Gwinnett, which is basically Cobb’s slightly less racist twin. This ballpark is exponentially more difficult for many Gwinnett residents to access than Turner Field was. Same goes for any of the other counties in…

“You’re reminded of MARTA’s oft-cited nickname (spoiler: it’s super racist).”

I lived in Atlanta for a time in the 80's and remember that horribly racist campaign by Cobb to reject Marta. So much of my negative associations with Atlanta and Georgia in general are because of Cobb County.

I not only refuse to go, I also refused to go to Turner after they announced the move and ALSO have placed a 100-year voodoo curse on the franchise, breakable only by crossing back over the Chattahoochee.

So since one business (in this case, the Braves) makes out like bandits we should ignore all negative externalities that are generated by these decisions? We should ignore the fact that the county got fleeced for $400 million in a secretive, possibly illegal process that was so hated that the public officials…

I was born and raised in Cobb County. This summer, I went home and went to my first game at SunTrust. The park, once your inside, is amazing. The seats feel like you’re at a great minor league park and are right on top of the field. The Battery is fun too. Who doesn’t like to be able to walk around with a beer…

I was okay with the racist mascot, their flight to Cobb County, and their fleecing of taxpayers, but this assault on urban planners’ sensibilities is the final straw.

There he is everyone! It’s “that guy”!

He didn’t say no when she asked for a raise. He fired her. That’s not normal.
