DEVELOPING: It is being reported that multiple shifts within the Atlanta Police Department have walked off the job tonight, calls are pending, and the PD is begging surrounding agencies for help.

This comes on the heels as an aggressive, local DA has filed charges against an Atlanta officer for the shooting death of #RayshardBrooks. The GBI has said they did not conclude their investigation & were not consulted on the charges either.

CONFIRMED: Atlanta PD zones 3 & 6 (southeast area) already had 30+ cops walk out on the job.

APD is denying there has been a walkout & that they are just experiencing a high volume of calls. Yet @Broadcastify APD channels are nearly dead silent. https://twitter.com/Atlanta_Police/status/1273415926872969216?s=20

Law enforcement wives group on Facebook was discussing it. I confirmed the poster claiming to be an APD wife is indeed married to an APD officer. I have blocked out her name to protect her identity.

Rapidly developing...
As of 30 minutes ago, APD had 581 calls pending. Barely any officers responding. Multiple zones' radio channels are dead air.

Here's a look at Atlanta PD zones.
