I’m heartbroken over the murder of 8 year old Secoriea Turner in Atlanta on Saturday night. Jeff & I are praying for her family, her friends, and her loved ones. We urge anyone with information to please come forward. (1/6)
I’m also furious. I’m furious that elected officials with a radical agenda have decided to appease violent criminals instead of protecting the public. And I’m furious that these “leaders” refuse to support law enforcement at a time when they need it most. (2/6)
.@ga_dps was vandalized & an 8 year old was murdered on Saturday — a day meant to celebrate what makes America great. Others were injured & last night a 53 year old was murdered too. The defund the police movement — and those who support & appease it — deserve blame. (3/6)
For weeks, I’ve warned that the defund the police movement must be stopped. 12 days ago, I warned specifically about the dangers of the mob violence going on right where Secoriea Turner was murdered. (4/6)
When I called for law and order in Atlanta’s streets, I was attacked — in no small part because of my conservative values. Now, another innocent person has died in these lawless zones. I will continue to fight for the safety of our loved ones and our neighborhoods. (5/6)
Law enforcement must be given additional resources & strong public support. Order must be restored. How many more innocent children have to die before local leaders grow a spine? Stop playing politics. Do your job. Support our law enforcement. Start saving lives. (6/6)
