APD: "The vigil will only last as long as the shooter wants it to." tp-cdn-dev.atlscanner.com/mp3/19739-1685…
APD: "That goes for vigils, barbecues, parties, all of that." tp-cdn-dev.atlscanner.com/mp3/19739-1685…
Another officer calls out a car for a supposed traffic infraction to which the LT replies "Easy, killer." tp-cdn-dev.atlscanner.com/mp3/19739-1685…
APD then calls out a person they say was "throwing up gang signs" and schemes about how to arrest them. "So it's going to be jaywalking with that gang charge added on." tp-cdn-dev.atlscanner.com/mp3/19739-1685…
APD LT: "I'd be impressed if you make it stick." "All that crip walking." Then LT suggests further inflating the charges to "inciting a riot," showcasing how common it is and how comfortable APD is with fabricating charges. tp-cdn-dev.atlscanner.com/mp3/19739-1685…
APD then "jokes" that one driver is 83 [escaped person], followed shortly by a sarcastic "I'm joking!" tp-cdn-dev.atlscanner.com/mp3/19739-1685…
Then for a bit of irony, Zone 4 complains about Zone 2 leaving quickly using lights and/or sirens ("hitting that code") tp-cdn-dev.atlscanner.com/mp3/19739-1685…
APD: "Told you LT, they're different down here. Ain't as... rich." tp-cdn-dev.atlscanner.com/mp3/19739-1685…
Then three officers joke about blocking both entrances, assumedly because they're mad they can't leave. tp-cdn-dev.atlscanner.com/mp3/19739-1685…
They continue to throw shade on other officials including fire and another group they call "the second responders."
APD: "Hey LT how many code 19s [stolen vehicles] you think out here?" "Three or four." tp-cdn-dev.atlscanner.com/mp3/19739-1685…
The Z4 Lieutenant then shares a story about how they stalked another funeral and pulled two suspected stolen vehicles out of the procession. tp-cdn-dev.atlscanner.com/mp3/19739-1685…
Following that, they then start to discuss how "as soon as we leave somebody's gonna get 50'd [shot]." tp-cdn-dev.atlscanner.com/mp3/19739-1685…
APD Zone 4 officers then, as if discussing the weather, discuss in detail exactly how they'd disturb the scene of said shooting to get out of having to respond. tp-cdn-dev.atlscanner.com/mp3/19739-1685…
APD: "First one 26 [arrived on scene] nudges the shells over to the other side." "As you're rendering aid just move the body over." (same call) tp-cdn-dev.atlscanner.com/mp3/19739-1685…
Then another officer corrects the first two not on their behavior, but on their abuse tactics. "No, that doesn't matter where you start seeing the shells start, that's where it occurred." "True, true." (same call) tp-cdn-dev.atlscanner.com/mp3/19739-1685…
Another Z4 officer asks about the detail, LT responds "we're babysitting this... balloon release." tp-cdn-dev.atlscanner.com/mp3/19739-1685…
Zone 4 then tries again to get out of duty by noticing "It looks like there's like five or six sheriffs down there, looks like zone 4 might be alright." tp-cdn-dev.atlscanner.com/mp3/19739-1685…
Some unrelated Z4 radio traffic begins to mix in as the event winds down, with one officer describing how they are watching someone's Instagram feed to try and catch wanted persons, despite that subject not being wanted.
With one final parting gift of "All these book bags and ain't nobody going to school." "Hah!", the event concludes without further comment. tp-cdn-dev.atlscanner.com/mp3/19739-1685…
