Virtual Strike

"Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields announced on Friday that, effective immediately, the Atlanta Police Department has a “no-chase policy.” ... In the email, the chief pointed to the failure of the judicial system as a key reason for changing the department’s chase policy"

“I don’t want to see us cost someone their life in pursuit of an auto theft person or a burglar when the court’s not even going to hold them accountable,” Chief Shields said. “I mean how can we justify that? And I think we are better than that.”

I gather that Georgia forbids collective bargaining by police. Strikes are off the table. On the other hand, this kind of go-slow sounds so wonderfully caring: "It's for the innocent bystanders." It's going to be hard to call it a strike.

Does anybody have any statistics to show why we should disbelieve Shields' claim about the Atlanta court system?
