Hip Hop running Atlanta politics

After living in Buckhead for seven years and watching it get overtaken by violent crime and hip hop-related shootings and warring gangs, I'm not sure why these so-called artists are so proud to claim power and responsibility publically in a self-incriminating way.

Everything in the news being about defunding alleged racist police (including the majority-black force), seems like a conflict of interest when known gangsters are "running" the city, according to them and the mayor, who stands by their side. No wonder Buckhead wants to become it's own city separate from Atlanta and have a dedicated police force. Take a lesson from the cartels running territories in Mexico, fueled by drugs, car theft rings, robberies, strip clubs, prostitution and human trafficking.
