BCN’s Role in Local Government

The area referred to as Buckhead has 43 officially designated neighborhoods, and sits in 5 NPU districts and 4 City Council districts. The Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods seeks to offer a unified voice for Buckhead residents across these civic boundaries.

Neighborhoods

Buckhead has 43 officially designated neighborhoods, many with their own neighborhood associations. The Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods is a coalition of more than half of these neighborhoods representing over 75% of the more than 80,000 residents of Buckhead.  In addition to providing a unified voice for these neighborhoods, the Council also represents several large condominium associations that fall outside neighborhood lines.

Neighborhood Planning Units (NPUs)

Neighborhood Planning Units (NPUs) are citizen advisory councils that make recommendations to the Mayor and City Council on zoning, land-use, licensing, and other planning issues. Buckhead is chiefly located in the NPU-A, NPU-B, and NPU-C boundaries, although it also has neighborhoods in the NPU-E and NPU-F boundaries.

City Council Districts

Atlanta City Council is the main municipal legislative body for the City of Atlanta. It consists of 16 elected members (one for each of the 12 districts, one for each of the 3 at-large posts, and the City Council President). Buckhead is largely contained in City Council Districts 7 and 8, with some neighborhoods in Districts 6 and 9. There is currently also an At-Large Council Representative living in Buckhead.

Is The New ATL DA A HaCOONamatata?

Some would say that Fani Willis is bought and paid for by the Police Union and Buckhead. The very groups that wanted Paul Howard out of office because they could not control him and because he would prosecute police officers just like anybody else.

When she was running for DA, Fani Willis slammed Paul Howard for the over 100 cases of police misconduct sitting in the DA's office. But what is she doing about them in the interest of justice?

And as an example, has she already abdicated her responsibility to prosecute Garrett Rolfe for killing Rayshard Brooks? She sent the case to the state but why not handle the case yourself Fani? And if you think Fani the case was substantial enough to send to the state, why don't you think the case is substantial enough for you to do your job? Could there be other powers you are answering to or beholding to like the police union, Mary Norwood and Buckhead?

This is a case about racial bias at a Wendys and a DA's that the lily white Buckhead powers and heads of the police union want to control, pure and simple. But t should be about justice, regardless of color and punishment, regardless of who wants to control the DA.

This, as I knew would be the case, is a big test for who Fani Willis is and whether or not she will be about justice. NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW AND CERTAINLY NOT GARRETT ROLFE. So what should we expect Fani Willis to do with the investigation against lily white Donald Trump who is supported by lily white Buckhead and much of the police union that backed Fani Willis?

Time will tell so keep watching closely. Garret Rolfe should be stripped of his POST certification so he can never be a police officer in Georgia again. If not, he will simply wait until this quiets down and get a police officer job in another town somewhere, even though he was FIRED BY APD. And even though he had a history of issues that concerned the OPS department of APD.

I hope the family and attorney for Rayshard Brooks reads this post. If you know them, get it to them. His state police certification must be pulled. And winning money paid out by insurance companies or backwards racist Rolfe supporters does not deter people like Rolfe. Bad cops make it hard on the many, many good, dedicated and law-abiding cops.

Finally, no matter what you mat want to think, at least police were deterred when Paul Howard was in office. NOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT BAD COPS HAVE A FRIEND IN DA FANI WILLIS?
