In fact thousands of kids in the Middle Georgia area participate in youth leagues every spring and fall, and adult leagues, like FPD's Redeemed Futbol, are beginning to sprout up. I would like to invite and encourage those of your readers who have never witnessed a soccer match to go out to a college, high school, or even a recreational league match to learn more about the game and, perhaps, experience some of what has made soccer the most popular sport in the world. And the many thousands of local soccer fans would greatly appreciate more coverage of the Atlanta Beat, as well as other local soccer events. The two attitudes may well be heading this country into a police state. Mr. Jones' idea that there was some justification to shooting a fleeing suspect because he had 14 warrants is insane.
Many communities already live with the fear of arrest.
Yes, many deserve to be arrested but many are arrested just to fill city coffers. There are areas of Atlanta where you can be arrested for not having insurance and other areas where you just get the ticket and are sent on. You are arrested in some areas for an expired tag but in others it's just the ticket. The reasons for these arrests are simple. Every time bail is posted, a portion of the bail is kept after you appear in court to fund the city jail.
