Residents of Atlanta’s wealthiest community are attempting to create their own city and police force amid a dramatic surge in violent crime citywide that includes a more than 60 percent jump in murders so far this year.
“Given everything that’s been going on here, it’s getting worse and worse and worse,” Bill White, CEO and chairman of the Buckhead City Committee told Fox News on Wednesday. “So what we’re doing because of the murders going through the roof and the attempted murders, and the lack of leadership and nothing changing—the insanity continues—is we’re demanding emergency hearings on our cityhood bills.”
