Atlanta Police Team With US Marshall Service To Remove 8 Violent Street Pirates Off Of The Streets

8 gang members arrested in Atlanta

With all due respect - this joint operation between the US Marshall Service and the Atlanta Police will keep more Black people alive in the next 3 years than will the protests against the Death Penalty by the Civil Rights Pharisees.

The better question for those who purport to be advancing our community's interests is - How is it that these and so many other potential "pillars of the community" allowed to fester and transform into "Street Pirates" - the primary assailants of people WITHIN the Black community today?


The AJC Article
The U.S. Marshals Service says eight of Atlanta's "most violent" gang members have been arrested in a joint operation with Atlanta police.

The operation was conducted over four weeks in October by the Marshals Service Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force Counter Gang Unit and the Atlanta Police Department Gang Unit.
Gavin Duffy, senior inspector for the Marshals Service, said Tuesday that the investigation was focused primarily on street gangs in the Cleveland Avenue, Mechanicsville and Summerhill areas of south Atlanta.
Four of the suspects were wanted on drug-related charges, three for armed robbery and one for homicide. Authorities seized four firearms, more than $10,000 in cash, two vehicles and illegal narcotics with a street value of more than $50,000, according to Duffy.
Those arrested included Phillip Tarver, wanted for the slaying of a 17-year-old in south Atlanta; Cedric Thompson, aggravated assault; Steven Collymore, armed robbery; and Leon Collins, armed robbery and carjacking, Duffy said
Two other fugitives, Deante White and Kenny Norwood, members of the so-called Raised on Cleveland street gang, are being sought on firearms and narcotics violations.
