I rate here 3 stars. According to Yelp ratings' definitions, that's "Ok". That to me is an acceptable rating of something that does day in and day out what it is there to do. It's NOT a negative review because doing day in and day out what it is there to do is NOT an easy thing to accomplish.
Owners of this business like their Freedom so they have a Military and Veterans Discount as a thank you to Veterans with a publicly disclosed daily Veteran Discount which provides resource to ensure Veterans (rare 7% of the population) and GIs (rare one-half of one percent of the population) opportunity to participate in American Dream Veterans and GIs' sacrifices have made possible for 100% of the population. That's what earned them the fourth star for going beyond what they're in in business to do.
February is Black History Month
The woman who called 911 on 9 March 2015 told the lawyer for family of Anthony Hill that she had called to get medical help for 26-year-old Hill because he was was naked, crawling on the ground, knocking on doors asking for his medicine. No medical help was sent, only 7-year Georgia policeman Robert "Chip" Olsen, who immediately fatally shot, twice, naked and unarmed Hill. Several residents witnessed the horrifying murder.
Hill's murder came just after national protest of killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, which inspired Black Lives Matter movement. Hill had posted on Facebook about Michael Brown killing three days prior to Hill's death, "[t]he key thing to remember is, #blacklivesmatter, ABSOLUTELY, but not more so than any other life." Hill had also posted on Twitter, "[i]f 99 out of 100 cops [are] killing black men like its hunting season that leaves 1 just doing his job."
Hill's murder triggered more nationwide protests over police killings, police use of excessive force and police approach to people with mental disease, as well as critiques about race and Veterans. Hill was a black American war-disabled Veteran who had Honorably Served in Afghanistan and been left mentally wounded from his military Service.
Hill's mother stated her son changed after his deployment to Afghanistan, "He didn't come back unscathed" and that Hill had PTSD from his military Service.
Military environment can and often does act as catalyst for development and progression of mental disease. Separation from loved ones and support systems, stressors of military Service and seeing oneself or others in harm's way are all elements that increase risk of mental disease in Active Duty and Veteran populations.
Experts caution that those with mental disease are no more likely to be violent than anybody else. They are though 11 times more likely to be themselves the victim of violent crime. Which is what ultimately happened to disabled Veteran Hill who came home from war a Wounded Warrior only to be murdered two years later by police sworn to serve and protect.
Olsen resigned from the DeKalb County Police Department 25 January 2016. For ten months previous Olsen was on taxpayer-paid administrative leave during investigation.
DeKalb Georgia Police Chief Cedric Alexander said Olsen had been carrying less lethal options he clearly had available to him of Taser, police baton and pepper spray that Olsen failed to use as more appropriate for the situation, and never called for medical help for Hill. Olsen was indicted and went to trial. In closing argument prosecution argued Olsen did not follow protocol for using deadly force.
The district attorney said that Olsen was charged with making a false statement because he had told another officer during the investigation that Hill had hit him in the chest. The several witnesses disputed Olsen.
Jury convicted Olsen of 1 count of aggravated assault, 2 counts of violating his oath of office and 1 count of making a false statement. Jury was composed of 7 women and 5 men, with a racial composition of 5 blacks, 5 whites, 1 Asian and 1 Hispanic. Jury was divided 9 to 3 in favor of conviction on felony murder but to avoid deadlocking they acquitted him of felony murder and convicted him on the remaining charges.
DeKalb County Superior Court Judge LaTisha Dear Jackson then sentenced Olsen to a 20-year term, with 12 years to be served in custody. The sentence also prohibits Olsen from working in law enforcement, possessing firearms or profiting from the case. read more
