Disabled Atlanta Officers Mistreated

This video reveals how Atlanta's workers compensation administrator and a third-party company have repeatedly denied payment for the medications, wheelchairs, and other treatments for five APD officers. Four of those officers were shot in the line of duty; one was responding to a call when another car broadsided his. Four of the officers are paralyzed from the chest or neck down while the fifth suffers from severe migraines and had to learn to read and write again.

Mikey Walker, NOVA PRO and Mayor Franklin should all be fired for these abuses of their power.

Wow to think these guys don't get paid worth a crap. Then something happens to them and they get screwed again.

This is what happens when you go to work for a liberal all black city like Atlanta. And they wonder why all the good officers leave for less pay to work in the suburbs for other counties.

I'm not from Atlanta but that doesn't seem to make a difference, there's more and more localities acting this way and just wait until Obamas health plan passes. It will be this way for everyone, especially seniors.

As for Atlanta, I just watched a video where the Atlanta Police ejected parents and friends of graduating high school seniors for standing applauding. No one was yelling or screaming, just standing and clapping. Man, what the heck's going on in Atlanta and Georgia??

Apparently the city of Atlanta did fine by these officers until it chose to contract out management of its Workmans Compensation to a private for-profit company.

Screw Mayor Franklin and her whole posse.

Thats two horrible mayors in a row that the City of Atlanta has had to suffer through....unfortunately, after looking at the crop of candidates for the office, I don't see how the next one could be much better.

If the City of Atlanta cant even take care of its own fallen police officers what makes you think a nation wide health care system is going to take care of you???

Another example of liberal bureaucracy at its finest.

Mikey Walker, the NOVA PRO employees, and Mayor Franklin are criminals, pure and simple. I'm ashamed of how my city is treating these officers.

What would you expect from a mayor that harbors a murderer and a drug dealer in her house.
