During an interview on Monday, Buckhead City Committee CEO Bill White said city leaders such as Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) have treated the police as if they were \u201cvillians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>White went on to say this has caused an increase in crime due to the demoralization of police. He added the people of Buckhead have grown tired of it all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere\u2019s what we\u2019re doing. We\u2019re fighting back, we\u2019re going to take control back of our city from these crazy policies,\u201d he asserted. \u201cWe have a bill in both the House and the Senate of the Georgia legislature, which when it passes in April, will put cityhood on the ballot for November of 2022. We know Buckhead city is 100 percent feasible.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hey Buckhead, when we vote for cityhood, we must  VOTE YES TWICE. <\/p>\n<p>TWO BILLS NEED A YES VOTE TO WIN. <\/p>\n<p>1ST <br \/>YES to de-annex from Atlanta (separate)<\/p>\n<p>2ND<br \/>YES to incorporate <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BuckheadCityGA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BuckheadCityGA<\/a> (independence)<\/p>\n<p>Yard signs coming soon!!<\/p>\n<p>VOTE TWICE <br \/>NOVEMBER 2022 ELECTION <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xQuJoCPQii\">pic.twitter.com\/xQuJoCPQii<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Buckhead City GA OFFICIAL (@BuckheadCityGA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BuckheadCityGA\/status\/1429764598845120513?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 23, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Reports added the group has been working on the next step of achieving cityhood.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/one-dead-7-injured-after-lightning-strikes-new-jersey\/\">One Dead, 7 Injured After Lightning Strikes New Jersey<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clouds roll into downtown Atlanta in Atlanta.
