An Atlanta 'defund the police' backer had his car stolen by kids in broad daylight. With today's ALG Minute, I'm Catherine Mortensen. Atlanta City Councilman Antonio Brown voted earlier this year to withhold $73 million from the Atlanta police budget. According to FOX 5 Atlanta, while he was attending a ribbon-cutting ceremony at least four kids jumped into his car and took off. Brown told one reporter, "You don’t immediately think, ‘Oh, these kids are going to steal my car." The incident occurred in the middle of a crime wave in the city. Brown, who joined the city's mayoral race less than three weeks ago, is running on a campaign of "reimagining public safety." Brown said his Mercedes-Benz coupe has keyless push-to-start ignition and he failed to realize it had been started. The councilman described the kids as being between ages 6 and 12. Maybe Brown needs to "reimagine" beefing up policing efforts in his city rather than defunding them. For more check us out at the DailyTorch.com
