Atlanta suburb pushes to secede from city due to surging crime: 'This is a war zone'

An Atlanta suburb is aiming to secede from the Peach State's capital as violent crime plagues the city's streets.

Buckhead City Committee CEO Bill White joined "Fox & Friends First" to discuss how crime has dismantled city streets and the impact of the ‘defund the police’ movement on public safety.

"We are really feeling like this is a war zone, and I don't say that lightly, especially given what you experienced in a war zone," White told co-host Joey Jones. "This is murder and mayhem… We are dealing with a mayor who voted to defund the police.

"It's obvious that police officers do not want to come work for a mayor or a city that does not back them, so Buckhead wants to take things into its own hands," he continued.

According to Fox News tracking, rape is up 80% as of June 18, burglaries are up 26%, and robberies are up 8%.

The wealthy Atlanta enclave has been fighting to become independent of the state's capital as rampant crime has plagued the neighborhood, but has been unsuccessful so far in getting the measure on an election ballot.

"We're short 180 police officers, so what are we supposed to do?" White said.

And don't forget to blame the guns but not the feral dindoos.
