Khalid Kamau, mayor of the City of South Fulton, was charged with criminal trespassing and first-degree burglary. He was released the same day on $11,000 in surety bonds.
The councilwoman who is serving as mayor pro tem following Khalid Kamau’s arrest is one of five members who filed suit against him earlier this year.
Really need more information to make any kind of call. On the one hand, I’m reluctant to believe that a mayor just broke into someone’s home for some petty theft. On the other hand, I’m also pretty suspect of any politician that claims that God is using them and their “persecution.” What is this beef between the mayor and the council? Did the council have something to do with the trespassing/burglary charges? Like wtf is this story.
From an Atlanta Journal-Constitution article
No, but the majority of the council members want him removed from office, and the person taking over for now is one of those members. So I assume they’re happy. Good ol’ political drama
They got mad because he values transparency for the public, which results in them unable to govern? Lol
I’m sure there is more nuance but lol. Pathetic from the top to the bottom
if theyre talking about private matters unrelated to city governance and hes threatening to release that, they might have a case. but if they are up in arms about hi m recording and potentially releasing discussions relating to the job itself, it makes them have an appearance of guilt.
Georgia is a one party consent state. Get fucked, city council.
