The fire marks the second incident at an Atlanta police training facility, following a shooting that had taken place months prior, which has resulted in the growing protests in the city.<\/p><p>Georgia Governor Brian Kemp noted that the incident was an \u201coutrageous and completely inexcusable\u201d means of destruction, and one that not only put officers in danger, but also the community.<\/p><p>\u201cThose are the tactics of organized criminals, not protestors, and their supporters should ask themselves if they truly want to be associated with such radical and violent people,\u201d Kemp said. \u201cWorking with state, local, and federal law enforcement partners, we will find these criminals and bring them to justice.\u201d<\/p><p>But will the situation get any worse before it gets better? Joining us now to discuss this further is Michael Letts, a law enforcement veteran with over 30 years of experience under his belt. Letts is founder, President and CEO of InVest USA, an organization that provides bulletproof vests to police officers through various charitable groups and sponsorships. His expertise should prove useful in this matter.<\/p><p><strong>Q&amp;A:<\/strong><\/p><ol type=\"1\"><li>Why are Atlanta citizens so up in arms against their police force? Is it that shooting that took place months ago at the training facility? Or perhaps something else?<\/li><li>Do you see the \u201cfight\u201d between the Atlanta residents and the police possibly getting worse? Could it get to the point that police officers are put at risk by the very people they\u2019re trying to protect?<\/li><li>Do you believe Gov. Kemp will do anything to try and put things at ease before the situation escalates any further? Or is there really anything he can do at this point?<\/li><li>Is there anything you want to say to the Atlanta police officers who are facing such insurmountable odds right now?<\/li><li>Why is the government taking so long in funding the police again, so that Atlanta and other states can properly get the gear, mental support and numbers they need to do their jobs?<\/li><li>You\u2019re the creator of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.investusa.org\/\">InVest USA<\/a>, an organization that provides bulletproof vests to police officers through various charitable groups and sponsorships.
