(CNN) – In the three weeks since George Floyd’s death, the role of America’s criminal justice system has been propelled to the forefront of national conversation with thousands calling for comprehensive changes within the country’s policing system.Protesters have called on their community leaders to hold officers accountable and defund police departments — in hopes those funds could be redirected toward other programs.And many local leaders have responded, signing orders changing how departments operate, promising further reform and acting quickly on incidents of police brutality that have surfaced in recent weeks.But as anger bubbles in parts of the country, some U.S. police departments are facing their own crises and some officers have now opted to walk away.Atlanta became the epicenter of protests this week after a black man was shot in the back and killed Friday night.

"Earlier today, the Atlanta Police Foundation reported an inaccurate number of officer resignations within the Atlanta Police Department since the start of the social justice protests. The Atlanta Police Foundation earlier reported that 19 officers had resigned "since the start of social justice protests." She said there is a lot of scrutiny, focused anger, and frustrations directed at law enforcement and Atlanta is no different.“There is a shift of expectations across the country and that shift will be no different than here in Atlanta,” the mayor said directing her comments to the city’s officers.
