[A prominent left-wing politician and mayoral candidate
has thanked authorities
for their efforts following the theft of his car,
despite voting to defund the local police
department last year.

Antonio Brown, city council member for Atlanta,
was attending a ribbon-cutting ceremony
on Wednesday afternoon with
local community leader Ben Norman
when his white Mercedes was jacked by four black youths.
“One kid was in the driver’s seat,”
Brown told Fox 5 Atlanta. “Ben attempted to open
the door to get him out of the car.
He fought with Ben. I then engaged and tried to
get him out of the car. The three other kids were
trying to figure out how to get in the car or
stay out of the car. He started to hit on the gas.
Ben let go.

“As he started to speed up,
and I knew that if I had not let go,
I knew I probably could have killed myself
because he was going so fast,
I would have started to tumble.
And I would have hurt him,” he added.]
