During the investigations into the Atlanta Child Murders, two organizations for
community defense were organized and developed by poor communities in Atlanta:
the STOP Committee and the Bat Patrol. Which of the following were not critiques
of the city government made by these organizations?
Because the mayor and police chief were white, not enough action was taken to
stop the murders
City hall was too slow in forming a task force and took too long to admit that
there was a serial killer targeting black children from poor and working class
communities
O
Atlanta wanted to keep up the image of the city by labeling victims as runaways
instead of investigating disappearances as potentially linked to the serial killings
Atlanta's black leaders did not do enough to stop the killings from happening,
partly because they did not want to lose local control of investigation by calling
in FBI and National Guard to protect children
