- Bickers, the former Atlanta city Director of Human Services, will also have three years of supervised release after her prison sentence.
If I had a dollar every time one of these hustlers claimed to be a pastor.
Any politicion or law enforcement officer who is convicted of a crime should be given the maximum sentence allowed by law. IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY
I totally agree because they have to set a higher standard.
Agreed, I dropped in to say just that. Public officials should pay a higher price just because of the oath of office.
That idea just resonates. Spot on.
Agree!
@@MikoWorldwide Not just about reform! It's a deterrent! No dice! Stay the same! Don't commit crimes if you can't do the time!
Everyone knows if you don't take a plea, go to trial, and get convicted, you are getting some serious time. Attorney's tell their clients this as well. She is not being penalized, she is guilty.
Straight up should've been 30+ years!!!
Its about those "charges" 💰 ... A plea costs them less
Yup
Tell her to man up her wife will understand, they did say her wife and mother was in the court room…
A supposed person of the cloth, stealing, in a same sex Union with another woman. Corruption, what am I missing here?
There is NOTHING GODLY about this lady at all. Gonna be Tossing Salads for the next 14 years and enjoying it.
They're claiming that because she rejected the plea and took it to trial, she's being penalized with a much heftier sentence? Are you kidding? That's how it works, otherwise, everyone would take it to trial.
Thank you yup
I took my plea deal. I only did a few months instead of 20 years if found guilty during the trial, which was probable.
@@robinly hell fuck yea! That’s a win all day in my book! Lol I didn’t get that lucky but I took 5 years instead of taking it to trial and facing 20! They don’t play bout that trial! U make them work, you gonna pay if u lose! Believe that!
Pronoun correction- Her/His attorney referred to Her/Him as a He. We must keep our pronouns on point. 😳
Her arrogance sunk her
"It wasn't murder, no one was assaulted..." so? Just because it's a financial crime they should not go to jail? Yea, I disagree. Should've received the 17.5 years.
That was a ridiculous and dumb statement from her attorney... look at her with her entourage feeling like a celebrity...a pastor? Yea right I'm a size 20 and can fit in at a size small... delusional lol
Trump is next
Her lady is walking like she's walking down to accept an Oscar,,
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Corruption is a first degree crime this city official was extremely lucky to get half of the mandatory sentence and her attorney declaration is about no one was hurt or killed is absolutely BS.
My thoughts exactly. I’m sure somewhere following the money 💰 someone got hurt. What about the family’s that could have gotten out of poverty with a contract; the hard working skills men/women Thant could have built a small business.
Definitely! Lives destroyed! Changed for the worse!
Actually look up Kwame kilpatrick he embezzled billions and never gave the money up and got a life sentence, but be was pardoned by Trump!!
murder always gets less time then money crimes. can't have someone make a easy buck but they can kill all day? 🤔
@@imaninternettroll1660 that’s crazy , but true! But , as OJ has shown us, it’s not what you do it’s what you can prove! And it’s so much evidence and proof of wrong doing in this ladies case it’s a shame.

Kinda bizarre how the women in the brown & white jacket holding Bickers's hand was smiling so much. She was more focused on all the cameras then the fact her friend just got 14 yrs in prison.
That's a black bish for u 🤷
I thought the same thing! Smiling like they were part of a parade. Odd.

These people just can't help themselves.....they just can't be happy earning an honest living. This is what happens to thieves when they get caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
She got caught doing what all of them do but they're not supposed to do. Gotta move slicker than that, make that money move around before collecting it.
the government learned all this from the Italian mafia. IT IS RAMPANT. How did Joe Biden afford to buy 5 mansions on a Senators salary? He must have built them with his own hands. Makes sense right? 😁
She just got caught. They all do it, but most get away with it.
All those church donations straight into her pocket as well.
These people, these POLITICIANS all across the US in all cities, suburbs , townships even HOMETOWN USA , that's what they do , it's POLITICS it's nothing new.

I was thinking the same thing. You never see this with regular citizens unless they have money or connection.

um.. isn’t that how it works? you take a plea knowing if you’re found guilty you’ll probably have to serve way more time than if you would have accepted the plea.
Yup
She(?) thought they wouldn't dare convict her(?).

You have to give corrupt government officials serious time to keep the rest honest. It's hard to catch a crooked official, so all you have for deterrence is the prospect that in the small chance they are caught they will face a stiff penalty.
Yup
100% she should have received the max! Corrupt judges and DAs are afraid if they get busted they'll get the max too, that's why the system sucks.
Learn English; you have no clue what you just said. Word soup 🤡🤡🤡🤡
An official convicted of corruption?
Which world am I living in?
3 million dollars is NOT enough she got more money than that being crooked. She should be pennyless when she is released. And its shouldve been the full 17.5 yrs. She still got off light. Everything from the cars to the house she has shouldve been taken away. EVERYTHING.
Hard for me to believe her lawyer didn't warn her of the risks of going to trial with the Feds. Now her arrogant ass gonna do that 87.5%. Lmao.
It's all her fault. She was offered to plead guilty and serve five(5) years in prison. She would have been released in four and a half years.
Really, many times plea deals suck because they force you to admit guilt when you may have been innocent. In this case she should have taken the plea deal and served 5 years. She's totally stupid.
Damn really? Yea she’s a fool then
She took a gamble 🎰
I would've taken it, especially knowing she was guilty and co-conspirators had already taken their sentences on the chin. She was up against a wall.
not in the feds..you do straight time..
When I see stuff like this,I'm glad I stayed on the straight and narrow path because 14 years is crazy.
Since she was a preacher woman you might wanna take a look at the vouchers at the church
Pastor? Why am I not surprised. Don't drop the soap!
Hahaha!!!
I don't think she wants to hold on to the soap..send her to a men's prison..
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time
Corruption happens in many city governments, businesses, churches, nonprofits-you name it. Greed/competition is at the root of capitalism.
Tell it, MissPriss919! I am building my next career as a Forensic Accountant. :)
Corruption might as well be murder……..it kills the soul of a community
Who is the lady with the orange blouse ?

Notice how she does not want to hold buckets hand. Looks like she "shakes" it loose. But then you notice she is wwaaayy back there in the distance.
Whoever she is...she wasn't pleased with how crooked bickers is ! Didnt want no part of that !
Thats her mom, she was my Sunday school teacher. Ms King until she married rev bickers.
So she’s been stealing for a long time! Not surprised at all!

Her lawyer didn't think it was no more than a parking ticket or DUI without injury. He did not prepare and underestimated the value of trust.
That lawyer is why the general public hates lawyers.
If you are in a leadership position one thing is most important Character.
Seriously this is a woman who is a pastor of a church I guarantee if she ain’t getting into heaven.I am amazed or I’m not amazed it never amazes me when I see attorneys who because they’re making some cash to put in their bank account they will talk nicely about anybody
Hiding under the guise of the cloth. Despicable.
Pastor Bickers? That title alone should be another year added to that sentence. I feel sore for all the poor legitimate vendors who lost city contracts in bidding wars simply because they were not corrupt enough to bribe her and her associates since it was all about how much she can make under the table to award your company a contract. She can ‘minister’ in prison. Might be easy because she already likes women.
She/he still has to answer to a higher power, and she/he will not like the outcome.
She likes women??? How you know that, nothing stuck out to me,😳😉😉!!!
She has to answer to the supreme judge and it won’t be a light sentence.
@@Tameka731 Well her ex live-in girlfriend testified against her in the trial about contractors dropping off bags of cash at their house so I didn’t assume she’s gay by simply looking at her in this video. lol
Did he just say, Pastor Bickers? Wow! People better start paying attention and start doing the right thing. P.S. In her case her wrong doing caught up with her. Do the crime, do the time.✌🏿
The people in this comment section who say they are happy with her sentence have never spent a day in prison nor could they survive. They speak out of emotions and not a well rounded perspective which takes life experiences. And the max sentence for any crime should never exceed 10 years. If you can’t reform someone is 10 years then the system is clearly broken and only about making money, not about making better citizens when they come out.
I don’t think many people expect someone like this to reform, they want to punish her. And in that situation, the longer the better.
@@ahoward3819 I understand what you're saying but these same people aren't calling out for catholic priests who robbed children of their innocence to be jailed. Where are those people?? Shucks, even many white government officials seem to be able to resign before it gets to this point. Smh. The American/white justice system has never been one of justice...never.
You don’t think these people would want Catholic priests that abused children jailed? Really? You might want to ask them before you assume that. Or corrupt politicians? For sure our justice system has problems- that is undeniable. But if you ask the general public what they think you might be surprised how they feel. Personally I hold close to the eye for an eye policy. The punishment should fit the crime. And anything that abuses children or the elderly should always be severely punished.
Yeah, prison is a choice. Act right and there's nothing to worry about. Pretty simple
@@ahoward3819 yes, the punishment should fit the crime. Great response bruh.😊
He looks like one tough guy, won't have any issues in prison.
It's a pretty safe assumption that corruption like this is present in local government through out the US. The ability to manipulate government to make a quick buck or enrich friends is why many run for office.
ABSOLUTELY!
Terrible. She got blessed with those accolades that many of us would love to have and she abused her power, like so many millions like her. Disgusting. So So So many like her kind running our states and the other 49 states. While other people who applied for her same position were turned down.
Corruption getting exposed it's about time
Don't feel sorry for her one bit. Just someone wasn't murder doesn't mean their weren't multiple victims who suffered because of her actions
Well I thought I was going to get probation so now I'm wanting the plea deal
Any man that lay with another man has committed a abomination and shall be put to death. This is justice all the way around the board.
If Meshach Taylor and Samuel Jackson had a baby...you'd get this black reporter dude 😅
Corruption in government is the cancer for our society and country.
She Should Have Gotten The Full 30 Year's In Prison! Our Justice System Needs To "STOP" Being So Damn Soft On Crime And Hold People Responsible/Accountable For Their Crimes Against Humanity!
Their Soft On Crime Policies Have Created The Wild Crime Filled Society We're Living In Today! 👊
Do you feel the same way about catholic priests sexually assaulting children??🤔 I have as of yet to see one arrested, serving a jail sentence or really being "exposed." This is the American justice system. Rapists and child molesters should receive 30 years or better in prison...not crimes like hers. Then again, if you're white and male...you probably don't agree with me. Lol. Come on bruh...didn't Whitney say ..."our children are the future."😊
30 years is behind crazy make her pay a fine and maybe do 3 to 7 years.
What a role model.
How is she a pastor And a lesbian?
It's call "false pastor!" It's disgusting.
Deception. Delusional. She’s not a pastor.
Why not?? Many catholic priest have ministered and sexually assaulted children. No one received a prison sentence. Where is the public outcry??
To be honest...theses days, being a pastor is just a title and means of not paying taxes. Smh. Sad but true.
@@3degreesofknowledge721 most politicians and judges are Catholics and they are in on it as well. That’s why they give lenient sentences to child molesters, and pedophiles. Put judicial system is corrupt to the core. I do not trust any of them.
Prosecutors said she directed roughly $17 million in city work to the two men and their companies in exchange for about $2 million in bribes.
SHAME ON HER
she'll 100% get her sentence commuted when Biden leaves office.
Happy to see justice, but let’s see how much time she actually serves
You go to trial, you takes your chances. Scamming city employees taking bribes should be held to the highest standard. That’s the “deterrent” we need. Atlanta city hall has been a sieve for cash being diverted for decades. Nice to see someone being held accountable.
I cant believe this one ,a preacher of color had a great opportunity and a position working for the city could be so foolish cant trust anyone these day's. Then the one man says we cant cage people the max because no one was hurt or killed.
This is the reason why or system doesn't work soft on sentencing. This is why our prisons are over crowded the same criminals go in and out of jail over and over they know the punishment is not serious.
Its a game to them away of life a cultural that no one should be proud of. Waste of taxpayers money.
Why did Kasim Reed get a pass? Did he outsmart the court system
Oh well she’s getting what she deserves! I’m sick of corrupt politics. I’m glad that the judge is sentencing her. It should be longer and these politicians don’t deserve plea deals.
Just wondering - when the prosecutor asks for ½ of the time - Do they realize the finacial disruption she caused the community, the businesses and their employees (by extention) she destroyed, and the companies that she did milk out of millions (during troubling times, and lay-offs). How many millions these companies had to pay - in the interest of - keeping up w payroll, employees and their families (that depend on that work). When you force companies to Pay to Play - you are literally destroying the community.
And her liberal bigot ass blamed whites the whole time for all the cities problems when it was her and kasim reed and the whole lot of these black liberal criminals stealing from the community.She needs to be charged with a HATE crime for knowingly stealing and coniving and falsely blaming conservatives and whites for the problems--or blaming kemp--get real.
Then lied about it to the community and blamed whitey! They knew the jig was up and wanted a cover. Thankfully sane Black Americans knew better! They just wanted the corruption gone!🤷🏿♂️🙏🏿👌🏿👍🏿
Yea they asked for almost 3 million is restitution.
What about people who murder only getting a couple of years but Steal some money and they throw the book at you
@@imaninternettroll1660 bickers and kasim reed and the other libs like the mayor and the soros DA in fulton county are also the ones who are not only corrupt themselves while committing "white collar" crimes--but they are the same idiots that are letting the murderes out of prison.I think Atl has like 3 dozen murderers who are out on bail as we speak and each week that goes by one or more of them commits another crime--and against who do they commit the crimes against--the liberal minority community that keeps voting for this whole corrupt system.No other parts of GA--red areas--have even 1/100th the crime ATL does and in my red city in our 130 year history no cop has ever killed a black and last black to get murdered 3 years ago was by another black.
She should’ve taken the plea, especially when you know you are guilty. It’s no sense in crying now. Everyone knows when you get convicted at trial, it equals more time. People need to stop thinking they are bigger than the system.
More of this please
Why would she get to "turn herself in at a later date?" Take her from the courtroom to prison.
That’s why the lady is smiling. Gettin away with it
This is the stage where the lengthy sentence is announced and everyone feels good. The next stage, where the sentence is modified down to a few months, is not quite as widely publicized.
Oh really?
If our taxes dollars was involved, should I be looking for a direct deposit coming ? 🤔
I would never mess up a good paying job . It's not worth it . Do everything the right way & get rich the right way . It's so rewarding .
She committed treason and now it is going to cost the citizens around $100,000 a year to house her in prison.
Which is preposterous because there are a great deal of small struggling families of four scraping by on $30,000 a year or less.

@@3degreesofknowledge721 can’t mock or play with God either. I assume that she was called to do the Will of GOD because she is a pastor. But you you can’t live your life at your own free will when called to do a specific work for the lord…..None of us are perfect, and I get it. But when you are called to be a minister, preacher, pastor, apostle, etc you have to set examples. God probably warned her before all of this happened but she just didn’t take heed. My prayers are with her though.
Why because she's black? You should be a comedian
Why they don’t take them into custody immediately and start serving time? It gives them an opportunity to take and “check out” early .
All smiles when she left the courthouse…But just wait until she starts doing that time 😁
