Rayshard Brooks, a 27-year-old Black man, was shot and killed by Atlanta police officers after he was found sleeping in parked car at a Wendy's drive-thru on Friday night.
According to a statement from the Georgia Bureau of Investigations, police were called to the scene shortly after 10:30 p.m. because Brooks' car was blocking other drivers. The GBI said Brooks failed a field sobriety test, after which officers attempted to arrest him.
Investigators said Brooks "resisted" arrest and "a struggle ensued," during which an officer deployed a Taser.
"Witnesses report that during the struggle the male subject grabbed and was in possession of the Taser," the statement said. "It has also been reported that the male subject was shot by an officer in the struggle over the Taser."
He was drunk and fell asleep at the wheel in the drive thru at Wendy's, and that is why 911 was called.
Of course BLM will state he did not have a weapon, but he did, he had a car, if he had killed somebody on the road? and what would have happened
Well, here we go again. A bunch of white 20-somethings and old hippies are going to protest again, and the black three will loot again.
He had a taser
Round two about to begin!
Ring the bell!
Don’t call 911 if the person you are reporting is a minority. Just let them inconvenience you/threaten you and learn to live with it.
This rule applies to all people, especially minorities who have 911 on speed dial.
“A 27-Year-Old Black Man Was Shot And Killed By Police After They Found Him Asleep In A Car At A Wendy’s”
Should read
“A 27-year old man was shot and killed by police after resisting arrest, struggling and attempting to take the officer’s weapon”
-shrug- Just do what happens in Dallas - push the obstructing vehicle out of the way with your truck and drive on.
Rayshard Brooks obviously had been listening too much CNN who has been telling everybody that Black Lives Matter more than Blue Lives Matter.
Good shoot.
BS Headline. He grabbed his taser but this will start more riots cause how dumb people are.
he may not have had a weapon at the time of the struggle, but he acquired a weapon during the struggle. The good news is he acquired the stun gun instead of the real gun or the headline would be much different.
BLM needs to concentrate on conditioning their members to be law abiding citizens that respect others and commandeer respect from others. Instead they wrongly concentrate on conditioning the public at large to blindly respect them. No matter the skin color it doesn’t work that way.
The problem starts when he tries to run away and the police apparently shoot him in the back. That is unjustified and simply murder. It is on video, maybe more than one. Was it accidental or intentional?
A taser is not a weapon and running away from officer means no imminent threat. Murder.
“struggling and attempting to take the officer’s weapon”
taking officer’s weapon
As soon as I saw the headline I knew the story wasn’t what the headline said.
More Christmas shopping.
“A 27-year old man was shot and killed by police after resisting arrest, struggling and succeeded in taking an officer’s weapon”
Another innocent black man’s life taken by cops. All over a hamburger.
