Atlanta police shot and killed a black man late Friday night following a struggle outside a Wendy’s restaurant on the city’s southside, in an incident that inflamed tensions over police use of force and racial injustice that have roiled Atlanta and cities across the nation since the Memorial Day death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis.
Video of the shooting of 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks, who had allegedly fallen asleep in his car and blocked the restaurant’s drive-through, went viral across social media. Protesters marching for a third weekend in Atlanta for justice for Floyd and other black men and women killed by police quickly demanded a full investigation Saturday of the Brooks shooting, and the Georgia NAACP called for the termination of Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields.

Who had guns?
That is a nasty uncalled for comment. I am far from drunk AND I have watched the tape twice. You find cause to insult me yet you say nothing of the man running away from the officers. YOU watch the tape
I agree with you, don’t stop shooting perps who steal the police weapons. At least until the clip is empty. Cops Lives Matter too.
He was at that time a felon suspect based on resisting arrest and two counts of assault on a police officer. Ah, why bother, we can get you tomorrow. That does make sense to let felons run off.
If the suspect had succeeded incapacitating the LEO with the taser, he could have had a gun too. The other cop was already limping following the scuffle. Don’t be a pinhead.
Not make sense.
THAT, is your EXACTE statement that I quoted.
Your a fool, and a dangerous one at that, if you believe drunk drivers should be left alone ... behind the wheel ... in a public place … accessed by public roads.
A person, every 50 minutes dies due to DUI's.
And according to you, no biggie. It's so much a no big deal that they should be left alone and dealt with the next day. That's what YOU said by that very statement. How many would it take before you think it warrants police intervention? One person being killed every 30 minutes? Every 10 minutes?
Totally reckless. Your a clear and present danger to society if you think that way.
Exactly.
When the police use tasers it should be considered lethal force?
Are you sure that’s what you want?
“So what? He was just a drunk. Arrest him tomorrow.”

Again, he is ON FOOT! Read.
Attacking the police doesn’t make sense.
He should have went to jail and slept it off.
He was an idiot. End of story.
The suspect was running away. Incapacitating the LEO was the last thing on his mind.
Resisting arrest, grabbing officers weapons....
Isn’t that just plain suicidal?
But no, let’s have a riot and claim the guy is some saint...
Pretty soon gonna be no place to shop or eat in any blue cities cuz dey got bernt all done. Don’t axe me why dey do it. ....
He attacked 2 officers.
Once again:
I.
Don’t.
CARE!
You know it looks like it's time police cadets are given full comprehensive psych profiles like they did with Submariners and Nuclear Weapons Fire Control Officers.
He was passed out in his car and ran away when given a chance.
Now you are a mind reader. Tell us why the suspect snatched the taser, and why he discharged the taser aimed at a cop. O Mind Reader...
