Atlanta police shooting death of Rayshard Brooks roils city

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.

I’m sick and tired of criminals not respecting cops when they are in the wrong.

The Lord can give us inner peace and that’s the most important kind.

But these animals (those who just like to destroy, don’t matter which race) are gonna destroy things over this.

There is usually only peace after a lot of pain and suffering and violence, and after good men step up.

But inner peace can get one through anything.

There are now. There wasn’t up till now. Fox has a helicopter shot of two buildings. I rewound my DVR and neither building was on fire at the time the talking said the Wendy’s was on fire.

So is the deceased person's records getting scrubbed clean?

Of course. With Comet cleanser and BitBleach. From a police record that looks like the police computers broke out in a rash (thanks to Blues Brothers movie)----- to nothing worse than a parking ticket while he delivered meals to the hungry for a charity group.

Sainthood is quickly on the way. His gentleness. The way he was always there to help a friend. /sarc

The inspiring portraiture on the BLM banners and picket signs. The humbly kneeling Pelosi and Schumer looking around for the TV camera "on" lights.

Now that is what we call turning his life around.
