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.

What if the criminal were to tase a cop and take their weapon? What then Einstein? Don’t wanna get shot? Dont act like a violent out of control animal then!

Brooks will probably be celebrated in another televised state-like funeral just like Floyd.
We must take back the streets and find some way to stop all of this anarchy!!
Yes, a police officer gets to shoot you if you shoot a taser at him.
Hoverin’ by my suitcase
Tryin’ to find a warm place to spend the night
A heavy rain a fallin’
Seems I hear your voice callin’
“It’s all right”A rioting night in Georgia
A rioting night in Georgia
I believe it’s rioting’ all over the worldNeon signs a flashin’
Taxi cabs and busses passin’ through the night
The distant moanin’ of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain to the nightA rainy night in Georgia
A rioting night in Georgia
I believe it’s rioting’ all over the worldHow many times I’ve wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it, think of it
You just got to do your own thingI find me a place in a box car
So I take out my guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it’s hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest
And I’m all rightA rioting night in Georgia
A rioting night in Georgia
I believe it’s rioting’ all over the world

Riots, looting, mayhem, and chaos should fix anything wrong with society. Mars sounds better every day.
I’m sick of criminals being criminals & violent. Has to stop.
Any innocent person might jaw back if he’s just woke up, be it passed out or whatever. This guy fought back hard, stole a weapon, used it and it cost him.
Ok. These cops approached the guy, he resisted and fought 2 cops.
It doesn’t work that way in a civilized society.
So, what you have to say may get you cheers on Facebook, but it’s not here.
The guy was wrong. Period.
I’m 45 minutes outside ATL..not far enough. I’m glad the Braves moved from that cesspool anyway.
Travis is a realists. He can look at the facts and see things as they actually are. Not as he would want them to be or like them to be, or as others say they are. Then he can formulate a plan to deal with them. He is not in denial.
I am seriously considering retiring to Poland. A Christian Nation that still reveres its’ heroes.
It’s just about over and out here. Should have picked our own f’ing cotton.
Is the race of the police officer known? I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a minority.
Yes he does. If he fought him, took his weapon , then yes- expect to get shot.

Oh you can bank on that! This gives Lyin Al’s life meaning!
This creep is a cancer on the Black Community!
Looks like they’re starting to scope out stores in D.C. now.
Atlanta is burning. The last time I heard was during the movie GONE WITH THE WIND
Faux News is showing nothing new and saying nothing new. Pre-empted the Greg Gutfeld Show for no reason.
Stop spreading BS. The guy turned and raised his hand with a weapon. That’s purely justified.
Wendy’s is burning. Not Atlanta.
