Atlanta police shot and killed a black man late Friday night following a struggle outside a Wendys restaurant on the citys 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 restaurants 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.

Bungle in the Jungle II
Gee, let me guess, ghetto ferals are going to loot businesses and burn the city down?
Has the media determined the shooting was likely due to the confederate-ish state flag, yet?
Fires already set at the Wendy's where the shooting happened.
He also keeps saying the protestors are outraged when it looks like they're having a good old time.
Lord, we pray for the peace only you can bring. A peace that surpasses all understanding.
The second burning of Atlanta?
Aren’t the ‘riot police’ now out and blocking this protest that has begun..won’t they stop this nonsense...where is the Mayor at tonight?

Wendeys has fire coming out the drive thru and in the dining room.
I75/I85 shut down
Their tantrums are getting old
Full investigation completed. Yet again, someone fighting with police, ‘cept this time, stole a weapon and ran towards others. I’m sure there’ll be a big memorial service and lots of Targets looted to make people feel better.
FFS, is there really a lack of people with balls out there to say ‘hey, you know, maybe we’re doing something wrong here...?’ Nahh, Joe Biden would declare them not-black with his extraordinary powers of granting race.
If I were the cops from now on I would just let these black thugs do whatever in the hell they want if they rob a store and kill someone just let them go until LAW ABIDING citizens start rising up the way these mobs are there is nothing more the police can do, this guy STOLE the policemans taser and turned to shoot them with it!! He fought the police fiercely before stealing the taser I guess the police are just supposed to let THUGS go!! SO from now on just let them go PERIOD!!
There are flames coming out of the drive-thru window.
From what I have seen this shooting appears to be wholly justified. The mayor has already fired the officer. Unreal.
The RNC in downtown Jax is going to be a riot!
Look, you don’t get to shoot someone who might tase you, and what officer worth his salt lets his taser get away from him? And why the hell stop him immediately? Tomorrow is another day. I AM SICK OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!! IT HAS TO STOP!!!!!!
That fire inside the Wendy’s just started. Either the helicopter or drone footage was of the wrong building or it wasn’t on fire until now.
