Chaos erupted in Atlanta on Saturday evening following the death of 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks, who was fatally shot by police following an incident in a Wendy’s parking lot on Friday.
According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, authorities on Friday responded to a complaint of a male in a vehicle “parked in the drive thru asleep, causing other customers to drive around the vehicle.” Authorities had the man perform a field sobriety test, which he failed. Thereafter, officers tried to take the man into custody, but he “resisted and a struggle ensued,” causing an officer to deploy a taser, which the male subject “grabbed and was in possession of.”
“It has also been reported that the male subject was shot by an officer in the struggle over the Taser,” GBI’s statement on the incident detailed, providing another update on Saturday which affirmed “new videos” that “indicate that during a physical struggle with officers, Brooks obtained one of the officer’s Tasers and began to flee from the scene.”
“Officers pursued Brooks on foot and during the chase, Brooks turned and pointed the taser at the officer. The officer fired his weapon, striking Brooks,” GBI said.
Brooks was transferred to the hospital, where he died after surgery. GBU stated that a copy of the video will be released to the public.
Rioters flocked to Atlanta streets on Saturday in protest, blocking highways and setting fire to the Wendy’s, where the incident occurred:

Hotlanta!
Yes, this shit again. The Summer of Love continues.
Secondary headline:
“Trump re-election guaranteed”.
Ah it’s not pulse raising or even exciting or shocking to read about anymore.
I figure to see some new “outrage” once a week or more.
It’s still nice and calm in my suburban neighborhood for miles around.
Still, law abiding citizens shouldn’t be subject to terror anywhere.
Doesn’t matter if they voted for dems.
They didn’t vote to have their city or neighborhood burned down.
Hopefully they learned that voting for a dem IS now akin to voting for your neighborhood to burn down.
We get this sh*t until Nov. 3
And then after Nov. 3, when Trump wins, we get more of this sh*t.
We're in the race riots phase of the Deep State anti-Trump takedown attempts. Predicted by just about everyone paying attention.
Kemp needs to call in the Guard and nip this s—t in the bud. Blocking interstate highways should be illegal.
Planning on obtaining a firearm for the first time in 68 years.
Just another blcok party. 8>)
Old news. Already dispersed.
Then they were too stupid not to see the consequences. Anyone with a brain could see what was coming based on the Rats' rhetoric.
Just another block party. Darn dyslexia. 8>)
So obvious that this was going to happen, wonder why nobody thought to protect it. Or were they ordered not to?

“Not this shit again...”

Just judging from the video of the fight and the way he was fighting, the deceased perp appeared to me to be on meth. I guess we’ll see when the toxicology tests come back..
Where is CNN headquarters.
That is where we the people should be rioting.
Atlanta right?
If we were to seize and destroy CNN...that would be interesting.
This....not so much, it’s just....I don’t care anymore.
Federal highway, federal offense?
This will never end. It has not for 155 years, at least certainly not since LBJ officially opened Pandora’s Box. They will never ever be happy.
“Nip this s—t in the bud...”
Yes. The cities learned during the riots back in the ‘60’s and 70’s that you need to get control of this stuff immediately, otherwise it grows and gets worse.
It’s like stopping an infestation of bugs - you need to eradicate it fast, or the bugs just keep multiplying and get out of control.
The “Broken Windows Theory”, or as I call it ‘Grafitti Theory’, when the Hell did we decide having bleeding grafitti all over the place was ok?
“Not this shit again”
My thoughts exactly.
