(CNN)Protesters flooded streets of southeast Atlanta Saturday night, angry over the deadly police-involved shooting of a black man at a fast-food restaurant the night before. The protesters surrounded the Wendy's where 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks was shot and then made their way to nearby Interstate 75/85, bringing the major thoroughfare to a standstill. The Wendy's where Brooks lost his life was in flames Saturday night, and a crowd also set fire to automobiles near the fast-food restaurant. Earlier in the day, police used tear gas and a flash bang to try to clear the crowd there. The chaos came after Atlanta's police chief stepped down and the mayor called for the officer who shot Brooks to be fired.
Brooks was shot in the Wendy's parking lot Friday night after he scuffled with officers and ran away with one of their stun guns, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
The incident began with a call to police at 10:33 p.m. Friday about a man sleeping in a parked vehicle in the restaurant's drive-thru lane, causing other customers to drive around it, the GBI said in a statement. Police gave Brooks a field sobriety test, which he failed, the GBI said. He resisted arrest and struggled with officers, the GBI said.

That’ll teach ‘em.
They won’t rebuild and I don’t blame them.
Enjoy those Food Deserts, assholes.
Who didn’t see this coming, especially given the lying lies the MSM has been telling about it, making it seem that the cops just murdered a guy for sleeping in his car????
The low IQ dumbasses who set the fires should be gunned down.
It took four CNN retards to write the story.
Nothing says, justice like burning down a Wendys.
I would recommend against moving yourself and your business to any large city right now.
Exurbia is your friend.
They wont rebuild and I dont blame them.
= = = = = = = =
Hard to tell in today’s times....They are just liable to rebuild and give away food to ‘some’ people for a couple of years.
Of course, when they decide to stop the free food, FD had better be standing by
Yes but this one was filmed. And it in no way is similar to Floyd. This ass hat was a big out of control chump, wrestling with the cops and stealing one of their lasers as he ran, then turned around and pointed it at the cops.
I want to see some guilt kneels taken for THIS animal. /s
I’m going to eat at Wendy’s every day this week just to help them get back the costs of losing this place and I suggest all FReepers do the same.
five actually I just did not feel like posting all of them
They are performing a reenactment of Sherman?

He was killed because he took the taser from the officer and tried to shoot him with it, justifiably so.
