(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.

Black criminals do get away and then they go hide with relatives in another black city where they commit more crime and maybe kill someone.
That’s really great. More African-Americans out of work because brain-dead idiots are holding the wrong people responsible.
Some self-defense models work that way. The ER in Taser stands for electric rifle. They fire electrodes connected to wires into the target.
“.let the guy run..”
And if he runs straight to your car, drags you out of it and runs over you, killing you as he escapes to commit more mayhem, oh well...bad luck.
Fake news, no cars have been burned. Liars.
Where do they think minorities get their first jobs? Yeah, right at a place like that Wendy's in Atlanta. No minority in Atlanta would burn it down. This is the work of out of state hired thugs or folks hopped up and out of their minds.
CNN calls them "Protesters" , I call them "Arsonists, Looters, Vandals, Rioters, Child haters and worse". CNN turns a an unseeing blind eye at them, treating them as if they are good.
13% of the population is controlling the country though intimidation. Lets stop that.
Video of the fight.

Is there a single one of these incidents in which the dead man didn’t resist arrest?
It’s become crystal clear that there’s a faction of our society that wants to give violent people free reign. They don’t want lawbreakers arrested. They want mobs to run wild. They want cities to burn. They want to sow discord and destruction.
Why? Follow the money; it always leads to the answer.
Ill take my burger well done please
Must be. Or it is more likely that the area where there is rioting has a different economic distribution
How about these guys just become law-abiding citizens like the rest of us so they don’t get the cops called on them? I don’t use counterfeit money to pay for things, nor do I show up at a Wendy’s drive thru so drunk that I pass out in the drive thru. BTW imagine is this guy feel asleep on a freeway or ran a red light? Someone would have been killed.
Neither of these killings would have happened if these guys didn’t break laws. Of course neither of these criminal acts warrant a death sentence, but we’ve all seen police dashcam footage of routine traffic stops where pulling over somoene for a broken taillight can end up turning into a shootout.
And let’s not forget that if he had shot the officer with the taser, he would have had free access to the gun...that makes it self-defense.
One might come to the conclusion that you “earned” the right to live in an area that features a different economic distribution.
Shhhhhh
Dont confuse folks with the facts
Give us immunity from prosecution for all crimes or we will burn this mofo down.
That's right next to the sacroiliac.
That's better than being shot in the package delivery area.
