Georgia NAACP calls for immediate resignation of Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields

The Georgia NAACP has called for the immediate resignation of Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields the morning after a black man was killed in a confrontation with Atlanta Police.

Rayshard Brooks was killed outside a Wendy’s Friday night after police investigated him for sleeping in a car. Brooks and police got into a scuffle in which Brooks apparently got one of the officer’s Tasers, the GBI said.

GBI Director Vic Reynolds said it appears the Brooks ran from the officers, but then turned back around and pointed the Taser at them before officers shot him.

"At this time, we must address the oversaturated police presence in Georgia’s Black communities," the NAACP said in a statement Saturday. "This is not the first time a Black man was killed for sleeping. The Atlanta Police Department has a history of antagonizing our Black communities."

I saw that but thought this NAACP backstory might add something to the narrative.

Why should she resign? Was she the one who shot him?

Walmart is pushing a display counter full of pocket and purse-sized ethnic hair-care products to the front of the store right this minute.

He was NOT killed for sleeping, he was ATTACKING a police officer and using his taser on him

LOL!
Did they get their easily foreseeable ‘demand’ in before she resigned?

Looks like it's going to be

Democrat Racism And Riot Theatre

all the way up to the election.

Wonder how the Democrat lawn jockeys like being the Party sockpuppets to get out the vote, only to get dropped like a hot, feces-covered rock on the morning of Wednesday, November 4th?

"Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me every four years, just like clockwork, I'm dumber than a retarded box of rocks."

Shall we warm our hands by the nice bonfires that are going to create another "food desert" in another Democrat Stupidsville?

If we shipped them back where they came from, the average IQ of the continent would drop by 20 points...

Walmart is shipping the ethnic health and beauty aids to its Beijing store.

(Rumor is that the Chinese shoot looters on sight.)

It wouldn't be like this if the pandemic hadn't begun to wane.

The Left was counting in the lockdown lasting until November.

BUT NOOOO. Rednecks had to go to church and get their hair cut.

DAMMIT.
