Atlanta police shot and killed a black man late Friday night following a struggle outside a Wendy’s restaurant on the city’s 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 restaurant’s 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.

Arrest him tomorrow, he just stole the taser and possibly tazed the officer and you just said go get him tomorrow, oh okay buddy boy, here’s your soy milk
You are fighting a losing argument.
Might as well turn a gun on FR.
What we might see though is less want to go to police academy and some cops end up doing security work. If my son wanted to be a cop I would counsel him not to bother
Oh it’s burning.
The freest countries are South Korea Switzerland and a few others. Problem is when the USA falls the west of the world is royally you know what
Are you just generally an unhappy person? Asking for a friend ...
Hotlanta indeed.
“you don’t get to shoot someone who might tase you”
Wanna bet?
Where are the fire hoses?
— to put out the fire?
No, to mow down the rioters.
I don’t think so- it seems pretty tame (aside from the fire) compared with 10 days ago. We’ll see.
Yeah, I plan to tell my brother-in-law that. And NZ's young female prime minister of New Zealand is pretty far left, I think. I know she's anti-gun... she just banned all guns recently, if I remember correctly. I've never been to NZ. From what I see of it on TV, it looks beautiful. I'd like to visit, but I wouldn't move there.
Poland is a different animal. They know what Communism is, they have National pride, and it’s a place for normals. One of the few left.
Yes, that's why I would consider Poland over a place like New Zealand (although the winters will be awfully cold).
In all honestly, my husband and I aren't planning to move out of the US at all. But your term - Demographics is Destiny - really bothers me. I think about that constantly, and wonder what the future of the US will be. From what I've seen recently, it isn't good.
Maybe The American Redoubt is our last hope.
I vote that we put Jefferson Davis’s statue back up everywhere.
Yes, Trump Girl, LET THEM GO! ???
??
Yes, let them go.....kill someone else some place else
This is the hill you want to die on?
You're nuts.
This is part of the problem. The guy was a drunk. Let him run. How far is he going to get? The cops have his car. Let the day shift arrest him tomorrow.
EXACTLY. This is the damned problem! How does a drunk dude asleep in his car get shot dead in the back by police? It should NEVER happen. There was no problem before they arrived.
I despise BLM, but I support the goals of pushing back against the law enforcement police state. Get the hell out of our lives.
That attitude is part of the problem.
