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.

Good observation.
Ummm, If you attack the police anything can happen.
Your life may be different than mine, but I don’t attack police.
They want me in jail for the night, I go.
You suck as any kind of legal counsel.

My clients love me. So guess again.
Sure.
You probably have found the story by now, but just in case...
Atlanta Police: 2 dead, 5 injured in Edgewood neighborhood drive-by shooting
Exactly. Why not let him sleep it off? They darn sure did NOT have to shoot the man in the back. You are in no danger from a person who is running FROM you. Lord Have Mercy!
in the Rodney King Riots, more hispanics were arrested than blacks.
Your argument that “decisions” cannot be made under the influence of mind altering drugs or alcohol does not sit with the court.
You are a lawyer, yes?
“Only war can restore what has been lost“
Seems like the gulf between the two sides can never be reconciled.
Christian/capitalist vs Modernist/Marxist
To avoid destruction, I’m leaning toward negotiated urban secessions. Sanctuary Cities and CHAZ are leading the way. Watching them collapse would be interesting.
“So what? He was just a drunk. Arrest him tomorrow.”
Right there, you’ve lost any semblance of reasonableness.
Just arrest the drunk behind the wheel tomorrow?
You clearly have never lost anyone to DUI, or have never witnessed the horrific scene of a DUI accident.
Leaving a drunk driver alone, to wake up who knows when and drive anywhere so that you can “arrest him tomorrow” is brainless.
Every day, almost 30 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes — that’s one person every 50 minutes.

In this case, as I have pointed out, the cops have the guy’s car, he is on foot, he’s not going to crash into anyone, and doesn’t deserve the death penalty.
Don’t steal a cop’s taser in a gunfight.
Just kill’em all? You are in the wrong country, this ain’t China yet.
Ok, how about Singapore.
Yes, and if you are drunk, it mitigates intent.
Morons are making it harder for the police to do their jobs and the result is going to be an explosion of crime. If you're okay with that move to a big liberal city.
Sober up and watch the tape.
How about the “intent” to got inebriated.
The suspect turned and fired a taser at the officer. The black man engaged in a potentially fatal act against the officer. You do know a taser incapacitates a person. The officer would be completely vulnerable if the taser hit and then the suspect could have taken his gun. The hell is wrong with you and so many others on here. This is as clear a case of a good officer shooting as you can get
This is not the first time.
