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.

I enjoy it when they self identify and get a ZOT.
Mods are clever and quick to anger.
lol...that’s good, too.
I swear people are getting dumber and dumber on this site as time goes by. When a officer fires a taser at a suspect to incapacitate a suspect it is to subdue a subject to put him under arrest. That is the assumed purpose. When a damn suspect fires a taser at a cop however one can safely assume it’s not to put the officer under arrest lol but rather to inflict further injury to him/her up to and including lethal injury. This is not complicated
Except now you have a violent guy on drugs, who just assaulted 2 cops and in possession of a taser. Sure let him go off on foot and tase the crap out anybody.
Actions have consequences and that should be known. You assault a cop, it may cost your life.
Well said.
#28. Gee, I guess Gen. Sherman has come back to finish the job. /sarc
Can you google?
She claims to be a family attorney. Family Law. They ain’t the top of the legal class, lol. The most political class of lawyers...social workers with a legal degree.
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.
I never said let him go.. I was implying that the Police might have been justified shooting the Perp because he stole the taser from the police then ran and abruptly turned toward the police and pointed his hand at them.. I said because it was dark the police had noway of knowing what the perp had in his hand it could have been a 9MM!!!
So is the deceased person records getting scrubbed clean? the family in 24 hours have hired a team of more than four lawyers...
Not sure how to word this without being accusatory. I looked up this name under Georgia mugshots earlier today. If you look this name up now you will be inundated with stories about this Wendy’s incident. The results I saw matched the name and the age that is being reported. If the results I saw belonged to the same man then it included a prison stay of 3 or 4 years for a violent assault and also had some mention of resistance to police during a previous arrest.
Why are you putting a stake in the ground regarding this incident?
I’m pretty sure the person you responded to was arguing the same point you were and was quoting the poster he/she was replying to.
Daniel Shaver killing is a perfect example of trigger happy cops.
Didn’t hear about that one!!

Sorry If I miss understood.
Daniel Shaver killing!
The moral of the story is follow the police orders to a tee!
Daniel Shaver was obviously drunk. he couldn't set up straight without falling over. He couldn't crawl straight. He slurred his words. That cop killed a guy that was drunk
Yep, I’ve run into that type before.
The “journalists” of the legal world.
They always leave a situation worse than they found it.
Thank God!
We have enough idiots doing that already.
Not sure how anyone else thinks or feels about all this...
I don’t really care. Don’t care about the supposed victim(s).Don’t care about the burning of cities. Don’t care about a section of Seattle being taken over by terrorists. They voted for it, they get to live with it. Don’t care about any “racial injustices” since most are perceived anyway.
I do care about the destruction of our country, defunding police to make way for Obama’s police force.Cops quitting, cops handcuffed and heaven forbid they try to enforce the law..who would want to be in that position now? So they quit, retire, kneel for BLM, or stay and get charged for doing their job. Those who stay will turn on the citizens.Those who stay will be on the side of the communists/leftists.
Just about every major corporation, every sports conglomerate, every media, every government official has kneeled, literally and figuratively, to BLM/Communism. Yet a few cops trying to do their job are blasted even on a “conservative” site.
There are bad cops. There are bad teachers. There are bad doctors. There are bad nurses. There is bad in every profession. Check the stats. The percentages are minimal.
The left has been able to make these inroads, change our society, because they stick together. They are a block all the time. We splinter. We lose.
These “protests/riots” were organzized. The media is all in. Yet, people on this site are arguing FOR those people. Astounding.
Our side abandoned every institution: education, religion, entertainment/media, government.
As a parent of 4 kids, I thought I had it set. Monitored TV, K-8 Catholic School, 9-12 public school in a district that was exceptional academically.They are all pro-life so that’s good. They don’t agree with the homosexual lifestyle but they accept it as normal as they have friends who are homosexual but mostly they don’t care. A couple go to church regularly and the other not so regularly. But the Church left them, us!
The Church followed the State and closed. Closed during a fake pandemic. It’s still basically closed. No Sacraments for 3 months. Finally, next month we can have a wedding with 15 people wearing masks.
My daughter is getting married. Her wedding and reception was scheduled for November. Since it’s so fluid...they’re getting married in a month in Church just in case they can’t in November. So we are having her wedding next month with 15 people. Wearing masks because that’s the rule. OMG. Then another one in November if we can, with a reception with 200.
And people think this is ridiculous yet no one is fighting this.
Excellent post. Thank you.
