Atlanta police shooting death of Rayshard Brooks roils city
Atlanta Journal Constitution ^ | June 13, 2020 | J. Scott Trubey, Vanessa McCray, and Arielle Kass

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’ve thought of that too. Just not worth the hassle of trying to arrest them. These guys were a little dumb though since they had the car and could of had someone pick him up later at his house.

Greg Gutfeld ought to be anchoring coverage right now.

He makes more sense than most of his Faux News colleagues.

Black people believe its their right to fight cops when they are getting arrested.

Any race of person that does this deserves the response they get. Especially if they aim a weapon back at police while running away.

Dude was brazen enough to take a cops taser and then point it back at the cops while running away. I dont care what color you are you’re going to get shot. And I do not have a problem with that. Not one bit. Especially when you are in the wrong and the officers are not acting under color of law. Dude falls asleep drunk in a wendys’ drive through, and then fights being arrested for an obvious dui, then beats on cops, gets one of their tasers and points it at the cops following him after hes running away from them.

Black people do not act like normal people while being arrested. they act like black people. they pull this fighting and attacking cop sh1t. Thats why they get shot.

Normal civil people do not do this. Urban black people cannot act civil. To wit, the riots and lootings nationwide. Act like civilized people you get treated like civilized people. Fight with cops while getting arrested for something you obviously did - the dui, the drugs on you, the fighting, etc - and you will be treated as the dangerous thug you are.

Soon, maybe the gas station next to Wendy’s will explode. Already looted....should cause quite a fire.

Police in every liberal city should just say eff it and quit. White fools need to stop supporting athletics and indoctrination centers called universities.

What the hell did you expect the officer to do when the punk took his taser and fired at him?

No, most of us are sick of police not being allowed to do their jobs and protect the public with morons defending the criminals that resisted arrest of were rioting.

I am seriously considering retiring to Poland.

I’ve heard good things about Poland. Having an exit strategy is good planning. I’m glad that the Founders aren’t around to see what the swine have done with the pearls they cast.

That took place two hours ago. Most have already been dispersed.

I’m beginning the process of divorcing myself from this society. There’s very little about this country today that makes me proud, in spite of Trump winning, the writing is on the wall, Demographics is Destiny.

Only war can restore what has been lost, and I don’t think we have the stomach for the fight.

Yeah Gee, back in the 1960s the parking lot at Atlanta/Fulton County Stadium was known as a crime infected crud hole. Of course that was the original stadium. Are they now on their 3rd or 4th baseball park? The Olympic baseball stadium is now a football venue for Georgia State. The trend for major league sports is to move to the suburbs to avoid the crime of the inner city democrats.

That’s what you thought anyway. Doesn’t exactly seem to be going the way you thought. They were fired so your hypothesis is incorrect.

The American people better figure out how these jackass Internet videos are being used against them, real quick.

Americans have watched too much TV and have the attention span of a mosquito. The Democrats have this figured out really well.

These riots show why we are a nation of laws, as the Dems so often piously mouth. This crap is the mob rule that the Democrats want, not justice.

Don’t resist arrest
Don’t be high as a kite
Don’t grab a cop’s taser and point it at him

If they catch you high/DUI, you’re going to jail to detox.

Finally, don’t resist arrest.
