Atlanta police shot and killed a black man late Friday night following a struggle outside a Wendys restaurant on the citys 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 restaurants 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.

Hundreds of people, and growing, in front of a burning Wendy’s which is next door to a gas station with no fire trucks allowed in. Darwin awards to be given tomorrow.
Wonder if theyll trash CNN again? That was pretty entertaining
I dunno what this guy weighed but he was fighting like a beast and the cops needed backup but didnt have time.
Probably was on more than just alcohol.
Bernie Kerik said it appears justified b/c he could have tased the officers then grabbed their guns.
Yet the family has already lawyered up, and things are burning.
Here we go.
It is a shame. 20 people just lost their job.
What’s next? Cops will be given batons and a gun with a single bullet they must carry in their pocket.
Seriously — the police will be given rules of engagement that will place their lives in danger.
Who would want that job?
Its terrible. Peoples livelihoods. Yeah, we saw it from the start inside the drive through window and then dining room. It was going to be gone. So sad.
Rev Al will fly in on a G5 dressed in a 3k suit.
He’s for the little people...remember that.
“Look, you dont get to shoot someone who might tase you, and what officer worth his salt lets his taser get away from him? And why the hell stop him immediately? Tomorrow is another day. I AM SICK OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!! IT HAS TO STOP!!!!!”
How did the officer not know the weapon might have been his partners service revolver? Stop giving these sub humans a pass. How hard is it to comply with officers demands?
Is the nation of CHAZ jealous yet?
I am going to guess those pumps are shut off and store closed.
Have Normals really wanted to be Policemen since Police Departments went PC all those years ago. And when the quality of Police go down, you compensate with hardware, which is why they have so much military gear now.
The criminals need to stop attacking police.
“The second burning of Atlanta?”
And no Tecumseh Sherman to be found in order to do it right
stomach for the fight?...half this forum is scared out of it mind. Cant believe some here think its ok to resist arrest, fight the cops, take a cops weapon and point it at them, yet the police are at fault...talk about surrender...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amen.... Amen!!
Yeah yet if you move to Poland will you still cheer for Florida to defeat Georgia in the Jacksonville game?
It'a a Badge of Honor to do it. This is the same shit they had during The Troubles in Ireland.
Ahhhh, the Wendy’s grease burgers. Suitable for molotovs.
At this point I couldn’t care less about sports.
Let’s get this straight. Blacks think civil rights means they are allowed to fight with police, point unknown objects that look like guns at them, and the police should not be able to defend themselves? No, grow up.
