Protesters burn Atlanta Wendy’s where cops fatally shot Rayshard Brooks

Protesters set fire Saturday to the Atlanta Wendy’s where, the night before, a black suspect was shot dead as he fired at two white cops with a stolen police Taser.

Angry crowds protesting the racially charged shooting of Rayshard Brooks, a 27-year-old father of four from Atlanta, also shut down an interstate highway.

Crowds of several hundred had gathered outside the fast-food restaurant all day Saturday, but began breaking windows of the establishment after sunset, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

A fire started inside at around 9:30 pm., according to the paper.

As smoke billowed from the restaurant, some protest organizers encouraged demonstrators to go home, but police moved in to make arrests, the outlet reported.

Brooks was fatally shot by an Atlanta police officer during a struggle after he failed a sobriety test in the Wendy’s parking lot.

The blm crowd will destroy things even when the shooting was justified. Message sent: let black criminals get away with whatever they choose to do.

HA! Serves those Wendy's employees right for calling the cops on a guy who was sleeping in his car in the drive=thru.

Bet they won't do that again.

Idiots.

You couldn’t get Flame Broiled Burgers at Wendy’s, until now.

Atlanta, the city too busy to hate but not too busy to burn and loot.

“Democrats Burn Wendy’s”

When will the Stupid Party get that?

The meme for this year is Democrats = Rioter Party

The meme from the Rats is Republicans = Racist Party

Which one do they think the electorate actually worries about?

This will be a regular thing when Obama’s Civilian Army replaces police forces

Someone reports McD’s ran out of Chicken McNuggets. The responders will show up, burn the restaurant and beat the manager to death

All of this could have been avoided if the police had not wasted 24 minutes of useless questioning of Brooks. Cops should have taken 5 minutes of questioning, sobriety tests and then arrested him for DUI.

Why does the media say the protesters burn down a Wendy’s?

Why don’t they say that arsonists or rioters burned down a Wendy’s?
