Protesters burn Atlanta Wendy’s where cops fatally shot Rayshard Brooks
NY Post ^ | June 14, 2020 | Vincent Barone

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.

I’ve been told you need 20-30 staff per store for the rotating shifts 7 days a week. Subject to store size and customer volume, obviously.

Burning that Wendy’s cost the local community a fair number of jobs for younger workers.

The black lives who work, study to improve themselves, own or run businesses and create jobs don’t matter to the left. It’s only the criminal class and the robots for the “revolution” that matter.

Ahhhhhhh. NOW I get it. Well, hell, why didn't somebody say that to begin with?

I suggest a new slogan. Black Lives That Are Part Of The Criminal Class And Are Robots For The Revolution Matter, Black Lives That Work For A Living To Improve Their Standard Of Living, Not So Much.

Whew. That's kind of a long slogan. I wonder how many city blocks it would take to paint that on the street.

Maybe it would work to bulldoze the entire area since they have no respect?

Want to live in a destroyed neighborhood? Fine, then call in the D8 cats and get er done.

“... even when the shooting was justified...” Apparently that will NEVER be the case moving into the future. So, knowing what’s been occuring for weeks now, how crazy would it be for this LEO to shoot the perp without any reason? Unarmed does NOT mean un-dangerous. But, these guys are toast no matter what now.

Probably most were Hispanic. Race War is coming, but it won't be blacks and whites, it will be blacks and Hispanics.

Trust me. The white punks are way more evil than the local blacks. It isn’t even close.

The problem is that a lot of blacks are still ok with the deed and it makes everybody try to focus their anger on them instead of the ANTIFA white commies.

Cops are always going to be condemned as wrong from now on, no matter what. No shooting will be considered justified when the perp is black and the cop white (when it’s a black cop, the media NEVER tells you that and leads you to think it’s a white cop.)

Good, white cops will go work in the suburbs or places where they have the support of the chief and the politicians. Cities don’t want them anyway, and are now pushing to hire “more” black and brown cops. Problem is, they won’t find a whole lot of black men who are physically qualified, off drugs, have an IQ over 89 and haven’t committed enough felonies to be behind bars. So the departments will hire unqualified ones and the cities will turn into mogadishu.

BLM and Antifa have been waiting for an incident to create a big national protest during this election year, They found it in the George Floyd event.

My question is if the Floyd event had not happened, would this shooting have been good enough to create the extended national protests that we just witnessed over the past few weeks?

For more reasons than you know, the Wendy’s founder is likely very saddened. IMO, the biggest reason is that the current CEO chose to pay corporate money for political gain to attempt to buy protection. A large franchise owner had paid his own money to support Trump so the corporate CEO went the other way. Guess that money didn’t work out the way he thought it would.

Makes sense. It was the restaurants fault after all /s

Have you noticed when blacks murder each other it's called 'gun violence' - no one is responsible except the gun)

But when a cop kills a black person it's called murder.
