Rayshard Brooks, 27, who had fallen asleep in his vehicle, failed a sobriety test, officials said. He was shot after a struggle over a Taser he grabbed from an officer, the authorities said.

An Atlanta man died after being shot by the police who found him asleep at a Wendy’s drive-through on Friday night, the authorities said.
The man, who was identified as Rayshard Brooks, 27, of Atlanta, had fallen asleep in his vehicle, causing other customers to drive around him, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a statement.
Mr. Brooks struggled with the police officers after he failed a sobriety test, the authorities said. As he was being arrested, he resisted and witnesses reported that Mr. Brooks grabbed and was in possession of a Taser that had been deployed by the police.
He was shot during the struggle, the bureau said, though a bystander’s video shared on social media showed the struggle between Mr. Brooks and officers, and appeared to show him running away when the police opened fire.
Mr. Brooks was taken to a hospital where he died after surgery. One officer was treated for an injury during the episode and was later released.
The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office said it was conducting its own investigation into the shooting, separate from the bureau’s.
“Our thoughts and our sympathies are extended to the family of Rayshard Brooks as we must not forget that this investigation is centered upon a loss of life,” the district attorney, Paul L. Howard Jr., said in a statement.
State and local officials spoke out about the shooting.
The Rev. James Woodall, the state president of the N.A.A.C.P., said on Saturday of Mr. Brooks, “there was nothing that he did that was deserving of death.”
“Our overall message is that we are done dying,” the reverend said. “We are done waking up at 1 or 2 in the morning to another murder or yet another case of police brutality.”
Former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said on Twitter that the killing of Mr. Brooks “demands we severely restrict the use of deadly force.” She added, “sleeping in a drive-thru must not end in death.”

To be honest I don't think it matters to the woke crowd whether or not a shooting is "justified" or that the cops had increasingly limited options. It doesn't matter how much the black man is waving the gun around, unless he starts shooting they see it as "unjustified'.

I don't think he was deserving of death since he didn't have a lethal weapon, but it very well could have been he was trying to grab a handgun and got a taser instead.

I remember seeing a sign at a protest for minorities who were "unjustifiably" killed, one of the names on the list was that dude who ran over a bunch of people in his car then got out and started stabbing people then was shot by a cop.
 
I wonder if the guy thought he had grabbed the cop's gun. I don't think I've ever seen someone aiming a taser back at someone. Should've just kept running.

Guarantee the media ignores this one because it's pretty black and white.

These are exactly the kinds of people they march for. Nothing about Black Lies Matter has changed since they marched for Mike Brown. They still believe he had his hands up.

The chief of police is resigning behind this completely justifiable shooting. Unbelievable.

And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which Im dying are the best I ever had
I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
clown world, clown world.

The media seems to be spinning it as just "POLICE SHOOT BLACKMAN!"
 
I bet the media is hoping really hard this guy isn't a drug-addicted felon who threatened to shoot a fetus in the womb. You know, like the last guy.

Why does the option of 'you let him get away, impound his car, wait for him to reclaim it then arrest him' never seem to arise in cops brains?

I'd like to meet a cop with the superhumanly quick wit necessary to think all that stuff in the split-second after the runner pointed a weapon at them.

Eh, they were at first. Then the video got released, and the spineless mayor had to backtrack. Though, predictably, she still wants the officer fired despite being within his rights,

The media was forced to be somewhat accurate...

But, they will have to follow through cause they started the narrative...

Nothing will happen to the cop(nor should).

The media may try to transition the conversation into 'when can a cop use deadly force?'

I will laugh if their solution is 'why can't they shoot at the legs?'

Also, they couldn't let the guy just run away. He had a taser and violently resisted arrest. He needed to be subdued immediately because he was a potential danger to others...
 
Get fucked nigger, I'm never going to get tired of this. Next time don't attack a cop with a fucking taser while trying to run away if want to us to feel any pity for you.
