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.”

God...I can't imagine what happens if Biden wins, and he and democrats will have to be responsible for maintaining law and order or are things just going to magically be quiet all of the sudden?
 
I read the tweet by Wendy's grovelling about BLM and how they were going to donate $500,000 to various programs that would benefit blacks.

So how's that Danegeld strategy working for ya, Wendy's?

Oh it's going to haunt BLM and any of the legit conversations dealing with police reform(especially if they double down).

No, it won't. BLM came about because a racist black teen attacked a brown man and got shot in self defense. It then doubled down when a black criminal attacked a cop and got shot as a result. That BLM doesn't have a negative social connotation at this point is proof positive they will never lose favorability among the left, centrists, and RINOs. This country is too far gone.

I never asked this before but are blacks so important to the economy that everyone has to appease them? For example if you say I don’t want blacks my product anymore would the hit be very big?

Low income black communities tend to vote democratic, that's why.

That footage seems to show the police were in the right, but in the current climate I don't expect anyone in authority to back them up.

The cops have already been fired. The police chief has resigned. Atlanta PD is on the verge of a walkout and Keishe Bottoms and the AJC are about to ser rhe city alight like Sherman once did.

The rest of us Georgians dont care. Just keep it inside i285 fuckers.

Dude my house we got bullets for days, I would like to see the Atlanta fuckers try to get past the perimeter.
 
I have a feeling we're going to get bi-weekly stories like this all the way up until November. ActBlue's gonna need all the BLM donations it can grab to try and get Biden elected.

Well, the BLM monetary donations didn't seem to be working, so I guess they're taking donations in blood?

Oooh. Maybe the rioters will successfully burn down CNN this time! I mean if the cops walk off.
 
I'm sure the police officers' union will have an easy win against the city for unlawful dismissal of the officer, considering that this was obviously a justified shooting. He might not seek reinstatement as it could be impossible for him to do his job after having been dragged through the mud in the media and undermined by his own employer, so he might seek a settlement. High six figures, at least.

This shouldn't be compared to the George Floyd killing because that was obviously an act of murder, while this was obviously a justified shooting. It's just the timing of it that prompted his employer to fire him owing to political factors, acting prematurely to try and avert the possibility of riots in their city. And they failed.

They already consider Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown as being the same as Floyd. BLM doesn't care.
