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.”

Speaking of CNN, they’re currently shaming Trump for not saying anything about the shooting and claiming he’s driving a wedge between the country because of it.

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?

they'll probably try and stop their pets from rioting, but many have speculated that either the monster is out of control or is being controlled by a foreign agent (China).

If Biden does win, the media will just ignore all the "peaceful protests". Anything Biden does will be spun into the best thing ever. Any controversy will be spun as a right wing conspiracy. There's tons of people, on the left, who believe Obama had a spotless 8 years.

They have tried to get people to celebrate Obama's birthday today, just to try to bury Trump's birthday.

But it's totally not a cult. Nope. No way, no how.
 
It’s looking like the cop who shot this black man at Wendy’s will probably be arrested for murder next week. Or manslaughter. I’m calling it.

They can try, but there's enough evidence to prove his innocence.

Only neoliberal boomers and upper class woketards mostly still love that nigger. The Bernie Bros and stupidpol types hate Obama and they are not going away. Look at what the democrats are demanding and their pets on the ground. There is a clear disconnect and they even attacked CNN itself. Their pets are out of control and its growing, and CNN is fanning the flames, oblivious that they are signing their own death warrant. Biden will be a Buchanan style president if he wins and 2024 will be a repeat of 1860 as the country is getting more and more divided. The income inequality grew under Obama and its gonna get bigger under Biden.
 
I cant believe that this innocent black man that was driving blackout drunk to the point of passing out in the wendies drive through, got in a fight with the cops, and stole a cops tazer was shot just because he's black.

This illustrates exactly the sort of situation that will get some idiot social worker killed if any city actually replaces cops with social workers. The cops knew this guy was going to pull some shit, and even they weren't fully prepared for it. There are plenty of idiots out there who will watch that video and think, "Wow, he was so nice!" Most violent people can be nice for a minute.

Any city that actually goes through with it will be begging for police backup when the first public safety worker finds out dealing with these kinds of situations isn't as easy as just saying the magic words of de-escalation. To be honest there are enough situations where it shouldn't be just the police dealing with them, but these hypothetical new social workers need to support and be supported by the police, not supplant them altogether.
 
Just so I'm not confused on anything;

- black guy was driving while drunk
- was so inebriated he fell asleep in a drive-thru
- cops show up, ask him to move the car
- while talking to him, couldn't be more cordial
- attempt to arrest him
- he resists
- he starts throwing punches
- he wrestles a weapon away from cops
- while fleeing, he attempts to use said weapon on the cops
- cops respond by shooting him
- not only was the cop fired
- the DA is now pushing to charge him with murder

What the ever loving fuck is going on here?

Black lives matter SO MUCH that everyone else's life doesn't matter.

The Chief of Police resigned as well.

We can probably expect a good number of officers to resign soon enough, too. Policemen are getting pretty tired of being thrown under the bus like that.

This is bullshit. Cops should all fucking quit and let the world collapse. They don't deserve this.

Oooh. Maybe the rioters will successfully burn down CNN this time! I mean if the cops walk off.

The "Peaceful " Rioters apparently kicked 7 kinds of crap out of the CNN reporter and Camera crew that showed up at the burning Wendy's. "No it's okay! We're CNN!" WHAM! I'm hoping they make another stab at burning down the CNN Center if the weasther clears up.

Evidence? In a Show Trial? Damn that is optimistic.

I'm expecting a normal trial. A show trial would be a disaster. If Trump is still President, I expect him to pardon him if they throw the book and kitchen sink at the cop.
