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.”

unlike Floyd, this was justified but i doubt the public will care.

lol they burned down the place!? what did the people at the fast food joint do to deserve that!?

More hardworking black people without jobs now to pay bills. FUCK THESE FOOLS. CURSE THEM TO HELL. EFFING UNEDUCATED DIPSHITS.

According to my sources between APD and Fulton County PD They've lost over 30 Officers since last week. 17 from APD alone. I'm not sure on deKalb yet (the other County that makes up Atlanta.) To put this in perspective APD isn't like NYPD. They only have 1700 Officers when at full compliment. Which they never are. I think they are somewhere around 13-1400 right now at best. 17 is a noticeable loss. More than they lose quarterly to retirement. And according to my friend, it's just the beginning.

Oh and the Fulton County DA who is publicly branding them as Murderers? He's under Federal Investigation for embezzling $200,000 in anti-crime program money. Gotta love the A T L.

They have unions right? What the fuck are they doing? Every other union goes on strike, just say "fuck it, not doing it anymore, we'll use the union money to fund a week long strike, all of you take a week off and take your families out of town". Mayor has one choice left, send in the NG and pray they don't get trigger happy, or watch not only their city burn, but the areas they think are safe are smashed up as well.

As I understand it, most areas have laws preventing the police from going on strike.

As a bonus Howard is scrambling to save his re-election campaign since he’s got a run off in August. This is all grandstanding as distraction.

 

[Snekposter]

Areas also have agreements with the police unions to give them full, lengthy investigations (while suspended with pay, natch) before firing officers, @Sam Losco There's an unwritten social contract between police and localities that for better or for worse (mostly worse IMO) that protects cops so long as they show up on time and go on patrols, and put themselves in danger. Its why places like Baltimore and other inner cities are so shit: enforcing law and order frequently takes violent, coercive force that places one in great danger, and those places don't protect cops when a black dude with a rap sheet longer than his forearm gets shot. The for worse part comes into play when undeniable bad seeds get to be passed around and around because they're untouchable thanks to them, or just straight-up not prosecuted for the bad shit they do, so long as it serves someone's interests.

Floyd was justified. He was driving under the influence and resisted arrest. The county medical examiner, who has no reason to lie for some city cop, found no evidence of asphyxiation. He was complaining that he "couldn't breave, yo" while he was standing next to the car. He overdosed on the meth (upper,) fentanyl (downer,) and weed (synergistic) in his system. Had he complied, they probably would've been able to save the violent felon's life.

That sounds like Atlanta.

Its Kanye. He evens dresses the part.

Kanye is a fucking nutter with fairly severe BPD .He barely has the presence of mind to make a sandwich on some days, let alone finance and instigate a race riot.

So here's some more interesting info on Rayshard Brooks. If you look him up in the Clayton County GA court record system, you get a whole pile of cases, some of which were not included in the previously discussed rap sheet. The most interesting of these is case 2016CR01606 09 (archive) which shows that Rayshard received a one year suspended sentence and three years probation in August 2016 for some sort of credit card fraud, and then:

I'm no lawyer, but that looks like Rayshard fucked up his probation somehow in 2018 and had an arrest warrant issued, he got picked up on that warrant in January, 2020, and then he begged and pleaded well enough in his probation revocation hearing to not get tossed back in jail. A DUI three months after getting yet another chance from the court though? That could have been enough to get him put back in jail to serve his original one year suspended sentence.

Interesting that I've seen exactly zero "journalists" do the minimal amount of research needed to find this very relevant info.

 

[KeepHopeAlive]

The county medical examiner, who has no reason to lie for some city cop,

Independently of Floyd, I think it's cute you think an M.E. can't be corrupted/compelled/coerced, especially to push a Narrative in any year, but particularly an election year.

The sad thing is if he hadn't melted down and started assaulting cops and such, they probably would have worked with him so that the DUI didn't trigger a probation violation. He was right on the border of legal intoxication. He wasn't in an actual moving vehicle when they found him. Yeah he was a public nuisance, but through the grace of god he hadn't hurt himself or anybody. They had to bring him in, because no way could they leave him out there with his car in that state. But the dude at that point wasn't giving anybody a hard time. Which really does count for a lot in their world. They probably would have let him sleep it off in the holding cell. Written him a ticket for public intoxication and been done with it. I mean dude was 2 months from being clear of probation altogether.

 

[pwnest injun]

One thing I've noticed is when things really started getting crazy in the US, 2014, was the same year of the Russian invasion of Crimea and renewed Cold War like tensions between the US and Russia and in turn China.

Is that a coincidence?

You mean the invasion where the 86% of the Crimean population that's ethnically Russian voted to rejoin the Russian Federation about 50 years after the territory was gifted to Ukraine? The invasion where not a single shot was fired and 0 people died?

 

[wry wrangler]

Oh and the Fulton County DA who is publicly branding them as Murderers? He's under Federal Investigation for embezzling $200,000 in anti-crime program money. Gotta love the A T L.

He's also facing multiple accusations of sexual harassment, including at least one lawsuit, as well as ethics violations.

A longtime paralegal and records supervisor on Monday sued her former boss, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard, alleging 15 years of “overt, manipulative and aggressive sexual misconduct and harassment.”

It's the latest in a string of allegations from women who once worked for the the veteran prosecutor.

Howard has also been accused of 12 public disclosure violations by the state ethics commission. The decision followed reporting by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Channel 2 Action News on discrepancies between personal financial disclosures Howard filed with the state and tax filings submitted to the IRS by a nonprofit he heads.

I'm sure this shooting incident has him relieved, at least for a little while.

The math here is a bit confusing. It looks like in this case, his probation started in August 2016, and a warrant was issued in December 2018. That seems to work out to around 8 months left, which I guess started in February 2020, after he got picked up on the warrant? But then throw in the previous probation for the false imprisonment charge in 2014 which was supposedly 6 years, and I'm completely confused about how much he has left.

Either way though, it does help explain his out of proportion response to the DUI stop.

 

[Mr. Zed da Robot Poon Fed]

But of course from the start they hated "all lives matter" as a response even though if "black lives matter" means "blacks lives matter too" then "all lives matter" basically means the exact same thing and shouldn't upset people so much, shouldn't it have been "all lives matter" from the start? Why is it specifically "black lives matter"?

Both "all lives matter" and "black lives matter" are dumb anyway because neither of them are true. A more accurate phrase would be "some lives matter" or "no lives matter".

This is part of the problem with the left today is what they say is not what they mean, feminists for example talk about "equality" but what they really mean is female domination, do they even actually bother to use the word "equality" anymore?

Exactly. What they claim they want isn't what they want at all.

Look at the MeToo movement. "Believe all women" was one of their main slogans. Then, the whole Joe Biden thing came along and all of that just got thrown away. Justice was never an aim for #MeToo. It was about power.

#MeToo Brought Down 201 Powerful Men. Nearly Half of Their Replacements Are Women.

https://web.archive.org/web/20200616032606/https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/10/23/us/metoo-replacements.html

The BlackLivesMatter tag is also misleading. The claim is that "black lives matter", but based on the circumstances and the ignorance of the group, it means "black lives matter when people want them to matter".

Spoiler: Thomas Sowell Quote

In the end, though, as Thomas Sowell said:

"What [they were] devoted to was the vision, not flesh and blood people. A flesh and blood people were a complication on the road to realizing the vision. And as it turned out, if you had to kill a few million of those, that was just so much too bad. And of course we've seen Hitler, Mao and others with this same approach."

Or #DefundThePolice. If people didn't actually want the police defunded, why is the hashtag called "Defund The Police"? I would assume it's because people got so emotional that they really wanted the police defunded/abolished, and after people realized how r.etarded and unrealistic that idea is, some of them changed their mind about it and then try to ridicule those who think they want to defund the police.

Zero left. He’s now in the domain name system for all eternity.

Which regardless still pissed off the west who slapped Russia with sanctions making Russia pretty salty and renewing tensions between east and west.

This happened when Obama was in office remember, I'm not saying it isn't bullshit, I'm just stating the facts.

Meanwhile Russia fought an actual war with Georgia in 2008 and Dubya didn't seem to give a shit, then to go even further back Clinton bombed Kosovo in 1999 which pissed Russia off leading to Putin being elected and the start of the situation we find ourselves in now.

Lesson being Democrats don't handle the Russians well at all, but even though Obama is gone and it's now Trump, the tensions renewed in 2014 didn't go away, especially when you factor in the fact that Trump has pushed back against Russia's best buddies, China.

It makes you wonder how much of the situation in 1960s America was due to Cold War era subversion and if history hasn't been repeating itself.

It makes you wonder how much of the situation in 1960s America was due to Cold War era subversion and if history hasn't been repeating itself.

It's been overstated historically and now about communist influence in the Civil Rights movement and in student movements and anti-Vietnam protests, but it was absolutely a thing. Although it wasn't all Soviet commies since there were tons of Maoists, Stalinists, Trotskyists, and other anti-USSR communists, many of whom hated each other. Some of these groups are still around, like the Revolutionary Communist Party of Chairman Bob (which descends from the SDS and split from the group which became the Weathermen) who have an Antifa front group called Refuse Fascism.

The biggest difference between then and today is the FBI was on top of this shit with COINTELPRO and all sorts of infiltration of these groups, communist or not. Like take a professor I had in college, he told me his phD advisor (who was never an active member of any communist group although he did protest Vietnam) had a colossal file on him the FBI assembled because he took trips to the USSR for academic research. The FBI of today is utterly inept at best and actively undermining the country at worst considering how much time and resources they devoted to the bullshit behind the Mueller Report and Trump-Ukraine.

That's why they (and the CIA) haven't done a thing about China when they spend hundreds of millions (probably more) to influence our media and at times have them literally re-broadcast their propaganda, or why their response to the Confucius Institutes (which are CCP propaganda bases on university campuses which coordinate spying on Chinese citizens as well as helping actual Chinese spies) has been delayed and lukewarm at best. Or how there's Chinese spies working as aides for prominent politicians like Dianne Feinstein.

If any one of these things happened in the Cold War, it would've been a national scandal and there'd be dozens of people resigning in utter disgrace and probably some Americans going to jail. But today the media doesn't report on it and when they do they try and cover it up. There was never a time the USSR had as much influence in American society as the PRC has in society today. There is no doubt there are CCP agents at every level, from the newsrooms of major media outlets to the offices of politicians to people on the street, coordinating and inflaming the situation.

I don't think we have a chance against China, since even a simple investigation of Chinese spying would get whatever politician doing it would be called the next McCarthy (and worse, a xenophobic RACIST) even if he wouldn't go a fraction as far as McCarthy. And we all know how pop culture/pop history has ensured McCarthy is known as one of the most anti-American and evil politicians ever even if the majority of what he did was necessary since there literally were communists working for Russia in Hollywood (and guess who helped make sure McCarthy gained that reputation as revenge).

tl;dr shit's fucked, learn Chinese

No. Trust me. The Chinese aren't that sophisticated. They are trying to replicate a communist version of the United States. It won't work....it won't even work cause the Chinese aren't a multi diverse freedom loving country...they're multiple sections of ONE TRIBE. And the Westernized cities of Macao and Hong Kong loathe them for it.

I would need to look at country by country trade numbers on a quarterly basis but lets assume an apocalyptical event shut down trade and communication between each continent. The country with the largest self sustaining *independent* economy with large tracts of farms and foodstuffs, even meat and dairy farms would be the countries to survive. and China doesn't have enough farmland to feed their people.
They also enacted a Mao population control many years ago. If they'd done the opposite and employed obligatory military training to all 18 year olds, then they could have been a military force. They'd have people to work the farms that they ignored in order to build factories for large US corporations.

But they did not take this route. What did they do? Tried to imitate the United States. I guarantee you China has greatly underestimated the US thinking we're weak due to striving for a strong stable economy and social progressive justice. There's much that the US hides and hides superbly well. It'll take more than making genetic cat puppies and splicing corona and hanta viruses to defeat the US.

China can only dominate if there is no Russia or United States. And those two countries would never roll over and just let China run over them.
