The Wendy's in Atlanta where a man who fell asleep in his car essentially received a death sentence by cops has been burned down, during a night of protest and civil disturbance.
burning down an innocent wendy's is not a "protest" #WendysLivesMatter
As TMZ reported all day Saturday, cops got a call that someone in line was sleeping and partially blocking the drive-thru. Cops arrived, and the situation escalated to where Brooks grabbed one of the officer's tasers and began running. As he ran he appeared to vaguely point the NON-LETHAL weapon behind him, and that's when Brooks was shot 3 times.
brooks, not the police, escalated the situation; a "non-lethal" weapon (in bold all-caps by the original author) can easily lead to a lethal (deadly to the officer) result and so justifies the officer using deadly force pre-eminently
A little perspective ... so in Minneapolis, a call over what at worst was passing a counterfeit bill turned to a brutal murder. And in Atlanta, sleeping in the car ended with death.
"brutal murder": this is yet to be determined...it is highly likely that the idiot floyd worked himself up with drugs and resisting arrest that he gave himself heart failure while under police custody, which is not "brutal" and not "murder"
Cities and counties can ban all sorts of police techniques, but until there is a cultural shift, built from the ground up in these departments, where de-escalation becomes the guiding light, this insane violence will continue.
the "insane violence" comes first from criminals/black people toward the police and will continue unless there is a "cultural shift", but that "cultural shift" is demanded by the author only of the police and not of criminals/black people
Brooks makes it clear ... he doesn't want trouble and agreed to leave his car behind and walk home. Rolfe clearly views that comment as a confession Brooks is unable to drive.
Eventually, Brooks takes the test and the officer tries to handcuff him, and that's when a struggle ensues.
Again, Brooks was able to grab one of the officer's tasers and run, so the officers knew a man accused of a non-violent misdemeanor was running away from them with a NON-LETHAL weapon, yet Brooks was shot 3 times.
