Atlanta police shooting death of Rayshard Brooks roils city
Atlanta Journal Constitution ^ | June 13, 2020 | J. Scott Trubey, Vanessa McCray, and Arielle Kass

Atlanta police shot and killed a black man late Friday night following a struggle outside a Wendy’s restaurant on the city’s southside, in an incident that inflamed tensions over police use of force and racial injustice that have roiled Atlanta and cities across the nation since the Memorial Day death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis.

Video of the shooting of 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks, who had allegedly fallen asleep in his car and blocked the restaurant’s drive-through, went viral across social media. Protesters marching for a third weekend in Atlanta for justice for Floyd and other black men and women killed by police quickly demanded a full investigation Saturday of the Brooks shooting, and the Georgia NAACP called for the termination of Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields.

“.at this point I’d rather have the Latinos become the majority..”

A friend of mine was pulled out of retirement to retool a factory in CA last year. 85% latino workers and he said they were the hardest workers he has ever seen in his 40 years

"No, most people have HAD IT with the cops being over the top"

I agree with you. Though this case shooting a taser at a cop was stupid.

Daniel Shaver killing is a perfect example of trigger happy cops. Where Daniel was at a hotel and drunk. Cop asked him to crawl toward him. Daniel reached to pick up his pants because they where falling the cop shot him. The cop that shot him got off "administratively cleared" even know he had a previous case charged with excessive force

“No the cops with their over the top behavior are wrecking the rule of law”

Maybe the cops saw this perps prior arrest record when they ran his plates.. lets see what it says. Maybe he had prior for attempted murder of LEO’s.

“Don’t be so quick to support trigger-happy cops who these days immediately feel the right to use deadly force — and routinely murder people’s dogs just for barking”

Reading comprehension problems?

“How do you figure an unarmed person running away should be shot to death? Just because of the bruised ego of probably a female cop who had their Taser taken away from them by a drunk? “

Chill..unless unless you or other citizens I want to start monitoring the streets and deal with someone like this Criminal who is probably high on drugs and unpredictable I say let the police do the best they can there’s no way they could have known if it was a taser a gun another weapon and they had a few seconds to make a decision

I have many Mexican friends/acquaintances who have said “Los Negros son Flojos” on numerous occasions.

That means they think most blacks are lazy. Seeing how hard these Mexican guys and women work, their angst is understandable. Many Mexicans dislike American Blacks. And after the recent riots, they dislike them more.

The Mexicans/Latinos will become the dominant race in the US in the future. The future race wars will be between them and the blacks. The Asians and whites will be the minority elites.

If whites want to stay a majority they should have more kids. It’s never too late and a lot of fun.
