Protesters burn Atlanta Wendy’s where cops fatally shot Rayshard Brooks

[jstern]

Protesters set fire Saturday to the Atlanta Wendy’s where, the night before, a black suspect was shot dead as he fired at two white cops with a stolen police Taser.

Angry crowds protesting the racially charged shooting of Rayshard Brooks, a 27-year-old father of four from Atlanta, also shut down an interstate highway.

Crowds of several hundred had gathered outside the fast-food restaurant all day Saturday, but began breaking windows of the establishment after sunset, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Wendy's released their surveillance. Apparently the guy stole one of the cops tasers and shot it at one of the cops while running away which resulted in the suspect getting shot.

This Wendy's was black owned. And on June 6 Wendy's donated half a million dollars to support black communities. https://www.squaredealblog.com/homewendys/wendys-to-donate-500k-to-support-black-communities?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid-search&utm_campaign=social-justice&utm_content=2020-social-justice-get-the-facts&gclid=CjwKCAjwlZf3BRABEiwA8Q0qq4SGC6pt2Dykb6MrGuxU 7tkOP8oSBdftDvUcYFils_nGUcbL_-uPchoC-mAQAvD_BwE

Martin Luther King was a very high IQ individual, while this is being led by morons. All this is doing is turning off neutral whites off to the cause of BLM, leading them to vote for Trump. All this destruction for an intoxicated guy, who wrestle and punched a cop, stole their taser. Not a very sympathetic, innocent individual.

I read one comment that basically read like, "Omg, that poor man, that poor baby, he must of been so scared." That person can't think straight, a sort of tunnel vision of a fanboy, which can make such people feel like their on a mission from god when they burn down a building or something. To them that "poor baby" is the equivalent of an innocent little boy just minding his business.

[diamenz]

why burn the wendy's? just ruining more black single mothers' lives that worked there.

What was he getting handcuffed for? As far as I can tell, he's sort of tipsy and slept in his car in front of Wendy's. That's about it. Were they giving him a ride home or something?

Can you imagine if he would have just complied. He would be home with his family today.

But this thing that Blacks have about resisting arrest and running from the cops perplexes me. All you’ve done is increased the likelihood of it resulting in your death.

[Hey Yo]

Yep....... what if cop gets tased, goes down and suspect goes for the cop's firearm??

I can definitely see both sides of the argument here.

I didn't understand that either. The cop have been like "Call a friend or relative to come pick you up. Either that or you can spend the night in jail. You choose but you are not getting back in your car." Or even offer a ride home if cop is nice.

That is the rational peaceful outcome to this. It never should have escalated to resisting arrest, police chase, taser and shooting..

[senelcoolidge]

Why fight with cops and take one of their weapons..that's a recipe for death. This guy was an idiot. Had he not resisted he would be alive today. Had George Floyd returned those cigarettes he stole he would still be alive today. Just dumb decisions.

He fell asleep drunk in the drive thru. Not sure when the cops came up on him. He has obviously already moved his car when the video starts.

Let's not mix the GF case up with cases like these. Has there been video of him seriously resisting or fighting cops yet? GF may have been a scumbag but I don't think I've heard one person make an excuse for what the cop did to him, and the length of time he applied unnecessary force.

This topic IS just a case of darwinism in full display. Why they fired the cop so fast after he had a taser pointed at him idk other than fear of the irrational public. If this had been a white guy it probably even make regional headlines

You just shot yourself in the foot. Drunks are unpredictable and when they reach for your weapon, you kill them.

[dreamshake]

On Sunday police offered a $10,000 reward and published photos of what appeared to be a masked white woman being sought in connection with the fire.
Police said they were seeking those responsible for the blaze, including a woman who was “attempting to hide her identity”. The department posted photos on social media of what looked to be a young white woman wearing a black baseball cap and face mask, and a video clip filmed by a protester that appeared to show a woman encouraging the flames.

“Look at the white girl trying to burn down the Wendy’s,” the man recording the video can be heard saying. “This wasn’t us.”

Apparently a white woman burned down the Wendy’s.

The autopsy says the guy got shot twice in his back... which means he was trying to run away with the taser gun rather than shoot the cop with the taser

Obviously the cop was going for the kill rather than a bullet in a place that would subdue and disable rather than kill

Nobody does that. Cops or really anyone will shoot center of mass in a chaotic close combat situation. This is why cops have tasers in the first place to avoid this kind of situation. I get that we have cops that abuse their power but this is now turning into the tail end of the MeToo movement.

If a taser by definition is a non lethal weapon...

Dude, those kind of shots are only in movies. In these tense situations, it's almost impossible to hit a moving target, especially in the lower extremities.


Let's put blame back on the guy that got shot cause that's who should be blamed here. He shouldn't have resisted. He shouldn't have punched the officer. And he shouldn't have taken and fired the officer's taser back at the officer.

Had he not done these things, he would be alive today. Actions have consequences and sometimes these consequences can cost us our lives. He had a family. Why wasn't he thinking about them before he decided to try and run from the cops?

She looks like she's definitely trying to set a fire and needs to be arrested and sent to jail for a long time but she isn't the one who lit the place up. A kid in a black hoodie threw an incendiary device into Wendy's setting it on fire.

These are just young people being rebellious and acting out. I'm glad I was never like this. And the truth of the matter is that it begins in the home. A lot of these people have no respect in the home. They don't respect their parents for whatever reason whether they were absent parents or just bad parents in general. So if they don't have respect in the home, they will have even less on the streets.

.... lol

[Meticode]

I don't know if any of the employees did this or not, but if not...someone could've just done the human thing and went out there and see if he was okay. And if they noticed he was drunk see if they can get him to park the car and call a ride for him. I'm assuming that likely wouldn't happen and he might've just drove off intoxicated, but it's ashame if they didn't even try and just straight up called the police.

[Phong]

Being drunk in public isn't worthy of being arrested. They should have helped dude home. Cops are supposed to be here to help people. He drove under the influence so they had to arrest him. He's the one who escalated the situation by fighting them.

[Patrick Chewing]

Also, helping people go home when they're drunk is useless. It doesn't stop them from driving drunk again and possibly killing themselves or someone else. DUI is one of the more serious offenses in this country because of that very fact that plenty of innocent people are killed yearly by drunk drivers.

So punishment in jail or in prison is an effective way at hopefully teaching these people how serious of an offense this is. The police's job is not to help that guy get home safe. The police's job is to make sure I get home safe and not be killed by a drunk driver.

[Meticode]

He drove under the influence so they had to arrest him. He's the one who escalated the situation by fighting them.

No doubt, but more and more police don't seem to have a community aspect to them anymore. It's the "us" vs. "them" mentality. Unlike what it used to be in a lot of communities were it was just "us" and we helped each other.

I remember back in the early 90s when I lived in the ghetto in Cincinnati I'd spent my summer off from school at my uncle's house over the Ohio River in Covington. KY. One summer we got in trouble for throwing water balloons at property. We weren't and didn't damage anything. Didn't throw them at people, but it was my uncle and I and 2 girls. A cop stops us and instead of taking us home to our parents he had my uncle and I stand in front of his car and had the girls throw the rest of the water balloons at us and followed us home until we went into the front door.

[RRR3]

He was driving... did you forget?
Oh jeez, brain went off for a second there. Touché. I still maintain the cops should have handled it better, but yes, he should have been punished.

I don't know if any of the employees did this or not, but if not...someone could've just done the human thing and went out there and see if he was okay. And if they noticed he was drunk see if they can get him to park the car and call a ride for him. I'm assuming that likely wouldn't happen and he might've just drove off intoxicated, but it's ashame if they didn't even try and just straight up called the police.

Maybe they saw he was black and didn't want to chance doing anything that would make them a periah.

[RRR3]

Ahhh so there it is, folks. This is what you people really want. What you really want is to change the laws in this country. Just come out and say that instead of hiding it under the "deescalate" scenario since that scenario clearly didn't apply here.
I do indeed want many laws changed in this country, but I'm pretty sure you do as well, so this is an odd stance. I forgot that he was driving, so he definitely should have been punished in some fashion, but I would still argue the cops should have taken him home and confiscated his car and maybe his license. Drunk driving is a serious offense, like you said. Obviously, I would want Brooks to have a chance to get his car and license back, but you shouldn't be able to get away with drunk driving scot free.

[Patrick Chewing]

You keep saying that, but the cops aren't in the business of calling Uber's or relatives to come pick somebody up cause they're drunk.

If you're passionate about this, create a movement to change the law. Everyone that gets pulled over for driving drunk the first time gets a free pass, but must be picked up by someone and their car must get towed.

If he hadn't decided assaulting the officer and taking his weapon after commiting an obvious crime was a good idea he would of got the normal punishment for DUI's

[dreamshake]

No doubt, but more and more police don't seem to have a community aspect to them anymore. It's the "us" vs. "them" mentality. Unlike what it used to be in a lot of communities were it was just "us" and we helped each other.

I remember back in the early 90s when I lived in the ghetto in Cincinnati I'd spent my summer off from school at my uncle's house over the Ohio River in Covington. KY. One summer we got in trouble for throwing water balloons at property. We weren't and didn't damage anything. Didn't throw them at people, but it was my uncle and I and 2 girls. A cop stops us and instead of taking us home to our parents he had my uncle and I stand in front of his car and had the girls throw the rest of the water balloons at us and followed us home until we went into the front door.

Maybe the cops wanted a free car wash? :roll:

[RRR3]

I'm unwilling to watch videos of people getting murdered, but I'll take your word that this is what happened. Was he trying to tase the cops? That's a really insane decision for to grab the taser...Again, though, the cops should have been able to disarm and subdue him without using guns. They are trained in such matters.

[Meticode]

Wasn't a very good one, It was like 10 water balloons that were left.

Thousands of people get pulled over and arrested for DUI daily and get released a few hours later. DUI arrests are usually comedic in nature and usually the driver and police are at ease. Why this guy ran is beyond me.

He somehow overpowered both of them grabbed the taser he was being tased with. Looked like he may have went to tase or did tase the guy he got the taser from and the guy let go. The other guy then shot him with the taser and he ran away, then pointed the taser backwards while running which the shots came immediately after.

[Shogon]

That's a really insane decision for to grab the taser...Again, though, the cops should have been able to disarm and subdue him without using guns. They are trained in such matters.

The cops and him had a very cordial conversation for some time, and then they gave him the breathalyzer... they confirmed that he was drunk, decided to arrest him, his entire demeanor changed immediately when they started cuffing him, he resisted to the point they were wrestling on the ground... he broke free, grabbed a taser from the cop after I think another cop deployed another taser and the guy started running away from the cops. As he was doing so, he pointed the taser behind him and was making a halfhearted effort to shoot one of the cops with a taser. At that point they opened fire on him with their guns or one of them did...

And yes, the video begins with him being drunk in a drive thru wendy's completely passed out with his car half hanging out of the drive thru lane.

Now I think it's over the top with two cops present for them to shoot him over a taser, BUT... the argument COULD be made that had he hit the taser shot and immobilized one cop, he could have potentially then run back and grabbed that cop's gun and killed them both. I think shooting him as quickly as he was shot was over the top, but he invited everything that came his way. He invited all of it. It wasn't racism.

[RRR3]

I didn't say it was racism. Brooks definitely acted like a jackass and was behaving dangerously. But they shouldn't have shot him.

Both probably tase him if the other still had his taser.

They keyboard lawyers haven't mentioned what the cops should have done after he ran away from them. Chase him down and try to arrest him again? Remember, their tasers can't be used again at this point. He was clearly a bigger guy and was strong enough to overpower these guys. How do you stop him after he beat you up, and fired a taser at you?

He's a law abiding citizen, surely he'd submit and follow all instructions given to him.

[bladefd]

Dude, those kind of shots are only in movies. In these tense situations, it's almost impossible to hit a moving target, especially in the lower extremities.


Let's put blame back on the guy that got shot cause that's who should be blamed here. He shouldn't have resisted. He shouldn't have punched the officer. And he shouldn't have taken and fired the officer's taser back at the officer.

Had he not done these things, he would be alive today. Actions have consequences and sometimes these consequences can cost us our lives. He had a family. Why wasn't he thinking about them before he decided to try and run from the cops?

Taser has cartridges you have to change. Brooks with the taser most likely had maybe 2 shocks on limited range at the cop. Even if Brooks somehow hit the cop with taser, the cop is going to live through it. Cops are in tip-top shape and during training they have taken taser shot. They know how taser shot feels like because they went through it. There were also couple cops there so it wasn't like Brooks could have taken both down with 1 taser gun. It would have been a longer chase for sure but the guy didn't need to die. He would have just gotten a longer sentence on top of the dui and resisting arrest rather than death.

If Brooks took the gun then I would say kill the guy on the spot. Taser I don't agree with kill.

You are right about the subdue shot comment. Tough to precisely target a moving target in exact spot. I won't press that further.

[Draz]

I think EVERYONE takes an L here.

Guy that’s dead - Shouldn’t have entered the vehicle to drive knowing he’s drunk, shouldn’t have grabbed the officers taser, shouldn’t have ran

Cops - Can’t subdue an unarmed drunk man, requires more training because the guy consciously made a decision not to drive after he fell asleep the first time. They could have solved this situation better.

BLM - Burning down an establishment that employs black people now they’re out of jobs during this pandemic like they’ll have the skills and priority to be employed after this

[bladefd]

First, tasers are considered less-lethal weapons, not non-lethal.

Second, tasers can leave you incapacitated and at the mercy of the perp. He can steal your gun and kill you or smash your head in while you're out.

There were 2 cops there minimum. If the guy succeeds in taser'ing the cop then the other cop could have still been there for the kill...

[Phong]

There were 2 cops there minimum. If the guy succeeds in taser'ing the cop then the other cop could have still been there for the kill... He already managed to overpower 2 cops at once. With only one left who knows what he could have done. Better deal with the threat than risking your life tussling with the suspect.

[Patrick Chewing]

If a taser doesn't take a big guy like this down, then what? Just keep chasing him around till he gets tired? Can't shoot him or use excessive force on him cause everyone is up in arms about that. What do you do? Just let him go?

Chase him. Get more cops out there. Get a helicopter out there. Put an APB on him. A drunk guy ain't going very far on foot. He didn't have extra cartridges on taser so taser was useless after 1 shot.

All they needed to do was disarm him and get him in the back of the police car.

You forget, as people often do, that you cant just draw up the perfect cop and set that as the criteria, then expect to fill enough positions to sufficiently police cities with millions of residents.

Cops already have to meet certain standards of credit, criminal history, mental evaluation etc. to safeguard against potential corruption. On top of that you want only olympic wrestlers as well?

Not every rocket scientist body builder is applying to be a police officer. There are a certain number of positions that have to be filled, and you can only fill them with the people who are applying.

It'd be ideal to fill every opening with the 'perfect cop' but it isnt reality. Cops are a collection of flawed human beings, just like any other profession.

You are onto something with these realistic obstacles. The problem is we need to re-evaluate law enforcement and the true value it has on our society. Law and order is what modern civilization is built upon. Protecting that should be one of the most respected and well compensated positions such as a doctor or attorney. We need a paradigm shift in our society that reflects that where the best, the strongest, the brightest want to seek out a career in law enforcement and are properly compensated for it.

Call in more cops to chase the bastard. You don't kill him because he might get away. He was drunk and unarmed once the taser gun rendered useless after firing single cartridge. He is not getting far with an APB. Cops had his car and house address.
