Killing of Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta last night proves America’s system of policing is irrevocably broken. A 27-year-old falling asleep at a Wendy’s drive-through does not deserve death! And no, there is not even one excuse for it that should be tolerated by a civilized society.

Who gets so drunk you pass out in the drive through at Wendy’s? Maybe u should take a look at the video! He turned towards the cop to tase him! If he tased him and got his gun he would kill the cop! Instead of being out drinking why wasn’t he home with his young kids?

Too often the police are acting like Einsatzgruppen for the oligarchy.

The situation could have been handled differently if the lead APD Officer had decided hat it was best for a Grady Hospital Ambulance EMS Crew to engage Mr. Brooks from a medical perspective vs that from it being a police matter. The outcome would have been an a life saving one

Rayshard Brooks, drunk and passed out blocking Wendy's drive through, assaulted 2 police officers, stole one cop's taser, fled, then when the cop was getting close (6ft between both of them) fired the taser at the cop chasing him who was trying to arrest him.

Even if the guy stole a Taser ... they are not lethal ... why would you shoot him?

Go a step further. Falling asleep at Wendys shouldn't even require a call to police, let alone agreesove police action, let alone murder
