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.

You “don’t know” if killing him was justified given that he was driving drunk? What country do you think this is?!

It was still the policeman’s responsibility to de-escalate the situation. There are many ways of doing that short of lethal force.

He was not drunk and belligerent; he was drunk and asleep! What black man in America would not be panicked at this point when confronted by police arrest? He tried to run, which is wrong but understandable now. He hadn’t hurt anyone; he’d fallen asleep at a Wendy’s drive-through!

I don’t know what your politics are, but I don’t understand why you are defending the police action here. No American regardless of our politics should be OK with this.

Policies which allow police to use whatever force is necessary to make an arrest. Nobody should Monday morning the officer who felt that he needed to use his service weapon. A taser is a weapon and the suspect a clear and present danger to the officer when he turned and fired it

We don’t live in a country where police get to do whatever they want to do & we don’t get to question it. They work for us. We pay their salaries with our tax $. The man fell asleep at Wendy’s, for God’s sake! He was not running away from the scene of a crime. And he had no gun.
