People in Atlanta were protesting the latest case of a preventable police death of a Black person as law enforcement released the controversial video footage from the fatal encounter with officers in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant on Friday night.
The Wendy’s location burned to the ground Saturday night as people demanded answers for the latest preventable police shooting of a Black man.
Cops said he grabbed one of their Tasers which is the supposed reason why Atlanta Police Officer Garrett Rolfe decided to fire the fatal shots into Brooks’ back despite the victim not posing any immediate threat to either of the two responding officers.
The police killing Friday night took place as the nation was protesting against the type of police violence that claimed the life of Brooks as well as George Floyd in Minneapolis and Breonna Taylor in Lousiville.
In all three cases, each of the victims of police violence did not pose an imminent sense of danger to the officers who have been trained on how to react to such situations.
