Protests across the United States in response to the death of George Floyd and Rayshard Brooks are the culmination of years of police brutality, according to the New Republic staff writer Osita Nwanevu.

Protests continue across the US after black man Rayshard Brooks was shot dead by Atlanta police at the weekend when he resisted arrested and allegedly attempted to fire at the officers with a taser stun gun. Mr Nwanevu told Sky News “protests against what happened to Rayshard Brooks are going to look like a continuation of what we’ve already been seeing these past few weeks”.

“The Floyd situation I think has created new energy for reform conversations that were already going on,” he said. “I think the one change now is you also have the movement that is fundamentally interested in transforming or reworking law enforcement in conception in this country. “Whether that conversation develops into something that lasts beyond the next couple of weeks and is carried into the political future I think remains to be seen.

Why why the cops in US kills a civilian on minor scuffle, without death sentence by a competent court? And why cops shoot a black in chest to kill rather than in legs Or not let them run Culprits once identified in body camera can be arrested any time from their home.

Coroner says Atlanta shooting of Rayshard Brooks a homicideThe death of Rayshard Brooks, a black man killed by a white police officer in Atlanta, was a homicide caused by gunshot wounds to the back, the Fulton County Medical Examiner's office says | Didn't he start punching the Police officers in the face, throwing them to the ground, then took their taser, then tried to shoot them with it? Not interested in facts? Imagine my shock. See your media endlessly incite. Behaving like he did how can anyone be surprised he got shot. Sounds more like suicide by cop. A wasted attempt at martyrdom.
