US police chief resigns after black man 'sleeping in car' fatally shot

The Wendy's restaurant burns.A crowd of demonstrators gathered today outside the Atlanta restaurant where Brooks was shot.

Even though Mr Brooks struggled with officers, Mr Griggs said, "they could have used nonlethal force to take him down".He said their findings show that Mr Brooks tried to fight off two officers when they tried to arrest him and at one point managed to take a Taser away from one of them. Atlanta Deputy Police Chief Timothy Peek told reporters late yesterday that both officers deployed their Tasers in an attempt to subdue the suspect but were unable to "stop the aggression of the fight".

Mr Reynolds said his agents will turn over results of their investigation to Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard, whose office will decide whether criminal charges are warranted against either of the officers.

Regardless, the guy was asleep DUI then running away after resisting arrest. Does that warrant the death penalty?

Why the patently false headline? He was passed out drunk in his car blocking the drive thru.

Police provided with firearms for a reason? To protect themselves and members of the public. Point a taser at a police officer. Getting yourself shot is a reasonable outcome

These people have used the shooting as an excuse to protest. It really not about the shooting at all

Yip... That headlines not decieving at all..... 🙄

How about reporting it properly?

Soon the criminals will occupy the empty police stations

9news your headline was misleading he wasn’t sleeping in his car at the time of his death. No wonder people are pissed of for the way things are reported

9 news your reporting is disgusting!! We see you 🤨

the reason why ch 9 is now totally crap is because fairfax 'journalist's ' now write their copy

Grabs a Taser from officer is what's missing in headline

He was asleep in his car. Would have been safer drink driving?

It takes two to tango. It’s so unfortunate to see how the civic public trying hard to instigate violence and forcing police to behave in this manner! Yes, the police training needs change but the people also needs to grow up .It is a collective effort 🌎

They didn't do a sobriety test, they just went for the arrest and he flipped out. So would I if some stupid corrupt ego maniac 🐷 went to arrest me for sleeping in my car. Kill em all fuck the police 👮

Pushing your Racist agenda yet again thanks for more evidence. Don't worry, saving copies of all your posts, even the ones you try to remove like yesterday. Wonder how long until you're taken into a class action law suit.

Nine news getting worse than the ABC disgraceful

Love how it’s twisted by the media

Black lives may matter. Black criminal lives not so much. And that goes for other colours. Hes the moron who attempted to fire on police. His own damn fault and noone elses. Easily preventable. Police wont be brutal if you considered your own actions. Take responsibility.

The man, Rayshard Brooks, had run from the police on Friday night after failing a sobriety test and grabbing a Taser from an officer during a struggle with him. security footage appeared to show that Mr. Brooks had fired the Taser toward the officer. fullcontextplease

He grabbed a taser off an officer and pointed it at him ! How about you the media stop inticing race violence and police hate ? AllLivesMatter

Here's the moment the offender fires the stolen taser at the police officer. It wasn't an unprovoked attack against an unarmed black man

Attack police and steal their taser gun and you should be shot. Not a victim, an idiot.

No , he tried to resist arrest, tried to and then stole their laser and used it on police as he was running away, the police then shot. If you are going to report something make sure you get the facts.

US police chief resigns after black man 'sleeping in car' fatally shotFresh protests have broken out in Atlanta after a man sleeping in a car blocking a drive-through was shot and killed in a late-night struggle with officers. 9News Make up your mind, was he sleeping or was he struggling with police when he got shot? Key word here is “struggled”. Did he reach for an officer’s gun? Did he injure officers while resisting arrest? Did he have a weapon? I highly doubt he was shot just for being asleep in a car. I’ll wait for the police to come out with there report before a past my opinion.

Arrest of two black teenagers for jaywalking in US under reviewBody camera footage has been released after white police officers in the US arrested a black teenager and handcuffed a second for allegedly jaywalking in an area of Oklahoma where there are few footpaths. Cool when you are going to cover the thousands of videos where rioters maim and murder police officers and civilians? Who cares? These reactions occur in a country where there the constitution gives a right to bear arms and arms are so easily accessible. Cops don't give any chance of the risk of being shot. How many videos are there where interaction like this go to crap for the cops?

Trump's response to US protests has given Beijing plenty of ammunitionAs America mourned the loss of another black man at the hands of police, Donald Trump did little to bring his wounded, divided country together. His response has given Beijing plenty of ammunition, writes Kathryn Diss. Majority agree Donald Trump will beat Biden, 51%-43%, The Zogby Poll Trump base strong, owns union workers, and also even with women, Hispanic, suburban voters Poll June 41% of black voters will support Trump 'When looting starts, shooting starts' so said Trump. But the left was against that statement. So the police stood by as Walmart was looted and vandalised. Yeah, except of course that in the case of China, the communist government broke the agreement of civility, and in the case of CHAZ, citizens broke the agreement. But apart from that, yeah totally comparable. Dafuq is wrong with you people?

How George Floyd's death changed the US culture warsAt times, the zeal for justice has tipped over into the 'de-platforming' of those seen as insufficiently committed to the anti-racist cause. Most still aren’t on his side, because he kneels for a false narrative. So how did George Floyd get a bigger send off than Michael Jordan and a more expensive casket than Michael Jackson? Is money or fraud behind this? Is this a mannequin?
