Recorded on video and surveillance cameras, Brooks's fatal encounter with police was the latest in a string of incidents that has sparked a wave of nationwide protests over police brutality. The death drew expressions of outrage, shock and dismay in a country deeply shaken by civil unrest since the May 25 police killing in Minneapolis, Minnesota of George Floyd, an unarmed black man.“This did not call for lethal force. And I don't know what's in the culture that would make this guy do that. It has got to be the culture.
Ilhan Omar, a Somali-American congresswoman from Minnesota, called that idea “ludicrous” and instead supports dismantling troubled police forces in places like Minneapolis, her hometown, and rebuilding them from the ground up. Brooks allegedly failed a sobriety test administered by police, and when the officers tried to arrest him, a struggle broke out.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which probes police-involved killings, also released restaurant surveillance video that showed Brooks turn and appear to fire the Taser at the officers.
