That's serious

CNN go to HELL

R u happy now. Crime has rise since all this thugs got to the streets. Everyone who works at CNN have blood in they hands .

Why did he have to fight them. Why did he have to get them to the point. It's sad it ended the way it did. Yet you have consuques to every action.And so will the officer.

Why do SOME ignorants resist arrest ?!?!?!!! 🤨 it’s so annoying🤨 and why do SOME ignorant police shoot and kill the ignorants that do resist them 🤨 it’s so annoying 🤨 will someone give a good answer not an ignorant one 😒

America FU*K YEAH! Comin' again to save the motherfu*kin' day, yeah! America (FU*K YEAH!) Freedom is the only way, yeah!

Setting fire two things doesn't make anything better it just makes it worse and you're not really protesting you're destroying things.

Stop the bs

Why did they shoot to kill, that's if they even had to shoot? Why not shoot to immobilise - the leg, shoulder, etc?

why? why? why? why? why?

i could cry for what is goining on .....

Dangerous way of reporting.... You should be ashamed.

RESPECT OUR POLICE OFFICERS

itsmekents

Plain stupid ! With the escalating of what’s going on in America why resist, why fight back, why take an officers taser, why run, why try to fire at an officer. You will get shot. Who do you think you are? As a police officer I’d be having my gun ready at all times.

This world is going to hell if we are allowing people to fight cops and the crying over the consequences that come with it. Sorry

At this rate, law enforcement has to get rid of all white police officers to please the public. Doesn't matter what they do, they're guilty. Good luck then. If you can find enough blacks. Perhaps try the Bloods & the Crips?

Was that killer cop arrested for murder?

All the NAZI loving cops have got to go.

He committed no crime. Sleeping in a car. Why did they even try to arrest him? No reason to shoot him at all. Put him on trial

Jail the cops 👮‍♀️

Cop should have thought 'You taze me I'll taze you '!

Why don’t you spend this much time when a police officer is killed

I used to watch CNN all the time but I’m so silent sick of them trying to interfere with this incident. It’s like they want trouble to start.

CNN IS NOT TELLING YOU ABOUT WHITE-ATTACKS

I haven’t seen any details of what caused the shooting so everyone needs to chill until you find out more about what happened. Yes there are bad cops in there is police brutality but majority of them are good cops who go home to their families if they’re lucky every night

Thanks CNN! Keep the hate train going for the libtards!

Wendy's😍😍

“You’ve just been Baconated™️”- Officer Piglet

He fought with and punched the cops and then ran away with the taser. Don’t fight and punch cops and steal their taser.

Another shining example of....play stupid games win stupid prizes...

Delivering News on the rasist way!!! Thats how you bring the tension up!!! Crazy motherfuckers.

WOW

A case bearing striking resemblance to this case also occurred at a Taco Bell in California in 2019. Can you please cover it with the Atlanta situation. Very similar situation that happened in the last year or so.

Hi, I'm from the theater department in Navarro College (from Netflix's Cheer). I'm trying to contact some reporters and journalist about some issues in my community do I can help spread awareness for all communities.

Is it Trump or is Putin transvestite of Trump who is in the White House?

Are you sure you didn't just make it all up?

Some of these officers are serial killers with the 'law' on their side

Black men are target practice for the police, they didn't get as much training so they training while on the job. Kmtttttt drunk man, passed out at least he wasn't on the road driving to cause accidents. These police needs years and years of proper training.

Dude was in the wrong but the way the police officer not the whole force handle it was incredibly wrong. Since he was in his car. One they have his car. Two they know who he is. CHP (California Highway Partol) new procedure is simple. If we know who you are we can get you later.

Actually CNN equals ccp

Motherfucker CNN Fake news CNN

It’s amazing that if you behave yourself, like don’t get drunk and cause trouble, that you normally don’t get into trouble. It’s as easy as that.

Keep fighting back.

realDonaldTrump fakenews

Why you putting this out there since the beginning of time people have fought for land. AND WE still DO! All over the Middle East we’ve killed children in the name of what?Trump wants to bring back our troops because he doesn’t want WAR and he is the bad guy?

If you try to take a police officers weapon then you get killed. What’s so hard to learn about that?

TYT johniadarola AnaKasparian cenkuygur bretterlich JayarJackson

Democrats want zero cops zero borders, zero USA

So

The only way to fix the police is to retire out the old white ones, fire the ones with alot of complaints against them and then replace them with Black People, make the ratio 80% black and the other 20% mix race. Problem solved

anyone who thought the protests would change these things from happening.

Unbelievable situation.

'He didn't want to get tased so I had to kill him.' said the murderer. 'Even though I work directly with the police, I'll independently investigate this killing myself.' said the DA.

Great, now are they gonna burn ANOTHER Wendy's?

Completely awful

Why innocent depositors are made to suffer due to negligence of regulator RBI yesbankcrisis is revived by RBI nsitharaman why pmcbankcrisis not revived? AnilSinghvi_ why are you not covering Pmcbank is your channel paid for not covering pain of innocent depositors?

NatashaChenCNN

NatashaChenCNN Oh they forgot to put in the statement... he was running away then shot. There is no good reason to shoot someone in the back. They had his car. They knew who he was... He should have woken up in the drunk tank with charges—not in the morgue

NatashaChenCNN If a sleepy, drunk, unarmed guy can take your taser from you and you’re so scared you have to shoot & KILL him... YOU CAN’T BE A FUCKING COP

NatashaChenCNN Lesson Learned? Don't GRAB for an Officer's 'anything'. Headline could had been: OFFICER KILLED... but of course would not have shown it Glad that that officer Officer could go home to his family last night

NatashaChenCNN Of course they head straight for the defence! It’s a damn good thing there are plenty of witnesses to this incident!

NatashaChenCNN We have to face the reality this wasn't about resisting or fearing for anyone's live, but the cop actually shot him in the back because he was angry and ashamed that he got slapped by a drunk black man and both he and his partner were too weak to restrain him.

CNN stop trying to provoke a civil war!!!

DT Just proved that he a racist :

So according to CNN a black man was in line at Wendy’s drive thru and a Policeman came up to his vehicle and shot him dead, why is it I feel we are not getting the whole truth, well it’s CNN so...

I'll wait for all of the facts.

Freaking CNN, finish the head line idiots. Man was resisting arrest which was part of the reason. The investigation is not completed by y’alls stupid opinions.

Wow! Was murdering this man really necessary

Nice

In the Old West, there was a name for anyone that shot someone in the back🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

This hate is causing rage among some. Someone better get a handle on this soon.

This is CNN all day 24/7 Anti-America

Hey America, STOP FIGHTING POLICE OFFICERS.

So you can charge officers who have a gun on them and if the officer is actually doing his dam job and protecting himself and you from that drunk idiot from getting firearm, he is the bad guy. I’m waiting for black male shot by police 4 using uzi in school but cops at fault

Wow

So what’s the real story 🤔 StayProtected😷 💜💛 😷 PracticeSocialDistance🚶🏾↔️🚶‍♂️

BLM started as and still is a violent anti-police movement.

The police don't even know how to handle a drunk, SHAME!

God help you if you’re a cop these days.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

The horror continues.

WE the People SAW the video; Rashard was murdered by shooting in the back, THEN lying on the ground he was shot AGAIN: Officers picked up their shell casings around his body!!! He died right there on cell phone cameras, CNN scum; CNNHQ in Atlanta still?

Omg

17s 4lw4y5 hun7ing 53450n

I think it's according to the video that shows this happening.

CNN lies again!

Bad cop, no bail.

Whatever happened to the drunk tank?

CNN Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek

For anyone not wanting to read the article. Drunk guy passed out in drive thru, cops were called, he failed sobriety test, resisted arrest, cop tried to taser him, a struggle happened and suspect grabbed cops taser, cop shot suspect.

GunsAkimbo Are guns being used lawfully or illegally as far as police are concerned, no one knows? In Tulsa white policeman on video arresting and beating two black teens, for jaywalking, he says? Street was empty, no sidewalks, teens walking peacefully

Who is the MAYOR

I can only assume a black police officer otherwise it would have stated white. Nevertheless, attacking a cop rarely ends well. That is one fact no one can argue

No justification for killing, but perhaps don’t fight with cops, it doesn’t end well

Would you care if the victim was white?

I hope the victim is not black? Saynotoblackspree

Another story to divide America. I love the fake news media 🇺🇸

Their egos got the best of them... no one should ever be shot in the back. It’s not like they didn’t know where to find him had he kept runnng away.

how late was his order ?

He must not be black or that would be the headline, white lives do not matter to you

Can we talk about the asshole that called the cops on a guy sleeping in his car? Why is that the first instinct? Why not go wake him up and ask him to move somewhere out of the way yourself? That person put this guy in harms way.

Why TF does this keep happening?

I guess that man did something wrong ...CNN should say exactly what he did and why he got shot .

Thousands of unarmed citizens get killed yearly in Democratic ghettos. FactsDontCareAboutYourFeelings

Hathor91613373 CNN, you know better. That should read 'after POLICE CLAIM he resisted arrest...' On NO PLANET was this use of deadly force was justified, even with the facts taken as most favorable to police, as you've written the article. Sleeping in your car is not death-penalty eligible.

Looks like resisting arrest to me

What is there not to understand don’t FUCKING try to grab a Police mans weapon. Police Lives matter.

Never forget this is what Trump means when he says “Law and Order”

Really is this now the new normal?!

Wait a damn minute.........

Atlanta Police Fatally Shoot Black Man in the Back at Wendy's Drive-ThruA 27-year-old African-American man was shot in the back and killed by Atlanta police Friday night, after someone complained he was sleeping in his car at a Wendy's drive-thru. Even in an active, full-fledged war zone, you CANNOT shoot the enemy in the back and kill them after failing to restrain them during a traffic violation. Looks like Atlanta needs to have a job fair and hire some new police officers. Terrible. Before posting news, first get the facts.

Several officers wounded in shootout with ambush suspectBREAKING: Several police officers were wounded in separate shootouts in California with a man suspected of ambushing and seriously injuring a deputy, authorities say. A San Luis Obispo Sheriff's Department spokesman said the suspect is in custody. Come back when the numbers match the number civilians dead at their hand. For now...zzzz Cops wouldn't have to worry about somethlike this if the supposed good cops stopped covering for the bad ones. As the situation in Minneapolis proved, standing by doing nothing makes you complicit. To the people saying, 'did his life matter?' You know the killer isn't going be let go. He is definitely going to jail for the rest of his life. Maybe even death. There will be justice. But when the police kill a unarmed black man/woman. 99% of the time, no one goes to jail.
