Great way to destroy a legacy!

WHO?

I wonder what Dr. King would think about that. A child beating outlaw who passed out in a Wendy’s parking lot then resisted arrest stole the cops taser pointed it at them and shot. So let’s now make him a saint. Dr. King is rolling over in his grave

Jimmy Kimmel is a racist piece of trash who needs to be fired immediately . Using the N word is not ok.

Will the abused wife/kids be attending? Or the girlfriend maybe....Or all of the above? Maybe Sharpton?

Will his girlfriend be sitting with his wife? How about the kids he beat? This is becoming a joke .

Will his wife and the girlfriend show up? Awkward.

Just one question... WHAT is she wearing I'm confused.

Coutesy of Tyler Perry?

Rayshard Brooks' funeral will be held at the church where Martin Luther King Jr. once preachedThe family and friends of Rayshard Brooks will honor his life in a funeral service on Tuesday, more than a week after the 27-year-old father was shot and killed by an Atlanta police officer. Will that include the family members he was serving 7 years for abusing?🤔 Had Trump not fueled the situation in recent weeks, Rashard would still be alive today. The murderer is not just the policeman but the man who manipulates people and incites them to racism! In deep sorrow I sympathize with the great loss.

Thx for that! We should follow up on those kids because I betcha they’re gonna grow up and greatly contribute and change things for the better in our society. Just wait and see what they’ll accomplish with that education. Wondering what took so long for Uber wealthy to pony up? If Mr. Brooks was out with his daughter,celebrating her birthday, just hours before his death, when did he have the time to get drunk? Brooks was a piece of 💩. Cops were justified in my view. But in the end it’s all good, he’s gone and his kids get a full scholarship and they don’t have to put up with his abuse ✌🏾
