Killing of Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta last night proves America’s system of policing is irrevocably broken. A 27-year-old falling asleep at a Wendy’s drive-through does not deserve death! And no, there is not even one excuse for it that should be tolerated by a civilized society.

This is what happened. Don’t know if killing him was justified but he was driving drunk. He passed out in a drive thru. Police show up, he fails Sobriety test. Resists arrest and assaulted police and takes their taser . Runs around then away but at some point pointed taser
You “don’t know” if killing him was justified given that he was driving drunk? What country do you think this is?!

Nobody said that . However him assaulting police and taking a taser and pointing it at them did nothing to de-escalate the situation

It was still the policeman’s responsibility to de-escalate the situation. There are many ways of doing that short of lethal force.

It may turn out to be justified use of force As had a taser and could incapacitate an officer and take their gun. He was being violent .
