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.

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.

You can't de-escalate someone. That comes from within, and I would think you'd know that. His violent reaction to being arrested and stealing, shooting taser put him at risk to others.
