Coverboy Stop The Hate!
Why Are We in This Seemingly Endless Cycle of Hate?
By Daddy
Las Vegas — A calm cooperative traffic stop for drinking and driving in a Windy's parking lot. Rayshard Brooks admits to have been celebrating his daughter's birthday. He agrees to a breath analyzer test which returns a alcohol level of .0108 and which is considered too intoxicated to drive under Georgia law. As police officer's moved to handcuff him for suspected driving under the influence the videos show that Rayshard resisted arrest, escaped taking an officer's taser and fired the taser at the officers as he ran away. Three shots rang out and Rayshard died.
The first few minutes is at odds with the tragedy that follows: This isn't a third hand report of the incident. It was caught on two police body cams which justifies my belief in them. The following is a condensed version by the Atlanta Journal-Constution of the 44 minute long incident:
CNN had a former chief of police of Washington, DC commenting on the important points on this incident..
Officer Garrett Rolfe who fired the shots, has been terminated. Officer Devin Brosnan is now on administrative leave. The Fulton County District Attorney criticized the police officers' handling of the fatal shooting and said that a decision on whether to bring charges could come around Wednesday.
So how does this justify burning the Windys down? Deplorable in my opinion. My question is how do we fix the problem. That's what we should be discussing.
