Atlanta is burning down, because of another black thug.

Man's death after police shooting outside Wendy's in Atlanta sparks investigation and protests

Atlanta police were called to the Wendy's for a report of a man asleep in the drive-thru. The incident ended with an officer shooting the man, who later died after surgery.

www.cnbc.com

He attacked the cops after they gave him a sobriety test and he failed and was being put under arrest and got ahold of the taser.

That's no reason to shoot him fool. Why are police drawing weapons and shooting people over petty bullshit? Police are out of control.

He ATTACKED the cops, what were they supposed to do let him attack cops with no reaction?

He attacked the cops after they gave him a sobriety test and he failed and was being put under arrest and got ahold of the taser.

Couldn't you ask though why did they have to arrest him? Why not just call his family to come and pick him up so that he can get home safely? From what I have been reading and hearing he was not causing any problems leading up to that and was just asleep in a car.

He was drunk or on drugs therefore its a DUI or DWI. He then attacked cops which is a felony

Even though he wasn't driving and was apparently sleeping? Doesn't this situation kindof hit on the ongoing topic of how the police should respond to calls? For me personally this is one of those situations where nobody has been harmed and clearly someone needs some help and so why not have the moment lend itself to an act of kindness by the police by helping him get over over the standard, some might say out-dated, method of going straight towards arresting?

So he wakes up drunk and drives home and kills a family of 5? Seriously

Well no, I said that the cops could have helped him get home.

And they could have sat there and had drinks with him

Possibly, or maybe buy him a meal at Wendy's. Help xhange the current narrative about police officers one citizen at a time. I'm not saying it would have worked, but a man who was sleeping in a car at a drive through is now dead.

You sound like you want cops to be babysitters and social workers. They aren't, nor are trained to be counselors. It is not their job to coddle. The guy was asleep, fought them, ran, got his stupid ass killed.

MY question is...why didn't someone from wendy's crew go out there and wake him up, tell him to come inside to get his order, and then move his car if he didn't do it himself.

 

[Gracie]

Things are VERY VOLATILE now. Cops should have told wendys they were busy..handle it themselves. Call a fucking tow truck or something.
In cali, two black guys have been found lynched in trees. Something tells me more of this is going to happen if blacks don't stop killing their own towns and businesses EMPLOYING their mothers, sisters, cousins, friends because they are too fucking STUPID to handle such situations like MEN and fight without BURNING AND LOOTING THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOODS.

They responded by giving him a sobriety test which he failed and would have spent a few hours MAX in detox at the jail and more than likely released. HE escalated it by attacking the cops over a small misdemeanor crime. Really dumb on his part. I don't care if he was white,black,asian or hispanic he brought it on himself.

He was DRUNK. Drunk and irrational. And in today's climate, anyone of colour waking up being attacked by police has reason to fear for his life.

Drunk and irrational is no reason to shoot him. They had his car. They knew who he was. They can arrest him when he sobers up.

That's not what happened. He was calm enough to move his car out of the drive thru lane, did the field sobriety test (which he failed) and THEN he freaked out, the two cops couldn't hold him.

Here's the final seconds, all on camera. Go to 28:30 And Winterborn is right. He was shooting over his shoulder.

Nah, "shooting over the shoulder" is different. He had turned around. He was still running, but he was squared toward the cops. Try it yourself, and see.

How would you like to be the CEO of Wendy's and you get a call at home... uh, yeah, a white cop just shot one of our black customers
what? where at?
in the back...
fuck! but, I mean where at geographically
in the drive thru
shit! but, I mean, what city, you imbecile
Atlanta
oh christ. goddam it!

So shooting at cops over the shoulder is ok? Can you please quote the manual stating this?

he fell asleep in a fast food drive thru blocking other customers. Police were called, the man fails a field sobriety test, he refuses to be arrested, then starts physically fighting the cops and manages to get one of their tazers, then runs, turns, points it at them. What the fuck do you guys expect cops do today, join hands and sing Kumbaya ?

I'm not sure what all they said to him during the early moments but in my personal opinion they could have let him know that they were there to help him and not to harm him. They could have had him get out of the car and wait inside for a family member to come pick him up while his car was left overnight in the parking lot of the Wendy's. Even if they didn't do that and still did the field sobriety test and the handcuffing once he started to resist and run away they could have let him go since they had his car and could have easily found out where he lives and could have arrested him at another time after he sobered up. I'm just giving alternatives. Alternatives that emphasize de-escalation.

We were not there so we will never know. They could have not shown up at all too, right? There are a thousand "what if's". But the facts are this. He resisted arrest and took a cop's weapon. You don't get to do that.

That is true. However, I would say that once he started to run with the taser the officers could have stopped the pursuit and arrested him at another time. Just my personal opinion.

Just curious but where do they teach those law enforcement procedures? The guy was arrested because he failed a sobriety test. He resisted arrest by refusing to be handcuffed. Then he attacked the officers and took a weapon. Pointed the weapon at one of the officers who had no idea of the type of weapon. Then he ran. 5 offenses in less than a minute. The officers acted on instinct and reflexes. Therefore they were correct and I am sure alcohol won't be the only thing found in his system. Alcohol alone doesn't give someone the sudden brute strength to overpower 2 healthy cops who had him face down. Maybe one of them should have knelt on his neck.

You're right about the procedure. Wrong about trashing the victim at this point.

But of course, "victim" was a saint.

Doubtful. Does it really have to be an all or nothing proposition?

 

[Street Juice]

I wish they would start publishing the IQ of these guys. How are you going to start running away in that situation? Do you think you are going to get away and then it will be over?

 

[OldLady]

Brooks was shuckin' and jivin' and when he saw he wasn't gonna get away with it, he got serious. He had obviously moved his car after the cops woke him, because where he was (if that white car was his) wasn't in anyone's way. The cop COULD have taken his keys, impounded the car, given him a ticket for the DUI and let him walk to his sister's. If Georgia allows DUI's to be handled that way. In Maine you go to JAIL, get booked. You get arraigned and bailed at their convenience. I know someone it happened to; a bigshot, too.

Well, since people who fall asleep in the drive through are usually fucked up, I'd think twice about doing it. You don't know how it's going to go. As the cops discovered. If someone had, though, it would have gone a whole lot better.

In Texas you go to jail also if you're in the driver's seat of a vehicle (moving or not) and are found to be intoxicated. That also goes for golf carts.

You’ve clearly never dealt with an actual “complete asshole” cop before. This cop was as cool and professional as you're likely to meet. And cuffing him was necessary. It’s part of the arrest procedure.

Oh yes I have. When I was 20 years old or so, a CHP pulled me over for supposedly a taillight out. He asked me to get out of my car (this was on highwy 99, central cali), follow him to his car so he could get my info. So I did. He got in, then commenced to DRAG me in with him, in the front seat, mind you. He wanted more than info, lemme tell ya.
I got away..barely...and went straight to the police station at home and told them. They said they had reports of this happening to other young drivers alone in a car at night on hwy 99. I did the best I could to describe him, and they caught him.

HE was an ASSHOLE. And a rapist as well.
The cop with the camera seemed cooler headed. The other one was picking a fight in my opinion...and could have avoided the whole situation just by letting him walk home and taking his keys.

 

[night_son]

So many hearts bleeding naiveté and hypocrisy all over this thread. What the video evidence has shown us is a justified police shooting, period. Are so many of my fellow American adults really this ignorant of police procedure and real bloody life in general? One can be resisting arrest violently for jaywalking and be killed by the police. There's no faster method of dying by cop than reaching for a police officer's weapon, let alone stealing and using one of them. Mark my words. All those fools piling onto this race worshipping, America is systemically racist narrative will regret it, will reap what they have sown, when the mob violence they helped to foment swallows their neighborhoods. The mob has one mind and that mind does not think, it destroys and murders and rends flesh and bone as hungrily as brick and wood. Pathetic.

What you describe sounds less like an asshole, and more like outright criminal behavior. As for the cops in this incident, they got it right. The guy admitted to drunk driving which was verified by the breathalyzer. He had his chance to walk home instead of drive. He chose to drive. And he got busted. Then he got himself killed.

In coastal communities like Rockport, Port Aransas, High Island, etc... golf carts are pretty much the way to get around. If you're intoxicated driving them....you get arrested for DWI.
