The Official Response To The Shooting Of Rayshard Brooks Should Alarm Everyone
[HotAir] By this time, you’ve probably already seen the video of an Atlanta police officer shooting and killing Rayshard Brooks in the parking lot of a local Wendy’s restaurant on Friday night. (You can view the video at this link from NBC News.) The shooting looks to me as if it should have been entirely preventable, as I’ll discuss below, but the official response to it has also been troubling, though for different reasons. Not even a day later, the officer who shot Brooks had been fired and the Police Chief had resigned. Saturday night, rioters burned the Wendy’s restaurant to the ground. And then, not even two full days later, authorities ruled the shooting to be a homicide.

#2 Guess black lives don't matter as much as they say they do.

#3 What we’re seeing here is the Atlanta Police Department and the municipal government reacting in panic.

The obligatory WOKE response. What are your questions ?

Some days ago you asked what would happen in the areas convulsed by riot and looting, g(r)omgoru.

#7 These days, it wouldn't matter if Rayshard Brooks had an AK-47 shooting on full auto. People would still riot when he got shot. They're just looking for an excuse.

#8 Wasn't Brooks a criminal ? Shouldn't he have been shot ? I think every criminal trying to resist arrest should be just shot. If the shooting was preventable, it was only Brooks who could've prevented it.

I was arrested once. Aggressively patted down and pushed about. I didn't mind. The Bombay police grunt was just doing his job. You only mind if you're an enemy of State.
