Rayshard Brooks, 27, who had fallen asleep in his vehicle, failed a sobriety test, officials said. He was shot after a struggle over a Taser he grabbed from an officer, the authorities said.

An Atlanta man died after being shot by the police who found him asleep at a Wendy’s drive-through on Friday night, the authorities said.
The man, who was identified as Rayshard Brooks, 27, of Atlanta, had fallen asleep in his vehicle, causing other customers to drive around him, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a statement.
Mr. Brooks struggled with the police officers after he failed a sobriety test, the authorities said. As he was being arrested, he resisted and witnesses reported that Mr. Brooks grabbed and was in possession of a Taser that had been deployed by the police.
He was shot during the struggle, the bureau said, though a bystander’s video shared on social media showed the struggle between Mr. Brooks and officers, and appeared to show him running away when the police opened fire.
Mr. Brooks was taken to a hospital where he died after surgery. One officer was treated for an injury during the episode and was later released.
The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office said it was conducting its own investigation into the shooting, separate from the bureau’s.
“Our thoughts and our sympathies are extended to the family of Rayshard Brooks as we must not forget that this investigation is centered upon a loss of life,” the district attorney, Paul L. Howard Jr., said in a statement.
State and local officials spoke out about the shooting.
The Rev. James Woodall, the state president of the N.A.A.C.P., said on Saturday of Mr. Brooks, “there was nothing that he did that was deserving of death.”
“Our overall message is that we are done dying,” the reverend said. “We are done waking up at 1 or 2 in the morning to another murder or yet another case of police brutality.”
Former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said on Twitter that the killing of Mr. Brooks “demands we severely restrict the use of deadly force.” She added, “sleeping in a drive-thru must not end in death.”

I'm not sure where to post this one exactly but it seems relevant to all the anti cop stuff going on so here it is:

Yeah, i'm sure that will end well. I give it a week before one of these 'trained unarmed professionals' gets assaulted, raped and/or killed by some nutcase hobo, one of these people having a 'mental health crisis' or one of the people having a domestic dispute. Do these idiots even realize how often domestic disputes turn violent?

There is a reason that police are sent to such situations. Because they are trained and able to defend themselves if something goes wrong, which with these fools clearly do not understand

The newly elected DA of SF is a kid of a jailed Weather Underground terrorist, raised by another WG tard. In the 60's the WG blew up shit and tried to kill cops. Bill Ayers was a bigwig in WG and also the guy at whose house Obama announced his Senate run in Ill. Bill Ayers is proud of his work coming to fruition.

Is it even physically possible to fuck San Francisco up even more? The place is already basically a giant shit piss and used needle filled open air homeless shelter.

Wasn’t the DA Chesa Boudin raised by Bill Ayers (and his scumbag wife) himself?

Yes, that's the story. I had forgotten it was him, thought I read recently it was someone else but can't find where I read that. Wiki says Billyboy and Bernadine Dohrn raised him.

I'll give Billyboy some credit, he learned and realized it was better to try and bring down America thru higher education.

Having a trained, unarmed professional to supplement, not replace police on some of these calls isn't the worst idea when it's not an active emergency call that needs police to be dispatched immediately. Knowing San Francisco and California though they're going to fuck it up immensely and these 'trained, unarmed professionals' will either never materialize in any meaningful way while SFPD sits back and lets the city sink even deeper into hell or they'll be going out with police escorts every single call after one of them gets stabbed to death by a harmless mentally ill hobo.

Given that there have been plently of cases of people calling 911 for a "non violent" issue that ends up being violent and/or escaltes quickly to one, its better to have the police there first to triage it then if things are civil/no issue call in the "trained unarmed professionals"

 

[pwnest injun]

I don't think you need to pack a sidearm to deal with unruly school children, to be fair.

Imagine telling people who watched Dirty Harry that decades later, SF would end up just like the movie version and there is no Dirty Harry coming to save them.

Also this got fast tracked in Georgia.

Georgia lawmakers approve hate-crime bill after Republicans drop police protections

Georgia state lawmakers have approved a first-ever hate crime bill put forward by state Senate Republicans Monday, after a deal was reached removing protections for police officers.

Georgia state lawmakers have approved the first-ever hate crime bill put forward by state Senate Republicans Monday, after a deal was reached removing protections for police officers.

“We have a long history in Georgia of embedded discrimination. We can’t deny it. We can’t run from it, but we can change it,” state Sen. Bill Cowsert, a Republican legislator, said Monday. “I heard someone say, ‘If you stand idly by and tolerate hatred and discrimination, you are part of the problem’.”

The bill, which is now headed to Gov. Brian Kemp's desk for signature, would institute harsher penalties for hate crimes.

The state Senate also included a requirement that law enforcement agencies report incidents of hate crime to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, so the agency can start tracking where these crimes are occurring in the state of Georgia.

The governor’s signature would mean that Georgia would no longer be one of four states in the U.S. that does not have a hate crime bill.

“Victims need protection against any attack motivated by hatred due to bias or prejudice,” said state Sen. Donzella James, a Democrat from Atlanta, to local Fox 5 News.

“House Bill 426 is a measured approach at doing all of the things that we need to do to treat this injustice,” she added.

The hate-crime bill, which was originally passed by the state House last year, received renewed attention after the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, who was allegedly pursued and killed by three white men in February 2020, along with the recent Black Lives Matter protests in Atlanta and across the nation.
Bipartisan support for the bill was uncertain after Republican lawmakers included a measure protecting “first responders”. However, an agreement was met to remove the statute from the hate crime bill, and place it into a separate bill according to a local news outlet.

“At a time when our nation feels so divided, Georgia is bringing forth a moment of unity,” Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan said in a statement Tuesday. “This collaborative effort has produced a strong, meaningful hate crimes bill that protects people in targeted groups and send a strong statement about our values.”

Yea, homelessness has tripled since this whole pandemic happened. It's just going to look like more of a wasteland at this point.

The Saginaw Police Department and several of its officers face federal lawsuits seeking more than $75,000, alleging officers’ neglect caused the drunken-driving deaths of a woman and her infant daughter.

Black people: Why can't you cops just let blacks drive drunk? We burn you down!
Also black people: Why did you cops let blacks drive drunk? We sue you down!

(To be fair, if true, the police sound actually culpable in this case.)

I remember there was some adult tard that got shot by police several years ago. The parents called the police every time the tard got ahold of a knife (which were usually kept in a locked drawer) and retreated to the basement. The parents wouldn’t go down there because they didn’t want to get stabbed by their imbecile offspring, so they called the cops. Usually they got the same guy who could talk the potato down, but one time they got a different guy.

Cop goes downstairs, tard lunges at him with the stolen knife, cop shoots tard. Then the parents, who called the cops because they were too afraid to go downstairs and control the guy themselves, started shrieking about how horrible it was. He wiz a gud boi, didn’t do nuffin!

Another time, near my parents, two cops got shot and killed responding to a domestic. The woman escaped but her kids were still in the apartment, and she didn’t warn the cops that the man had a gun. They walked up without their weapons out to try and talk to the guy and he just cracked the door open slightly and shot both of them as they came up the stairs.

Yeah, these unarmed social services are just fresh meat for the grinder.

I feel bad for the parents, but to think the officer should have allowed him self to get stabbed and possible killed is just stupid, I just hope they were acting out of grief and "sobered up" later.

Those poor cops, I have a friend who used to work in CPS which is basically as much as "social worker police" as you can get, and in the non BS false-report cases she stated she didn't feel safe a lot of the times. I don't see how Social Workers would improve anything as a first responder

None of this will cause any significant change in use of force incidents, just like body cameras.

It also won't stop the killer cop narrative, up in Canada there's been a lot of "news" recently about people needlessly dying during wellness checks, one of the ones that got the most attention was an incident where paramedics called the police after the person they were checking on brandished a knife.

All the usual suspects are straight up pretending the police were the first responders, and completely ignoring the presence of the unarmed medics that were there first.

Still no toxicology report.

I need this in my life.

Garrett Rolfe, the officer in the shooting, was granted bail. The bail amount was 500k, plus requiring an ankle monitor and a few other conditions. Something about a 10% program was mentioned, so maybe he won't have to post the full amount? He has apparently raised around 300k and has support from police organizations though, so he shouldn't have any trouble posting it.

They livestreamed the hearing, which was kinda interesting. The weirdest thing was the DA's office pushing for Rolfe unlocking his cellphone as a bail condition, which the judge seemed rather unimpressed by and proceeded to deny.
