A 27-year-old Black man by the name of Rayshard Brooks was shot and killed by Atlanta police in a Wendy’s drive-thru on Friday night around 10:30 p.m.
Someone had called the police to complain about the man, Rayshard Brooks, who had fallen asleep in his car at the drive-thru and was blocking cars in line, TMZ reports. Customers could still go around him to get their food at the pick-up window.
The police report stated that the two officers attempted to arrest Brooks after he was given a field sobriety test and didn’t pass. In footage from the incident, cops tried to restrain Brooks on the ground for almost 30 seconds.
“After failing the test, the officers attempted to place the male subject into custody,” Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Nelly Miles said, per The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “During the arrest, the male subject resisted and a struggle ensued. The officer deployed a Taser.”
The police allege that Brooks took a Taser from one of the officers when he stood up. Another cop tried to use his taser, but then Brooks started running. The police chased him from behind, ultimately shooting three rounds into Brooks’ back. He was taken to the hospital and died during surgery.
The GBI says that one of the officers had minor injuries and was later released from the hospital. While the incident was captured on a cellphone, further details regarding the shooting are unclear. This incident is reportedly the 48th officer-involved shooting that the GBI has investigated in 2020.
Awesome website you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any message

I’d really love to be a part of online community where I can get responses from
other experienced individuals that share the same interest.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Thanks a lot!
Good info. Lucky me I came across your blog by accident (stumbleupon).
I have saved as a favorite for later!
Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell
to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it
pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this
is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
This website was… how do you say it? Relevant!!
Finally I have found something which helped me. Many thanks!
