    Wendy's torched in Atlanta after Rayshard Brooks death

    Protests and destruction erupted in Atlanta on Saturday night in response to the police-involved shooting death of a 27-year-old man outside a Wendy's fast-food restaurant.

    Television images showed the restaurant on fire around 9:30 p.m. ET as rioters filled the parking lot where Brooks was shot in the back by police after allegedly grabbing a stun gun away from an officer during a struggle...

    with all the video evidence, I really, REALLY hope he sues for wrongful termination and wins a boat load of money.

    So someone does something you don't like so you destroy the place near where it was done. Yeah, that makes sense.

    Mixed feelings on this situation

    YES, he did resist, and he attempted to taze the police - (which the police themselves have said is NOT lethal)...

    HOWEVER, is it policy to shoot a fleeing perp, or should they have tried to chase him down, like I've seen the officers do (many, many times) on the TV shows Cops, and Live PD?

    I'm the same way on this one. No way should this have resulted in a shooting death. But it is also a lesson in not resisting the police either. That doesn't justify what was done, but on the other hand it never would've happened if he hadn't resisted. He would have gone to jail and probably been out the next day. But now he's dead because he had to fight back.

    How do you chase a guy who's wielding a tazer without shooting him from a distance ? Are they supposed to get closer to him so that it will be easier for him to taze them ?
