New video has been released that shows more of the events that led to the death of Rayshard Brooks Friday night.
Brooks was killed by Atlanta police officers who were summoned to a Wendy’s after a report that a man was asleep in his car in the drive-thru line. The interaction between Brooks and the police included officers administering a field sobriety test, which he reportedly failed, GBI spokeswoman Nelly Miles said, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“After failing the test, the officers attempted to place the male subject into custody,” Miles said, according to the newspaper. “During the arrest, the male subject resisted and a struggle ensued. The officer deployed a Taser.”

Brooks managed to wrestle the Taser away from the officer before being shot.
The shooting has sparked sometimes-violent demonstrations. The Wendy’s restaurant where the incident occurred was burned down Saturday night as demonstrators protested what they considered an unjustified shooting.
To some, however, like former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, himself a former federal prosecutor, the circumstances are still up for debate.

This video appears to present circumstances which may justify this use of force.
The only responsible position is to suspend judgment until a full investigation is done.
Two very different looks at the incident were recorded by the Wendy’s security camera and a cell phone camera of another customer at the scene.
Warning: The video contains disturbing images. --->Read the rest of the story HERE and follow link below to a related story:
