Justin Timberlake posted a message expressing his outrage over the police-involved killing of Rayshard Brooks
posted a message expressing his outrage over the police-involved killing of Rayshard Brooks early Monday morning , reacting to the disturbing footage of Atlanta police shooting and killing Brooks in a Wendy's parking lot on Friday night. In the wake of George Floyd's killing at the hands of police in Minneapolis, the Brooks incident drew swift condemnation, with Timberlake posting an image of Brooks cradling his baby, writing,"As a dad, this photo hurts.
The officer who shot Brooks, 27, has been fired and a second officer involved in the case has been put on administrative leave, while the Atlanta police chief stepped down over the weekend. The killing set off several days of protests in Atlanta that included the burning of the Wendy's where the shooting took place.
Timberlake also pointed to three others who've been the victims"racism, violence and intolerance" this week, name-checking Riah Milton, Dominique Fells -- both black trans women who were killed --and Robert Fuller, who was found hanging from a tree in a park in California.
"The system needs to change... it has repeatedly shown us that Black people in America are not safe," wrote Timberlake, who promised to follow-up with resources and other ways to help while encouraging fans to continue to"SAY THEIR NAMES," ending with the Black Lives Matter hashtag.
