Brooks, 27, was shot by an officer late Friday outside of a Wendy's after police responded to a call about him being asleep in his car in the drive-thru lane.
ATLANTA — Outrage over the death of Rayshard Brooks continued on a rain-soaked Sunday in Georgia's capital city, with demonstrators returning to the burnt-out shell of the fast-food restaurant where he was shot by a now-fired police officer.
“They are killing us every day," said Kenyah Farley, who was among the small group of protesters who marched to the Georgia State Capitol, where there is a prominent statue of a Confederate soldier John Brown Gordon."Not just in the streets but in the prisons, too. ... I don’t want to see another man dead on the street because he was drunk at a freaking Wendys.
Occasionally, cars pulled in and rolled around the building, tracing the drive-thru line that Brooks was waiting in when he fell asleep, prompting the fatal 911 call.“It could have been me,” he said. Saidah Kimerman arrived at what remained of the Wendy's at about 6 p.m., joined by her 13-year-old daughter Marcroee. She said she wanted her daughter to see what had happened there and to experience the protests that followed firsthand.
