Protesters gather at the restaurant where Rayshard Brooks was fatally shot by police in Atlanta on Friday.
“I do not believe that this was a justified use of deadly force and have called for the immediate termination of the officer,” Bottoms said at a news conference, adding the officer who shot Brooks had been fired. The killing of Brooks came after weeks of intense racial equality protests across the United States following the death of George Floyd, a black man killed in Minneapolis police custody when an officer kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes.GBI director Vic Reynolds said during a news conference that video captured by cameras inside the Wendy’s restaurant appeared to show Brooks had one of the officer’s Tasers in his hand when he fled.
