Whom to believe?!

I am not a big fan of such one sided recording. Why are people getting up on the arms without even knowing the full story?! If there was racism involved fine, but what if certain folks are using the racist card to get away with shizz?


Recording people without permission and uploading to shame them is an act of bullying too!

Nah these kinda one sided tweets do not evoke any sympathy from me!

Fair enough but there are more videos I have seen where white women are explicitly threatening to go back to the country or faking their situation to get the police coming ( like that Amy Cooper who literally faked her situation to make it seem like an assault on the phone when it was literally an argument about her dog ). There needs to be some degree of accountability if you are going to weaponise white privilege to put someone in jail and possibly ruin their lives .Videos help in doing that especially when there is a high risk that a Black person might get arrested( and their story might not be believed by the cops ). Also, the cops would have arrested the woman if there was indeed evidence of the woman being in “Karen’s” face .

How can anyone bring such an evidence in the first place of such a deed? May be white folks should also start recording to safe guard themselves, which means there's no end to such a cycle!

Even in the dog video, that person was horrible beyond a doubt how she treated her dog, but do we have a clear pic of what happened before?! At least I didn't. Hence in the age of editing, I am very cynical believing such video outrage!


I am not a fan of shaming people on social media. It is calling in for mass bullying regardless of age gender or race!

There are laws and protocol for a reason otherwise such actions in the name of vigilance will have no means to an end!

(CNN)[Breaking news update, posted at 10:12 p.m. ET]

Protesters angry over the fatal police shooting of a black man at a fast-food restaurant in Atlanta marched onto the highway Saturday, shutting down part of the Interstate 75/85 downtown connector, a major thoroughfare through the city.

A crowd also set fire to automobiles near the Wendy's where Rayshard Brooks struggled with and then ran from officers Friday night. One of the officers shot Brooks after he appeared to point a taser at the officers.

Earlier on Saturday, police used tear gas to try to disperse the protesters near the Wendy's. A flash bang was heard in the area as well, as the police worked to clear the crowd from the area.

[Previous update posted at 8:11 p.m ET]

Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields stepped down from her job Saturday less than 24 hours after one of her officers shot and killed a black man.

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms called for the officer who shot the man to be fired.

The change at the top of the Atlanta Police Department comes as protesters take to the streets demanding action following death of 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks.

Brooks was shot in the parking lot of a Wendy's in southeast Atlanta Friday night after he scuffled with officers and ran away with one of their stun guns, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

The incident began with a call to police at 10:33 p.m. Friday about a man sleeping in a parked vehicle in the restaurant's drive-thru lane, causing other customers to drive around it, the GBI said in a statement.

Police gave Brooks a field sobriety test, which he failed, the GBI said. He resisted arrest and struggled with officers, the GBI said.

GBI Director Vic Reynolds said Saturday that his department obtained surveillance video of the incident from Wendy's and reviewed video that witnesses posted on social media.

CNN obtained two videos of the incident, including surveillance video from Wendy's released by the GBI. The other video was provided by an eyewitness who CNN is not naming because they requested anonymity due to privacy concerns.

The video from the eyewitness begins in the middle of the struggle between Brooks and two police officers. In the video, an officer is heard telling Brooks to "stop fighting" and "hands off the taser."

The eyewitness told CNN that by the time they arrived on the scene, Brooks' car was parked in a parking spot.

"The fight started when they tried to make an arrest ... after that he took a taser and took off," the witness said.

As the scuffle broke up, the video shows Brooks beginning to run from the officers and he is seen holding what appears to be a stun gun in his right hand. It appears one of the officers fires their stun gun at Brooks three times as he runs away.

Witnesses told GBI investigators that Brooks had one of the officer's stun guns.

Shortly after Brooks and one of the officers run by the car of the eyewitness taking the video, a second officer runs by, following Brooks.

Three shots are then heard out of frame.

The Wendy's surveillance video doesn't show the scuffle, but shows Brooks running away from where police cars are parked. In that video, Brooks appears to point the stun gun at the Atlanta officer.

"At that point the Atlanta officer reaches down and retrieves his weapon from his holster, discharges it, strikes Mr. Brooks there on the parking lot and he goes down," Reynolds, the GBI director, said in a press conference on Saturday.

The eyewitness is heard saying in additional video obtained by CNN that Brooks was still breathing as he lay on the ground.

Brooks was taken to a hospital, where he died, the statement said. One officer was treated for an injury and released, the GBI said.

Mayor criticizes officer

At a news conference Saturday, Bottoms criticized the officer who shot Brooks, saying, "There is a clear distinction between what you can do and what you should do."

"I do not believe this was a justified use of deadly force," Bottoms said

Bottoms said it was Shields' decision to step aside and she will remain with the city in an undetermined role.

In a statement, Shields said she's stepping down "out of a deep and abiding love for this City and this department."

"APD has my full support, and Mayor Bottoms has my support on the future direction of this department. I have faith in the Mayor, and it is time for the city to move forward and build trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve," Shields said.

Rodney Bryant, the current head of the city's corrections department, will serve as the city's interim police chief.

Protesters block Atlanta's interstate

Brooks' killing comes during global protests and discussion of racism and police use of force following the death of George Floyd last month in custody in Minneapolis. Atlanta has seen frequent protests, including some that turned violent.

Six Atlanta police officers are facing charges of using excessive force related to the arrest of two college students at a protest late last month.

The officers were filmed in downtown Atlanta breaking windows of a vehicle, yanking a woman out of the car and using a stun gun on a man. The two victims were later identified as college students at Spelman and Morehouse, both historically black universities in Atlanta. They were on their way home from picking up food when they got caught in traffic downtown caused by a protest of police violence against black citizens.

Two of the officers were fired by the mayor.

Protesters returned to the streets Saturday night, flooding the area around the Wendy's where Brooks was killed.

As protesters began to vandalize the Wendy's where Brooks was killed, Atlanta police used tear gas on the crowd. A flash bang was heard as police worked to clear people from the area. CNN's Natasha Chen and two photographers were harassed outside the Wendy's building where Brooks was killed. A CNN camera was broken.

Around 9:30 p.m., protesters headed toward I-75, a busy interstate nearby. Police and protesters were at a standoff as officers tried clear the road. Protesters and police have blocked the interstate, impacting traffic for miles.

Windows at the Wendy's were smashed and smoke could be seen coming from the building.

'I thought Atlanta was higher than that'

At the Wendy's in southeast Atlanta, Decatur Redd, who said he is a relative of Brooks, spoke with reporters and a crowd of people.

"I don't know how to do this because I never knew that I was going to have to do this," Redd said. "I've watched this on the internet, from the whole George Floyd situation to us coming together like we're doing and this whole thing landed on my doorstep with my little cousin.

"I thought Atlanta was higher than that. I thought Atlanta was bigger than that," Redd said.

"We've been watching this happen for so many years, with young black boys around the country just dying in vain," Redd said. "I just don't want that to continue and keep happening like that."

Attorneys L. Chris Stewart and Justin Miller are representing Brooks' family. They say he was a father of three daughters and a stepson.

Stewart said Brooks' family is heartbroken over his death and he had a "ton of brothers and sisters that love him more than life."

Brooks spent time with one of his daughters Friday, taking her to get her nails done for her birthday, Stewart said, adding he was planning to take her skating Saturday and she was waiting for him to pick her up.

Stewart said witnesses he talked to described Brooks as having a calm conversation with the officers before they tried to arrest him. "He wasn't doing anything violent or crazy," Stewart said.

Police have argued in the past that a stun gun is not a deadly weapon, so there was no reason to use deadly force against Brooks, who was running away, Stewart said.

"I have cases where officers used tasers on victims and they argue with us in court that tasers aren't deadly," Stewart said. "You cannot have it both ways."

Stewart pointed out that police had Brooks' ID and his address, asserting they could have easily tracked him down.

Stewart also said the surveillance video shows officers waited 2 minutes and 16 seconds to begin providing aid to Brooks.

Former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams called for restricting the use of deadly force in a post on Twitter.

"The killing of #RayshardBrooks in Atlanta last night demands we severely restrict the use of deadly force. Yes, investigations must be called for - but so too should accountability," Abrams wrote. "Sleeping in a drive-thru must not end in death."

What will happen to those who are on J1, H1B atm, their visas won't be renewed?! If yes, sounds horrible!

But then if Trump isn't repeated in next election, these ought to change too?!

Not sure yet but from what I read they are looking into reducing H1B extension time to two years instead of the three years . Yeah, if Trump doesn’t win next elections then most of the stuff will become void since he is doing it through executive orders . I honestly hope he goes but I am not going to keep my hopes high.
