Watch: US Police Kill Another Unarmed Black Man
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A video showing two Atlanta police officers shooting an unarmed black man who later died has gone viral and once again sparked massive outrage across the US.
Atlanta officers responded to a call of a suspicious person on Friday night that led them to a Wendy’s drive-thru where 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks was allegedly asleep in his car. According to the George Bureau of Investigations (GBI), Brooks failed a field sobriety test and resisted when police tried to place him in custody. A stun gun was used by one of the officers, which Brooks tried to take, following which he ran and was shot. He later died during emergency surgery at the hospital, RT reported.
Though little is still known about the Brooks case, outrage has already been prevalent on social media and the streets thanks to a witness video showing officers struggling with Brooks and then shooting him.
