Objavljena su imena policajaca koji su ubili crnca ispred restorana u Atlanti
Brooks je pokušao izbjeći uhićenje pa su ga upucali
Objavljena su imena policajaca koji su u Atlanti ubili crnca Raysharda Brooksa. U pitanju su službenici Garrett Rolfe, koji je dobio otkaz i Devin Bronsan, koji je nakon ubojstva premješten na administrativnu poziciju.
Podsjećamo, netko je 27-godišnjeg Brooksa prijavio jer je spavao u automobilu koji je blokirao prolaz drugim vozačima. Po dolasku na intervenciju policajci su ustanovili da je mladi crnac pod utjecajem alkohola, a prilikom uhićenja Brooks je jednom od policajca uzeo elektrošoker što je dovelo do naguravanja. Nakon toga su ga upucali.
Prosvjednici zapalili restoran
Prosvjednici su u subotu zatvorili glavnu autocestu u Atlanti i zapalili restoran Wendy u kojem je policija upucala crnca dok je pokušavao izbjeći uhićenje, a incident je zabilježen na video snimku i zacijelo će potaknuti još više demonstracija širom zemlje.
Neredi su izbili nakon što je pao mrak u Atlanti, gdje je tijekom dana gradonačelnica Keisha Lance Bottoms rekla da je prihvatila ostavku šefice policije Erike Shields zbog smrti 27-godišnjeg Raysharda Brooksa.
Slike na lokalnoj televiziji prikazivale su restoran u plamenu više od 45 minuta prije nego što su vatrogasne ekipe stigle da ugase požar. Ostali demonstranti krenuli su na autocestu i zaustavili promet, prije nego što je policija postavila red automobila kako bi ih zaustavila.
