Dang, here we go again...
In Atlanta, 27-year-old Richard Brooks was in a Wendy’s parking lot, intoxicated. Cops came, he resisted arrest, grabbed a cop’s taser, the cop fired back and shot him.
Here are the casualties:
Richard Brooks dead.
The Wendy’s burned down.
Both cops fired.
Atlanta chief of police resigns.
Protesters stopping traffic on two Interstate highways.
Standard Operating Procedure for a drunk driver, regardless of color, is to be subjected to a breathalyzer test. Failure to do so, or exceeding the legal limit means getting arrested, taken to the station and put in the drunk tank.
Why? To keep a drunk driver from getting behind the wheel and harming himself and/or somebody else.
Standard procedure for cops accused of any wrongdoing is for an independent investigation to determine whattheir fate would be.
In the case of Derek Chauvin, no question he was wrong. With these Atlanta cops, it’s not so clear. The whole scuffle with Brooks was captured on tape and lasted only twelve seconds.
But the outcome was predictable. The media will label all cops bad, all cops racist, more riots and looting, cops quitting or being fired, and here we are again.
At Wendy’s, if you like your burgers well-done and buns toasted, you’re in luck. However, your Frosties will be melted.
