Before being shot to death by an Atlanta police officer in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant, Rayshard Brooks had a cordial conversation about being in the area to visit his mother's grave and to celebrate one of his young daughter's birthdays, according to a series of videos released
The shooting of Brooks, who is black, on Friday night sparked new protests and an arson fire at the Wendy's where the confrontation started and escalated into the use of lethal force. It came on the heels of days of protests in Atlanta and across the nation over the officer-involved killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Bronsan was the first officer to arrive. His body camera captured him knocking several times on the driver's window of a white Toyota rental car, trying to awaken the driver. Unable to get the attention of the driver, later identified as Brooks, 27, Bronsan opened the driver's side door and shook Brooks to wake him up.
Story continuesRolfe then went to speak to Brooks. In the conversation recorded by Rolfe's body camera, Brooks said he didn't remember being asleep in the Wendy's drive-thru line.

L. Chris Stewart, an attorney for Brooks' family, denounced the shooting as an unnecessary use of deadly force and during a news conference on Saturday night said Rolfe could have resorted to less-lethal force to take Brooks into custody. "I firmly believe that there is a clear distinction between what you can do and what you should do," Bottoms said in a press conference regarding the officer's actions."I do not believe this was a justified use of deadly force and have called for the immediate termination of the officer."
