TW: Another black man was shot and killed by Atlanta PD last night.— Holly Figueroa O'Reilly (@AynRandPaulRyan) June 13, 2020
Cops say he grabbed their taser so they had no choice but to shoot him.
Here he is, running away from the cops right before they kill him.
Someone is lying, and it ain't this video.

Tulsa is home to Police Major Travis Yates who said cops AREN'T SHOOTING ENOUGH BLACK PEOPLE.— Isa-Lee Wolf (@IsaLeeWolf) June 13, 2020
The end of police brutality requires a major cultural shift, both in policing and in society. The actions, the justifications and the excuses are all steeped in unquestioned racism.
And people wonder why the protesters are calling for defunding and reforming police departments wholesale. You can't train this kind of bullying & disrespect for people w/ 20 hours of "sensitivity training." These 2 cops have no business being cops in the first damn place.— Paul Wu-Tang Clan (@PaulWuster) June 13, 2020
Peaceful protest in East Meadow, NY (Long Island):— Rex Chapman🏇🏼 (@RexChapman) June 13, 2020
An officer abruptly stops so the protestor walking behind him bumps into the cop.
Then the man is violently arrested.
Bystanders: “they kneeled on his neck & had about 6 officers holding him down.”pic.twitter.com/uNK5DOaFRo
The way all the other cops *immediately* reacted to this non-brush shows they were all planning for something like this. So wrong.— GoDucksBearsDubs (@TallPaulOregon) June 13, 2020
They make the case for protesters rather than try to show the world that we’re wrong.— Maya Wiley (@mayawiley) June 13, 2020
This is straight up evil, especially with COVID burning through the jails. And judges and prosecutors are just as culpable.https://t.co/shICUbGS6B— Radley Balko (@radleybalko) June 13, 2020
