Lawmakers face calls for police reform after officers killed a Black man at a drive-through in Atlanta.
Against the backdrop of another Black man’s death at the hands of a white police officer, this time in Atlanta, Republican allies of President Trump clashed Sunday with Democratic lawmakers over police-reform legislation expected to be a focal point this week in both the House and the Senate.
Trump, who turned 74 on Sunday, has often appeared out of step with public sentiment, with opinion polls suggestingAs marches and rallies spread from coast to coast and beyond the U.S.
“It’s a time to stop the problem, because if someone’s knee is on your neck, you can’t take it halfway off and say that that’s progress,” said Booker, a former mayor of Newark who sought the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Brooks failed a sobriety test after police responded to a call about a man sleeping in a parked vehicle in the drive-through lane of a Wendy’s restaurant. Brooks, according to authorities and videos, struggled with officers seeking to handcuff him after questioning him for a lengthy period of time. Authorities said Brooks grabbed a Taser during the scuffle, and video appeared to show him aiming the stun gun in officers’ direction after attempting to flee.
Asked whether the police had used excessive force, Scott, appearing on CBS on Sunday morning, said, “one of the challenges that we have in these split-second decisions is the need for more training.”
