Monday Sunrise Briefing: Injustice protests reignited in Atlanta

Another incident of excessive use of force re-ignited protests in Atlanta this weekend and prompted the resignation of the city’s police chief. Protesters burned a Wendy’s restaurant to the ground Saturday after a Black man was fatally shot by police while resisting detention during a sobriety check. Police videos of the shooting were released Sunday. One white officer was fired and another was put on administrative leave. In this case, police use of lethal force may hinge on the answer to the question: Is a Taser a deadly weapon?
