New Mexico Shooting Raises Specter Of Right-Wing Violence Around Statue Protests

A Wendy's employee who called 911 before the fatal police shooting of Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta told the dispatcher that a customer who appeared to be intoxicated was asleep in his car in the restaurant's drive-thru, according to a record of the call.

"I tried to wake him up, but he's parked dead in the middle of the drive-thru, so I don't know what's wrong with him, " the caller says. "He woke up, looked at me and I was like, 'You got to move out of the drive-thru. ' Because people can't, they're going around him. "

The employee tells the dispatcher in a call released Monday that they asked the man to pull to the side and go to sleep. When the 911 operator asks if the man had any weapons visible, the caller responds, "No, no. I think he's intoxicated. "Brooks, a Black man, was killed Friday night in the parking lot of the Wendy's after two officers with the Atlanta Police Department responded to the 911 call. His death has been ruled a homicide, and the officer who shot Brooks, Garrett Rolfe, has been fired.

The second officer, Devin Brosnan, was placed on administrative leave. And police Chief Erika Shields resigned from her post less than 24 hours after the shooting.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which is investigating the shooting, said Saturday that Brooks failed a field sobriety test and struggled with the officers as they tried to arrest him.
