Rayshard Brooks police shooting in Atlanta is recontextualized as a justified lethal force response to alleged drunk driving, assault, and taser theft. The segment critiques mainstream media and Black Lives Matter for ignoring these specific felonies, citing Brooks' failure of field sobriety tests and subsequent aggression against officers. It further condemns Mayor Bottoms for firing the involved personnel while arguing that BLM protests often prioritize race over individual criminal accountability, ultimately suggesting donations benefit politicians rather than the community.

Police Restraint vs. Media Narrative00:06:46
Rashard Brooks.
We talking about this again.
Well, this actually happens a lot.
But you only hear about it when it's a white police officer and a black guy.
Yeah.
This happens all the time to white people.
You just don't hear about it because, well, it's just too much common sense.
Anyway, I first learned about this story.
They said there's a black guy sleeping in the parking lot at Wendy's and the cops started messing with him.
That's not what happened.
Yeah.
What happened was...
Yeah, you know how mainstream media, when they get something, man, they like to do their creative writing.
Yeah, they like to twist around.
Man hunted down in Wendy's drive-thru while waiting for his chicken sandwich.
Yeah, and that's not what happened.
When you go to sleep, you like laying your bed, you tired of going to sleep.
Nobody drives to Wendy, sits in the drive-through lane and goes to sleep.
Nobody does that.
He passed out in the drive-through lane.
The dude was drunk.
He's drunk.
D-U-U-I.
That's a felony.
Should speak volumes.
Thousands of people die every year just because of people like Rayshard.
Yeah, so the dude's kids.
The dude.
People's wives, mothers, grandmothers, people die because of people like Rayshard.
Yeah.
So the cops knock on his door.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Get him out the car.
They have a nice conversation with Rashard.
He was polite.
He was being cordial.
And the police officers, they showed a lot of respect towards Ray Shard.
They wasn't calling the N-word or anything.
Yeah, they wasn't being white supremacists like the media portrays police officers.
But anyway, they do a breathalyzer test, a field sobriety test.
The dude fails miserably.
I mean, even when the cops were talking to him, you could hear his speech was slurred.
Yeah.
Right?
So the cops said I'm place you under arrest.
You're in no condition to drive.
Yeah.
Put your ass behind your back.
And then Mr. Rashard turns into like a damn demon got in him.
Yeah.
Right?
Starts assaulting the two police officers.
Actually punched one cop in the face, stole his taser, and took his taser.
Who punches a cop in the face?
That's like punching your 80-year-old grandma in the face.
Why would you do that?
I know who would do that.
A damn criminal would do that.
A thug.
It's like punching a pregnant woman in the stomach.
You're like, if mainstream media is trying to paint this picture that black men are being hunted down like animals, obviously Rayshard didn't get the memo because if I'm getting pulled over by two white cops, I'm being cordial.
Last thing I'm doing.
What, sir?
You want me to put my husband back in arrest?
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Yeah, last thing I'm doing is bow, punching him in the face and taking his taser.
The cops actually use restraint.
They showed a lot of restraint.
On the ground, he actually goes for the cop's taser and the cops tell him to get a handoff test.
They could have actually shot and killed him there.
When he stood up, he didn't throw the taser away.
He still had it.
They could have shot him there.
There's two opportunities these cops had an opportunity to shoot and kill this man.
What sealed the deal was when he took off running, he didn't throw the taser away, which tells me, it told these police officers, this dude's going to use this on me.
And sure enough, he turns around, turns around, and points a taser at a cop.
Who does that?
A thug, a criminal.
And they were not practicing social distancing.
They was well within six feet.
When he turned around that taser, he planned it on connecting.
Yeah.
He wanted to get away.
Who points a weapon at a police officer?
That dude committed like six felonies in seconds.
Strong-armed robbery.
Assault and battery.
D-UI.
You name it.
D-U-I.
It's just...
He insulted multiple police officers.
He probably committed eight felonies.
Yeah.
And if you want to get technical about it, and it was a shame he even brought up when he's having a conversation with the cops that he has three girls.
And it's like, I wish he'd have kept that in mind before he punched the cop in the face and he was like, before he stole his taser, before he pointed the taser.
I'm like, look, people are trying to say that his family came forward and said these cops should be arrested for murder.
Look, I would agree you, I would agree with you if Ray Shard, when he took off running, if he'd have never turned around and they shot him in the back, I would agree with you.
But when he stole the taser, took off running, and turned around and pointed the taser at the officer, that goes out the window.
That cop has an he he has a right to defend himself because his life matters just as much as Ray Shard's.
Ray Shard doesn't care about his life or anybody else's life.
Ray Shard is dead because Ray Shard don't want to follow the rules.
Ray Shard don't want to keep his hands to himself.
Ray Shard doesn't practice self-accountability.
If this guy was, if Ray Shard was white, Wendy's would still be selling chicken sandwich.
They burned the damn Wendy's down.
I'm starting to get it now.
Black Lives Matter, all that, I'm starting to get it now.
Y'all don't care that the officers was in the right.
Y'all don't care that the black man, Ray Shard, was committing a crime.
All y'all care about is two white police officers killed another black man.
That's all y'all care about.
Y'all don't care about the facts of the incident that would occur.
Y'all don't care.
All y'all care about is the cops are white.
Yeah, you're blinded by color.
Yeah, that's the problem with Black Lives Matter and the people who support them.
You let race cloud your judgment.
You need to be objective and look at the facts of this incident.
Like, Candace Owens brought up, she did a video on Facebook that went viral.
And she made valid points.
It wasn't opinions.
She made valid points.
It's a valid facts.
She said the black community is the only community who will protest justified shootings.
They will protest criminals.
Thugs.
Doing criminal activity.
Interacting with police officers and they will protest that death.
Like white people, they ain't protesting this.
Yeah, they see this.
They'll be like, man, this dude had this coming.
Yeah.
And these cops are not racist thugs hunting down black folks, man.
They gave, they showed so much restraint.
I wish all cops would show this much restraint as these two police officers.
Because they had every opportunity to kill that man before he even took off running.
Yeah.
Every opportunity.
They showed more restraint than most police officers.
And these men have been fired.
The mayor has not did anything for these two men.
Spotless Mayor.
What's the name?
Bottoms?
What a name for a mayor.
Sound like a stripper.
And these two cops have been fired, man.
Well, they're going to probably get the jobs back.
Accountability for Black Lives Matter00:01:10
I'm thinking.
They should have even never got to that point.
They got to fight for that.
I mean, what do the cop, I mean, the only way cops can, you can end these shooters is if these cops get these damn, like that damn predator, shooting them damn nets at people that covers the whole body up.
Cover the whole body up.
Until then, I mean, why don't y'all put this out there to people who interact with cops?
Look, when you resist arrest, when you take police officers' guns, when you take their tasers, you're putting your life at risk.
Practice some self-accountability.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Don't drink and drive.
Don't break the law.
Do the right thing.
Read a Bible from time to time.
Don't punch your in the face.
And people, especially white people with your white guilt, you keep supporting this organization, Black Lives Matter.
Look where all those donations are going.
It's not going to black people.
It's not going to black schools.
It's not going to black communities.
It's not helping black people.
All that money that's going to Black Lives Matter is being donated to politicians.
Democrats.
Not black people.
You are supporting a lie, and it's only hurting black folks.
