Atlanta police chief resigns after fatal police shooting

亚特兰大发生致命枪击案，警察局长辞职

ATLANTA: Atlanta's police chief resigned Saturday hours after a black man was fatally shot by an officer in a struggle following a field sobriety test. Authorities said the slain man had grabbed an officer's Taser, but was running away when he was shot.

亚特兰大：周六亚特兰大警察局长辞职，就在数小时前，一名黑人男子在接受现场酒精测试后被一名警察开枪打死。当局表示，这名被杀男子抢了警察的泰瑟枪，在逃跑过程中被击毙。

Police Chief Erika Shields stepped down as the killing of 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks sparked a new wave of protests in Atlanta after turbulent demonstrations that followed the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis had simmered down.

明尼阿波利斯市的乔治·弗洛伊德之死引发的抗议活动已经平息，27岁的瑞哈德·布鲁克斯被杀事件在亚特兰大引发了新一轮的抗议活动，警察局长埃里卡·希尔兹随后辞职。

Protesters on Saturday night set fire to the Wendy's restaurant where Brooks was fatally shot the night before and blocked traffic on a nearby highway.

周六晚上，抗议者放火焚烧了前一晚布鲁克斯被枪杀处旁边的温迪斯餐馆餐厅，并阻塞了附近一条高速公路的交通。

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced the police chief's resignation at a Saturday afternoon news conference. The mayor also called for the immediate firing of the unidentified officer who opened fire at Brooks.

在周六下午的新闻发布会上，亚特兰大市长凯莎·兰斯·博顿斯宣布警察局长已辞职。市长还呼吁立即解雇向布鲁克斯开枪的警官。

“I do not believe that this was a justified use of deadly force and have called for the immediate termination of the officer," Bottoms said.

博顿斯称：“我认为没有必要使用致命武器，我呼吁立即解雇这名警官”。

She said it was Shields' own decision to step aside as police chief and that she would remain with the city in an undetermined role. Interim Corrections Chief Rodney Bryant would serve as interim police chief until a permanent replacement is found.

她说，希尔兹辞去警察局长一职是她自己的决定，她将继续在该市担任职务，但尚未确定。罗德尼·布莱恩特将担任临时警察局长，直到找到接替者。

Chris Stewart, an attorney for Brooks' family, said the officer who shot him should be charged for “an unjustified use of deadly force, which equals murder.”

克里斯·斯图尔特是布鲁克斯家人的律师，他说应该以“不正当使用致命武力，等同于谋杀”的罪名起诉枪杀布鲁克斯的警察。

He said Brooks was a father of four and had celebrated a daughter's eighth birthday Friday before he was killed.

他说，布鲁克斯是四个孩子的父亲，在他被杀之前，在周五为一个女儿庆祝了八岁生日。

The shooting came at a time of heightened tension over police brutality and calls for reforms across the U.S. following the May 25 death of Floyd in Minneapolis. Atlanta was among U.S. cities where large crowds of protesters took to the streets.

这起枪击事件发生之际，5月25日明尼阿波利斯市弗洛伊德死亡事件后，警方暴行引发了紧张局势，呼吁全美进行改革，各个城市都有大批抗议者走上街头包括亚特兰大。

Demonstrators, including members of Brooks' family, gathered Saturday outside the restaurant where he was shot.

周六，包括布鲁克斯家人在内的抗议者聚集在布鲁克斯被枪击的餐厅外。

Brooks died after being taken to an Atlanta hospital. One of the officers was treated and released for unspecified injuries.

布鲁克斯在被送往亚特兰大医院后死亡。其中一名警察因伤接受了治疗并被释放。

Watch the video...the black dude is a criminal who resisted arrest, ran away and then turned around and fired a taser at the cop who then shot him in self defense. Because Atlanta’s mayor is black, the cop is fired and chief had to resign.

看了视频，这名黑人犯了罪，他拒捕后逃跑，然后转身用泰瑟枪打警察，警察出于自卫向他开了枪。因为亚特兰大的市长是黑人，这名警察被解雇了，警长也不得不辞职。

With 90% of all incarcerated in jails across the US being blacks - most for murders and rapes, the latest incident spells another round of fraud protests by fake 'black lives matter' protesters. Most blacks in the US were murdered by other blacks. Black lives didn't seem to matter then!

美国监狱里90%的犯人都是黑人——大部分是因谋杀和强奸而入狱，这起事件引发了又一轮“黑人命也是命”的假抗议活动。大多数美国黑人是被其他黑人谋杀的，但在这种情况下黑人的命似乎并不重要!

Black Americans form only 13% of the US population but commit more than 50% of all murders in the country. Obviously not all black Americans are bad, but a significant amount commit crime. That is the reason why they get targeted by US police. Also George Floyd was a not an angel. He served several years in jail for armed robbery

黑人只占美国人口的13%，但美国全国50%以上的谋杀案是黑人犯下的。显然，并非所有的美国黑人都是坏人，但黑人的犯罪人数还是相当可观的。这就是他们成为美国警方目标的原因。乔治·弗洛伊德也不是什么天使，他之前因持械抢劫而坐了几年牢。

Blacks don't want to follow law, they want to sell drugs, involve in 50% crime cases, terrorise and loot white people in the night. but when police take action they cry

黑人不想遵守法律，他们想贩卖毒品，参与了50%的犯罪案件，在晚上抢劫恐吓白人。当警察采取行动时，他们会大声抗议。

这个黑人有暴力史。他喝醉了，抢了警察的泰瑟枪，然后转身试图攻击警察。而媒体声称他是因为种族主义歧视才被枪杀的?这种歇斯底里愈演愈烈，就越能帮助特朗普大赢!

Protests, arson, looting seems the new way of resolving issues! Why cannot the so called civilised society allow the legal system to prevail? Police brutality is not acceptable, but then is setting the restaurant on fire is acceptable?

抗议、纵火、抢劫似乎成了解决问题的新方式!

为什么所谓的文明社会不能用法律来解决问题?

警察的野蛮行径是不可接受的，但焚烧餐厅就可以接受吗?

Thousands died in India due to covid 19 mismanagement by state and central government and ministers. Any minister, official, top administrative fellow or his associates even not ready for an apology?. Resignation is very far from imagination in India, US police official's act must follow in India .

在印度，由于各邦和中央政府的部长们管理不善，数千人死亡。这些部长连道歉都没准备好，在印度辞职是遥不可及的事，印度官员必须向这位美国警察局长学习。
