Martin Luther King III weighs in on Rayshard Brooks’ death

ATLANTA — The son of one of our nation’s most influential civil rights leaders is weighing in on Rayshard Brooks’ death.

“It is very difficult to define what justice is. Tragically, a building was burned down but that building can be re-erected. How do you re-erect a human life?” said Martin Luther King III.

The son of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said we have to find ways to address these problems and before something like this happens again.

Brooks was shot and killed by Atlanta police officers who responded to a Wendy’s drive-thru where the father of 4 was sleeping in his car.

The shooting spawned protests and calls for justice. The Atlanta police chief stepped down and the firing of an officer.
