Atlanta's police chief resigned Saturday, less than 24 hours after a black man was killed by an Atlanta officer in a struggle following a field sobriety test. GBI director Vic Reynolds said Brooks snatched an officer's Taser and pointed it back at the officer while fleeing. Protesters gather Saturday near a Wendy's restaurant in Atlanta after a man was shot and killed in a late-night struggle with Atlanta police. During a short foot chase Brooks "turns around and it appears at that time he points a Taser at an Atlanta officer," Reynolds said. That's when the officer drew his gun and shot Brooks, he said, estimating the officer fired three times.
