It's Monday, June 15th. I'm Ekela Hughes.

And I'm Gideon Resnick and this is what a day where we don't feel like ourselves anymore

unless we have our face masks on.

It's true. I wear it in the shower. I'm basically a never nude now because of this face mask.

I, uh, it's glued to my body at this point.

On today's show, protests continue and violence against the black trans community comes into focus.

Then some headlines.

But first the latest, I do not believe that this was a justified use of deadly force and have called for the immediate

termination of the officer.

That was Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance bottoms this weekend following yet another instance of a white police officer shooting and killing a

black man. His name was Rayshard Brooks. He was 27.

Bottoms also announced that Atlanta's police chief would be voluntarily stepping down on Sunday.

The officer who shot Brooks was fired.

A local district attorney said there could be charges as soon as this week.

But let's start with what we know about what happened here.

Yeah. So this is slowly coming into focus over the weekend from videos and the Georgia Bureau of investigation.

But what we know is that Brooks had fallen asleep in his car at a Wendy's drive through Atlanta on Friday night when officers were called and arrived at the scene.

After officers arrived, Brooks pulled into a parking space to get out of the way of other cars.

And he was asked to take a breathalyzer test.

He said to the officers that he'd been drinking to celebrate his daughter's birthday and asked if he could just leave his car there and walk to his sister's

place nearby. But after the breathalyzer test, one of the officers tried to arrest him and in the process of handcuffing Brooks resisted.

He and the two officers ended up on the ground and one of the officers told Brooks that he was going to tease him.
