Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields resigned on Saturday following the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks, 27, outside of a Wendy's drive-thru late on Friday night. Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced Shield's resignation, saying the city's top cop offered to 'immediately step aside as police chief so that the city may move forward, with urgency, in rebuilding the trust so desperately needed throughout our communities.' Meanwhile, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has released new surveillance footage of the moment of the fatal shooting, which has already drawn massive protests and allegations of racism and police brutality. Atlanta police were called to the restaurant on a complaint that a man was sleeping in a car blocking the drive-thru lane as customers waited in line. Police say he failed a field sobriety test and then began to fight as the officers tried to arrest him. Previously released bystander video showed Brooks grappling with two officers on the pavement, throwing punches, and grabbing one of the officer's tasers. The other officer fires his taser at Brooks, which appears to have no effect, and Brooks sprints away. The newly released surveillance video shows Brooks fleeing across the parking lot from officers, and turning and pointing something at the police, which the GBI said was the stolen police taser. An officer then drops the taser that he had fired at Brooks, retrieves his service gun from its holster, and fires at Brooks.
