Atlanta, June 17 (RHC)-- Activists in the United States have created an online petition demanding justice for Rayshard Brooks.  The petition has gathered over 52,000 signatures. 

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottoms announced immediate reforms within the police department, including orders requiring police officers to de-escalate situations and imposing a duty to intervene when officers see another officer using excessive force.

Bottoms said that when she saw the death of Rayshard Brooks, she said she could not wait for an advisory council to come up with recommendations to reform the police.  "It was clear that we do not have another day, another minute, another hour, to waste," she said.

She said the police must find a better way to handle confrontations, and said she is heartbroken over Brooks' death.  "It pissed me off, it makes me sad, it makes me frustrated, and there's nothing I can say that will change what happened Friday."
