The family of Rayshard Brooks, whose death sparked protests in Atlanta over the weekend, said they were "heartbroken" and "tired" of the racial injustice that they said led to Brooks' death at the hands of Atlanta police.

"We're tired and we are frustrated. Most importantly we're heartbroken, so we need justice for Rayshard Brooks," his cousin, Tiara Brooks, said at a news conference.

Atlanta police video released Sunday showing a seemingly routine sobriety check outside a Wendy’s restaurant that quickly spun out of control, ending in gunfire. The killing of the 27-year-old Black man in an encounter with two white officers late Friday led to protests in Atlanta and prompted the police chief’s resignation.

The officer that shot Brooks has been fired. Brooks' death has been ruled a homicide.
