Rayshard Brooks' wife speaks out after Atlanta police shooting: "I can never get my husband back"

CA, 15 Jun 2020
Tomika Miller, the widow of Rayshard Brooks, spoke out on Monday following the fatal police shooting of her husband in Atlanta, Georgia on Friday. Miller implored the public to continue protesting peacefully in her husband's name.

Alongside her children, Blessing, Memory and Dream, she told the room of reporters: "I can ever get my husband back. I can never get my best friend. I can never tell my daughter. Oh, he's coming to take you swimming lessons" but that she's thankful for "what everyone has been doing" including the protests demanding justice for Brooks.

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.
