Trump: Brooks shooting was justified

(NBC News) President Trump on Wednesday implied the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks by an Atlanta police officer was justified.

“You can’t resist a police officer like that. Look at the way it ended, very bad,” Mr. Trump said during a phone interview on Fox News.
