Atlanta burning: More racial tensions in US after another white cop on black man shooting

亚特兰大火上浇油：又一名黑人遭白人警察枪杀之后，美国的种族关系进一步紧张

WASHINGTON: A white police officer who shot dead a black man in Atlanta, Georgia, was summarily sacked and the city’s white police chief resigned, as racial tensions continued to torment America this weekend more than two weeks into the George Floyd murder protests that has spread across the country.

华盛顿：乔治亚州亚特兰大市一名白人警察开枪打死一名黑人后被立即解雇，该市的白人警察局长辞职。乔治·弗洛伊德谋杀案在全国蔓延两周多后，本周末种族紧张局势继续折磨着美国。

A Wendy’s fast food joint where the encounter took place was torched by an angry mob that blocked highways on Saturday in a city that has a majority black population -- in a state that only last week was embroiled in an electoral fiasco with allegations of African-Americans being disenfranchised to facilitate a white-driven Republican victory.

亚特兰大市是一个黑人占多数的城市，周六，一群愤怒的暴徒堵住了高速公路，纵火焚烧了案发地旁边的一家Wendy 's快餐店。就在上周，乔治亚州还因一场惨败的选举引发混乱，有人指控说，为了促成白人主导的共和党获胜，非裔美国人被剥夺了选举权。

Tensions are running high amid growing anger nationwide at America’s “killer cops” who employ deadly lethal force at the slightest provocation against black people, who are arrested, incarcerated, and killed by police in disproportionately larger numbers across the country. In Friday’s encounter, the victim, police first tried to arrest 27 year old Rayshard Brooks, when he was appeared to be intoxcated, after customers at a Wendy’s complained that he was asleep in his car and was blocking access to the drive-thru pick up window.

全国范围内对美国“杀手警察”的愤怒与日俱增，紧张局势愈演愈烈。只要对黑人稍有挑衅，这些警察就会使用致命武器，在全国范围内，被警察逮捕、监禁和杀害的黑人多得不成比例。在周五发生的案件中，警察首先试图逮捕27岁的布鲁克斯，当时他看起来是喝醉了，因为Wendy 's的顾客抱怨说他在车里睡觉，并且挡住了去餐厅外卖窗口的通道。

Body cam footage cited by the local media showed Brooks talking politely to two officers who arrive on the scene, claiming he has had only one and half daiquiris and is good to drive home, before they attempt to handcuff him after a breathalyzer test purportedly shows him to be intoxcated.

当地媒体的视频显示,布鲁克斯礼貌地和两名到达现场的警察交谈，声称他只喝了一杯半的鸡尾酒，可以开车回家。之后在酒精测试显示他喝醉后，警察试图给他戴上手铐。

In the ensuing struggle, Brooks appears to swing punches at Officer Garrett Rolfe, grabs his taser and makes a run, at which point the officer unholsters his gun and shoots him. Brooks died later in a hospital.

在接下来的打斗中，布鲁克斯似乎向警官加勒特·罗尔夫挥了几拳，抢了他的泰瑟枪逃跑，这时警官拔出枪，将他击毙。布鲁克斯后来在医院去世。

Rolfe was sacked from the force, and Officer Devin Bronsan, who was also present at the scene, was placed on administrative duty, even as the city’s Police Chief Erika Shields resigned her post as the black-majority city simmered.

罗尔夫被解除了警察职务，当时也在现场的德文·布朗桑警官被调去执行行政任务，而与此同时，在这个黑人占多数的城市陷入混乱之际，该市警察局长埃里卡·谢尔兹辞职了。

The militarization of the American police and the use of deadly force for minor offenses and at the slightest provocation has been a matter of concern among minorities who are at the receiving end of this and of civil liberties activists who have long cautioned against such hair-trigger responses by the heavily armed and well-funded police.

美国警察的军事化以及对轻微罪行和轻微挑衅使用致命武力一直是少数族裔和公民自由活动人士所关注的问题，他们是这种行为的受害者，而公民自由活动人士长期以来一直警告全副武装和资金充足的警察不要做出这种一触即发的反应。

Amid nationwide moves by progressive local lawmakers to reform police, including banning strong-arm methods such as chokeholds that has killed numerous black men, Trump has defended the techniques, saying they may be required in some cases to contain criminals and should not be banned outright. He has continually advocated a stronger police and military with ever higher budgets.

进步的地方议员在全国范围内采取行动改革警察制度，包括禁止使用暴力手段，比如掐脖子，这种手段已经杀死了许多黑人男子。特朗普为这些手段进行了辩护，称在某些情况下可能需要使用这些手段来遏制犯罪，不应该完全禁止。他一直主张提高预算来打造更强大的警察和军队。

Trump’s position, which political pundits say is aimed at consolidating white voters, came even as several polls show him trailing Democratic nominee Joe Biden by a huge double digit figures in a presidential election match-up, including losing the female and minority votes by record margins. But Democratic activists like Michael Moore are warning liberals not to be overconfident about defeating the President, arguing that this will only result in white males who “feel their grip on power fading” rallying behind Trump.

政治专家表示，特朗普的立场是为了拉拢白人选民，而与此同时，多项民调显示，特朗普在总统选举中以两位数的劣势落后于民*党总统候选人拜登，包括以创纪录的劣势失去女性和少数族裔的选票。但是，迈克尔·摩尔等民*党活动人士警告自由派人士，不要对击败总统过于自信，他们认为，这只会导致“感觉自己对权力的掌控正在减弱”的白人男性转而支持特朗普。

These tensions will lead to targeting of other minorities and immigrants as well. People need to be careful there.

这种紧张局势将导致其他少数族群和移民也成为被攻击的目标，人们要小心。

Pipe Kasuko

So they torched the plaza (Wendy's) where the guy was killed - Did that bring him back to life? Was that an extraction of revenge? What did the fast food place have to do with killing the guy. The guy was drunk, and fell asleep in the drive-thru, blocking others from getting their orders

他们放火烧毁了那家Wendy's餐厅——这能让死者复活了吗?

这是复仇吗?

快餐店跟死者有什么关系?

那家伙喝醉了，堵住了取餐通道。

This is nothing but sponsored by opposition to defeat Trump ...also must have a hand as a catalyst in this situation...it ardently wants to defeat Trump...

But the poor Americans will loose a lot and their downward jouney as a Super power will start...

这完全是反对派发起的，目的是打败特朗普……此外，可能会暗中火上浇油……

但是损失最大的还是美国人，美国作为超级大国正在走下坡路

I think there was no need to shoot at chest or abdomen where it is likely to Proove fatal, if etall the shooting was required. He was not a known dreaded hardcore criminal or terrorist. Obviously he was an ordinary citizen tying to evade arrest.

Democrats party is behaving like Congress in India. They are doing everything and convert every situation including the human crisis into their political advantage. People should be very careful in judging the next President. Past Presidents like Obama and Clinton worked against the interests of USA and supported too much and so much that has now become a big threat for even the USA. Byden would be no less and he would spoil USA further. If the people of USA are really intellignet and right thinking, unbiased with long term interets of USA would certainly vote for Trump with bigger majority than before so that would be shown its place in the world.

美国民*党在就像印度的国大党一样。他们不惜一切把每一种情况，包括人类危机，转化为他们的政治优势。人们在选择下一任总统时应该非常谨慎。像奥巴马和克林顿等前总统都违背了美国的利益，太支持了，以至于现在对美国来说是一个威胁。
