on the frontlines of Atlanta following the death of Rayshard Brooks, who was killed during an encounter with police earlier in June after falling asleep in a local Wendy's drive-thru lane. The 39-year-old understands law enforcement isn't going to be perfect but wants officers to be held accountable for their actions and to treat Black people"equally and fairly."
"When you arrest a Black man, we want you to treat him with the same level of aggression and intensity as you would a white man. That's all we're asking," he says."As far as legislation is concerned, I do believe that the impunity they operate with is something we should address. The abuse of power that leads to the murders of Black men at the hands of police, so many of them are racially charged, however, there is no federal hate crime.
Taking things a step further, Clark Atlanta University announced that they will be honoring the life of Brooks by extending a scholarship offer from the HBCU to each of his four children when they are set to head off to college. "What we concluded is if everyone does a little, nobody has to do a lot," Tip recalls of his candid conversation with CAU president George T. French Jr."We're doing all we can as a community to uplift the [Brooks] family here in Atlanta. If something happens to one of us, it could happen to any of us."
