Abrams calls for police accountability and de-escalation, mourns Brooks

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams tweeted a brief statement Tuesday in the wake of a special prosecutor’s decision not to pursue charges against officers involved in the Rayshard Brooks shooting.

My prayers are with the family and loved ones of Rayshard Brooks.

Accountability is an essential component for community trust and public safety — a component that is in question today.

Deescalation, co-responders and transparency must become the expected standards.
