The incident came after a call to police at 10:33 p.m. informed about a man sleeping in a parked vehicle in the restaurant's drive-thru lane, which made other people to drive around it, the GBI cited in its statement. Cops came and made a test on Brooks. He failed the test and resisted arrest.

Brooks’s wife, Tomika Miller, carried their infant child and said: “There’s no justice that can ever make me feel happy about what’s been done. I can never get my husband and best friend back. I’m scared every day my children go out, my family members go out, because I don’t know they are going to come home.

She also urged protesters to remain peaceful so that Brooks’ name could exist “positive and great”. She said that her husband’s death was the result of police holding all black people in fear.

“Our family’s trust in the police is broken. The only way to heal some of these wounds is through a conviction and the drastic change of the police department”, Brooks’s cousin, Tiara Brooks, said.

The 9-0 vote Monday came amid frustration with the Seattle Police who used tear gas to deter protesters just days after Mayor Jenny Durkan and Police Chief Carmen Best committed not to do so.

On Monday, Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best said, "It has been historically known through the evidence and other research that the use of CS gas, otherwise known as tear gas, can often be a less lethal way of dispersing a crowd without having to go hands on, without using our riot batons. So it has been determined to be less dangerous to do that. That said, it has been very clear to us that people are not wanting us to use the CS."

Legislation not only bans the use of chokeholds, lists them as an unlawful "use of force," but also opens the city up to lawsuits that could pay up to $100,000 in damages.

The Seattle Office of Police Accountability previously said that thousands of complaints regarding police misconduct during the George Floyd protests in Seattle has been reviewed and investigated. It announced a list of 10 cases it received the most complaints about, including the use of pepper spray on peaceful demonstrators, the use of flashbangs, and covering badge numbers.
