Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottoms said on Friday she would issue a series of administrative orders to accelerate a review of policing in the wake of the police shooting of Rayshard Brooks.

Bottoms, speaking at a city council meeting, said it was "abundantly clear" there was a "comprehensive need" to take a look at the police department's use of force and the training of police officers. (reporting by Nathan Layne in Wilton, Connecticut, Editing by Franklin Paul)
