The details wrong. But as far as i know, you have probably seen the video or read the story. Rayshard was in his car in a wendys drive thru. He was drunk or tip see or he had had alcohol and he fell asleep. Fell asleep, people are driving around his car. And so somebody at the windies called the cops. The cops arrived at wendys and they get rayshard out of the car. And they Start Talking to him for about 30 minutes. Asking him, is he drunk, why is he driving, what is going on.
