Man dies after being shot by Atlanta police at Wendy’s drive-thru

One did nothing wrong at all, he was chasing the criminal with a taser, never pulled his firearm, and crumped on the car for some strange reason, only the one that shot the guy did anything wrong. Probably a lack of training, so let's defund that, really? Two of my family members were shot in back and killed, so don't get me wrong with the following:

99% wrong, shooting in back, 1% possible justification. From the side view we see the criminal running, we see the pursuit with taser, we see criminal turn to shoot officer, we see officer hit car. From the view of the shooter, we don't know what he saw, or thought he saw, it could have looked like the officer with the taser was hit, and disabled, and the drunk criminal jogged left and it looked from perspective like he was turning around to finish the job on the disabled cop on the car. We don't know, what the defense will be, trial will tell.

Up until the shooting, the first guy was nice, they were both nice as could be to a lying criminal. If the criminal who attacked and pointed a weapon at the officer had just took his night in jail all would be fine.

So let's fund police training, and all politicians calling for defunding should never hold political office ever. And let's fund anger management for all Only Black Lives Matter incendiaries, assaulters, looters, and interstate blockers...; teach them not to be jerks, that Only All Lives Matter, and not to punch police, not to try or take police weapons, not to point weapons at police, and take their night in jail.

 

This idiot was shot for being an idiot. He should have gotten a Biggie Fries instead of fighting the cops.

 

Tasers don't kill, especially at a distance, and the officer knew it was a taser because he took from the officer.

 

Execution is not a commensurate sentence for being an idiot, but a verbal chastising might work.

 

If Democrats want to get rid of their police departments, have at it. Those of us living in crime-free conservative communities will keep ours, thank you very much.

All we ask is that you do not move to our communities, counties and states.... ever. We have the right of self-determination and that includes living in communities that share our values without the persecution of liberals.

 

Autopsy says he was shot in the back, twice. And that killed him. And having a taser is not having a deadly weapon. Cops just executed him because he got away. That's it. And last time I checked,... we can't have cops executing people around who pose no danger. And ones again... white cop executes a black man. It's typical.

 

It is only "typical" in an election year. Democrats have to motivate blacks to vote for them by using fear.

The cops have a duty to stop a fleeing felon.

 

It depends. If someone is being an idiot with cops then getting capped is on the table.

 

Really.... turning around and finish it off? Finish it off with WHAT? He couldn't finish off anything with a taser! And it's just 1 drunk vs 2 cops. How on earth can you even think he could finish off anything? You're just talking the nonsense of the cops. Turning around... while being shot in the back, twice... how does that work? At what point are you able to think for yourself that it is what it is. A black guy got away, and he was simply shot in the back, twice... like it's freaking judge Dredd who is allowed to execute a criminal on the streets in a movie.

 

You go source they got a right to shoot a fleeing person in the back that poses no danger.

 

LOL! It is a cops duty to stop a filthy fleeing felon.

 

This post reveals the true feelings of the "right". Righties don't think that they should care about black people.

 

We've got the actual numbers we had and they were ALL improving including the LFPR and blacks were seeing the BEST numbers ever recorded and let's not forget wage and salary increases. There was no disaster.

 

we think we should care about all people. Defunding the police is the opposite of that. That will only benefit criminals. We also realize that burning down cities is not good for anyone. Apparently the left is too slow to figure that out.

 

How many unarmed blacks were killed last year and how many of those unjustified?

 

That would be the case if we were talking about "fix black families". We were talking about "fix families" as some sort of solution and @Louisiana75 countered wondering why the "right" should care about black families.

 

You believing that is an example of systemic racism that exists in our society. You see "black people everywhere" you think they are overrunning our nation.

12.3% of the US population is black.

This sounds like this stupid mayor in Atlanta who said on CNN yesterday that she watched the video and was thinking "just let him go, just let him go"?? WHAT!!!

The man was being arrested on a criminal charge DUI. The officers had treated him respectfully and where absolutely following procedures, except why they let him park the car when it was already suspected he was under the influence is puzzling but it was actually giving him a break. He then committed another felony when he resisted arrest, another when he struck the officers with his fist, another when he grabbed the officers weapon indicating he was trying to harm the officers, another when he then fled and another when he tried, with a weapon, to disable an officer at the least. And yes some TASERS are double shot. He was a dangerous fleeing felon at that point. A danger to the public and a danger to any police who would have to track him down and take him into custody if he successfully fled the scene. Necessary force was used to stop him. YES the officers ramp up their suspicions when a person being peacefully arrested suddenly engages in such a violent act as to what else is it that he is committing multiple felonies attacking police to avoid being arrested, what else has he done.

 

No, it is one FELON vs 2 cops:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleeing_felon_rule

Cop was on car for some reason, disabled maybe, unable to prevent criminal (with a history of stealing police weapons) from taking his gun. The officer who shot, could have seen what did not happen, like when cars pull out on motorcycles because their mind changes what they see (Saccadic Masking...). And the officer could have misunderstood training on the above fleeing felon rule. What was the training? If training adequate, no need for police chief to quit. Simple fact is, it was not murder, it was tragic, manslaughter maybe, depending upon training, but not murder.

We do not have the straight on view of the officer who shot, if say for instance the criminal turned left, to go where he pointed out where the house was, it could have looked like he was coming back. Could be headlights blinding the officer, distorting view... You're just talking bias of Only Black Lives Matter, not Only All Lives Matter. I did not say the criminal FELON turned around after being shot. I am suggesting it could have looked like he was changing direction, to steal the other gun after disabling the officer stuck to the car, before the other officer fired on the fleeing FELON.

How many had weapons planted? And please don't say it is just TV shows that this happens with.

The point is the percentage of blacks vs whites that are shot during arrests. And is not not just the taking of lives but the imprisonment of blacks and them losing their lives in that manner. The rates for backs going to prison for the same crimes compared to the white criminals is obsene even after taking into consideration for economic background. Middle class black kids get prison more often for the same crime as whites with similar crimes.
Look at Cocaine crimes. Blacks us the derivative crack which is cheaper per dose, whites use coke, being in possession of crack with intent to distribute gets treated more harshly than coke. Same basic drug. Black use crack- Whites powder.

Spare me the conspiracies.

Post the number then. But if you are armed and using that while committing a crime or resisting arrest there is a VERY good chance you will be shot or killed the race does not matter. And when those rates are adjusted for priors and severity of the crime those disparities go away. Crack/cocaine sentencing has been equalized and let's not forget it was black leaders who were demanding the higher sentences back with crack was an epidemic in the black community and causing great harm to that community.

 

How did he become my hero, why do you guys come with this hero BS. Floyd is just one of MANY and the people are feed up with this BS, alot of whites are feed up and that is why they are in the streets protesting as well.

 

Not good on listening to boot lickin Toms.

 

NS, did you just come up with that.
