Shooting of Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta

That the officer was fired without due process.

 

I wonder if the Democrats have the fortitude to take on the public service unions.

 

Mr. Brooks still posed a credible threat. The taser could still be used to jack another vehicle. He could then use that vehicle to kill or seriously injure others. Remember he was still drunk. According to the video that I have seen, there did not seem to be anyone in that direction. But that is far from conclusive from that angle. Given what I have seen, the shooting was justified. Several other officers, former officers that I have seen interviewed by the media has said that they would have done the same thing.

 

Attacking a Union? That would be shooting them selves in a part of their bodies known as the back side.

 

But the unions protect the racist officers that shoot black people for no reason. NOT taking on the police unions will raise the ire of the #BLMob.

 

"According to the Fulton County medical examiner, the manner of death of Rayshard Brooks was "homicide." He suffered two gunshots to the back that caused organ injuries and blood loss."

Strange none of the right-wingers here have addressed these facts.

 

Homicide:
The act of one human killing another.

No one questions, or questioned, this.

 

I put up two facts and you raced away from the pertinent one. Typical right wing blinders and deliberate deflection from the pertinent facts.

 

No one questions the facts:
The man was obviously killed by bullets, obviously fired by another person - thus, homicide.
Why do you think you have a point here?

 

...In the back...

They knew who he was
They knew where he lived
They had his car
He wouldn't have gone far being drunk and running away from two cops who were in better shape than he was.
They could have called for back up to help catch him
None of what he did deserved a death sentence.

 

LMAO.
Please, keep it up.

 

So, you can;t tell us why you think you have a point.
Thanks.

 

Fleeing felon - drunk, in possession of a police weapon, after committing 2 or more felonious assaults on a police officer, and thus an immediate threat to the people in the surrounding area.
Good shoot.

 

Only if you think cops should also be judge, jury and executioner.. Then again, being you...

 

Ah.
You choose to not understand that shooting a fleeing felon has nothing to do with being judge, jury or executioner.
Sorry. Can't help you there.

 

Coming from someone who ignores suspects getting shot in the back, you accusing other people of not understanding anything is hypocritical.

 

So, you STILL can't tell us why you think you have a point.
Thanks.

 

You're the only one here who doesn't get the point. It took another poster to point it out to you and you are still ignoring it.

No problem. On your way,the adults here know the score.

 

Please - explain what point you think is made by the facts you presented.

 

Again,

In the back... which mean that at that point he wasn't a threat. If he was charging the cops it would be different, but since he was running away the cops executed him.

 

Sounds like republican are saying we should not take on the police unions

the problem with police unions is the da,cops and the courts and the unions are all on the same side, there is no yin and yang

 

Especially in this case when the cops knew the protests happening and the possibility of riots breaking out because of their actions

the cops should have let the drunk man go, they had his car and pictures of him on their cop cam, they could have picked him up later easily

 

You probably are correct from enforcements point of view. No argument at all there. I have a problem with how he got away in the 1st place. Two police officers give a man a sobriety test.When they see he is blowing illegal and decide they are taking him in, one backs up 6ft. with his hands on his taser and says....."partner, we are taking you in, my partner is going to gently cuff you, if you resist, I WILL bring you to your knees, understand? Then the arrest proceeds. If they are going to use the method they employed, they should at least learn how to fight. Take some Jujitsu or something! It is their responsibility to not let things escalate. I do believe police were within their rights in what they did but this was sloppy as hell. We citizens will pay the price for this due to the political climate. We already have.

 

Police have the power of lethal force. Face it. There lives are often in jeopardy. They are the line between citizens and evil. Dangerous job. Next time you need to call 911 , make sure you have a judge and jury waiting for when the police arrive!

 

In a sense you are right, however, he forfeited his right to life when he paused and fired a taser at officers. That's just a sad fact. Perhaps it could have been done differently.
