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

But that is not what happened is it? You are re-writing events to suit your agenda. He did not take a Copper's gun. He took what was a totally harmless taser, and that was well known by the killing Cop.

No, he didn’t have to die. He should have complied with the officer, spent the night in the tank, and been released the next morning. Or would the arrest been a violation causing his parole to be revoked therefore facing some serious time behind bars?

 

Haha he was clearly assaulting the officers in this attempt to flee from a lawful arrest

He fired the taser at the officers after he took it from the officer in his escape attempt.

the GBI isn’t even done with their investigation. This is a straight up lynch mob...that history has shown the left often resorts to because their left wing leaders have no backbone over mobs

 

not only that say it only puts the officer down...what happens then if this fleeing felon takes the officer’s firearm? He’s already shown he cares very little for human life and is desperate who knows what he would do or harm after if he had a gun. A officer needs to think of the public at large at that point

 

Tasers and other similar devices are not non-lethal, they are less-than-lethal. Meaning they are not designed specifically to kill, but are still quite capable of causing death when used.

It is no different than a crowbar, hammer, or any other tool commonly available at any hardware store. It is designed purely for construction-related purposes, but it becomes a deadly weapon if the individual wielding it starts to physically assault another with it.

 

If the individual in question was truly intoxicated to the point of losing consciousness, did he even have the mental capacity to know for certain that what he stole was not a firearm?

 

It most certainly would have. He was serving a seven year prison term for beating his children. The only reason he was released was due to panic related to the coronavirus. Had he been arrested for intoxication it would have been a violation of his parole and he would have gone right back to prison to serve out his sentence.

 

LOL. Closed mind.

You are the one that thinks the shooting and killing was the only option.
Do you know what closed mind is? I am open minded suggesting other options than shooting someone in the back.

 

An already used taser, that ins't life threatening weapon. He might as well had a water pistol.

 

lawmakers regard it as non-lethal.

Who cares what you think.

 

Since it's regarded as non-lethal... means it's not a significant threat.

 

First, if the individual in question was truly intoxicated to the point of losing consciousness, did he even have the mental capacity to know for certain that what he stole was not a firearm?

Second, tasers are not limited exclusively to a single usage and then rendered harmless immediately afterward. They retain contact use, meaning they can be used like any other electrical stunning device on the market, meaning it is still potentially lethal just like any knife.

 

The article refers to tasers and stunning devices as being non-lethal. The politician they are cited made no such claim.

 

Just saw this morning On ABC the other officer is being charged with assault? WTF are cops supposed to do now? Just allow themselves to be beat up by these animals? The cops in Atlanta are already threatening to walk on this one. GOOD. Let the city burn? They didn’t show the guy punching and knocking down the cops. Didn’t mention the drunk driving. All they show was him running. This is incredible what the MSM is doing to this country.

The news described this guy as a family man and showed these cute family photos. What the flying **** is going on? This is incredible.

 

Nope. That part 2 is not subjective one bit since the guy had no cause to seriously hurt anybody when he escaped. You're just making it up as if he's some serial killer or something. And white cops frequently lynch black people. Cities pay millions in damages, while cops get away with it.

 

That has already been posted in this tread.

 

He fired the taser at the officer

 

"Probable cause to believe" is just as subjective today as it was in the 70's when the Sheriff of Dekalb County shot a WHITE thief running away to the getaway car where he collapsed right at the curb (see Rayburn L. Bonner). The criminal had already demonstrated "cause" to seriously hurt when he fought and punched the cop and grabbed the "available" weapon to use for hurt.

There will still be jury selection; you can hope you get Only Black Live Matter all over it, but that might not happen.

 

If you want the police to keep their hands in the pockets and let blacks run rampant over society - sure.
Oh wait. You do.

 

Irrelevant - he's in control of the motor vehicle.

 

If someone uses, or threatens to use, a taser on you, it is legal for you to use deadly force in self-defense.

 

Your excuse is that a cop might have a high blood pressure? lol
Sounds to me such a cop should be having a duty at the desk if it's in that shape.

 

In the older days a predominantly white jury would have been found. And we all know how they would vote in these cases. Not to worry.... nothing much has changed.

 

The suspect did not prove to be so violent that there was a fear of great bodily harm or a fear to kill. That is required by law in order for a cop to kill somebody. Since that requirement aint there... means the cop committed murder.

 

Course there was, he presented immediate threat to life, how you can fail to have empathy for these poor officers is beyond me?
