    Listen, I am with you on unnecessary violence that black people have endured in our Country. But you are completely wrong on this particular situation. Brooks was under the influence in a motor vehicle. He resisted arrest, he assaulted the Cops with his fists and with a deadly weapon. The Cop is completely justified in using deadly force.

    A complaint was called in and the police investigated. Sleeping in the drive-thru lane is not normal behavior.

    His BAC was 0.1. About 3-4 beers. Thats not close to losing consciousness.

    They gave him a sobriety test for 40 minutes before trying to handcuff him.

    You've already tried to claim he was shot 2X in the chest. Your input on the topic is not to be taken seriously.

    When armchair QBs think they can be a cops they end up “dead” over and over again in every scenario.



    I particularly enjoyed how this activist murdered a completely innocent unarmed man. :)

    Everyone who thinks cops should have ESP should take a class to realize how clueless they are and how quickly they would die on the job.

    I enjoy posting it because it’s the closest thing to reality for these ignorant people.

    What does that have to do with an open or closed mind?

    Yes. He did.

    And then continued running and got shot in the back.

    So what do you believe the Cop should have done? Let him go?
    He already is being arrested for being under the influence, resisting arrest and assault with a deadly weapon.

    Unfortunately, that is not the case. Especially after you resist arrest and assault a Police Officer with a deadly weapon.

    Don't resist, assault & run, you won't get shot at. Why is this so difficult to understand?

    Are there bad Cops? Absolutely as the George Floyd murderers have proven there are. But what this Cop in Atlanta did is justified. He is not a bad Cop.

    Don't you understand? If a cop feels his life is in danger, he can stop that situation in it's tracks. If a person doesn't want to end up dead, then they shouldn't threaten the life of a police officer. It's really that simple. If he would have cooperated, he would still be alive. It's not a hard concept to understand.

    .108 .....DUI plain and simple and he was passed out, I await the toxicology report. And we don't know yet if the had run him through their computer and knew he was on probation for felony abuse of a child and fleeing the state previously.

    Because he turned his back after using a firearm, a lethal weapon against a police officer as he tried to escape. Justified shooting.

    Let him go is their only answer. Guess how many criminals facing going back to prison will now resist arrest and use deadly force now because they know the police will let them go.

    No, the point is that had NOTHING to do with this incident.

    The police had no right to operate on that information even if they heard about it.

    The police don't get to choose whose life is worthless. That has no part in their job.

    This is just plain bull. Sorry.

    It's not a justification for shooting an unarmed man in the back.

    And, suggesting that this guy was a threat to life is ridiculous.

    He was being arrested for driving under the influence. Then he began resisting arrest and assaulted the Police Officers with his fists & a deadly weapon.

    The Cop was justified in taking him down with lethal force.

    He was a threat to the police officers the moment he began assaulting them with his fists & a deadly weapon.

    The murder charge from the DA has no chance in hell of ever being in any Courtroom in Georgia.

    He was shot in the back when it was known he had no weapon of any kind.

    He died in the hospital after the police gave no assistance as he layed in the street.

    We'll see.

    I don't see any way for that number to be consistent with the victim's performance in that extensive sobriety test.

    There is nothing to be seen, he blew OVER the legal limit PERIOD. Try that when you get a DUI, "but your honor I didn't feel drunk!" well fire the police. And again you weren't there looking into his eyes, smelling his breath.

    Now you just want to skip to the ened, fill in the blanks.

    You went from being asleep in his car to executed, that is a lie of omission. Fill in what happened in between.

    It probably had everything to do with this incident. If he were to be arrested for DUI while on probation, he would would go straight to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200. He didn't want that to happen so he fought then fled.

    The police had every right to operate on that information once that determined that he was intoxicated in a moving vehicle. Actually, they have that right even if he were to have a tail light out.

    The police do get to choose the best way to defend their life, it is absolutely part of their job and they owe it to their family to come home safe every day.

    As opposed to the input of those who go to great lengths to defend the actions of known career criminals on the basis of their skin color alone?
