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

Then give it a try.

Totally false, yet you continue to push out that false narrative.

 

Are you really that not understanding of the very narrative you are promoting?

 

He was violently attacking the cops a moment before he was shot. He was shooting a taser. A drunk man trying to escape police is certainly a danger to everyone. They kidnap people. They steal cars. They run into traffic. They get into car chases. They invade people’s homes and take hostages. How is a man who violently assaulted cops and shot their own weapons at them NOT dangerous. You live in fantasy troll land because you can’t possibly be serious with the crap you’re selling.

 

I said narrative not narration learn to English.

 

OK, so to you $10K is WAY more important than a human life.

So, what is the break point?

And, let's keep in mind that SOME states view the value of a human life a ZERO - failing to prosecute cases where the offense was comming to the person's door and ringing the doorbell.

The guy at my house was weaing WAY more than a winter coat. It looked like he was basically wearing his wardrobe, as those without housing sometimes do in the winter. There are plenty of other issues with this as well - distance, what they had for tasers, etc.

The bottom line is that the policemen (plural) at my home stated that they didn't fire, because they believed there was a good chance that it wouldn't work.

The guy in the video is an obvious crank. If he wants to make a claim like that, he needs to pace off the distance between the officer and the victim, account for the officer's actual dress, and then shoot in the manner of the victime - looking over his shoulder backwards while running away.

The point is that there was hardly any danger involved here, and the guy WAS unarmed when he was shot

Plus, it would have to be the same taser - as I pointed out, they are not all equal.

I DID do the same thing. I got him to stop bashing my house and to explain what it was that he wanted. It turns out that he wanted the keys to my care. So, we talked about where he wanted to go, who would be there to help him, and all the crap that follows on that.

When the poilce came he just turned around to face the street and stood there. But, he made it clear he wasn't going to be arrested.

And, the police did that, too. They spent time asking questions, talking about options, ensuring him that he was safe and that they were going to take care of him, etc. They also didn't move to restrain him until there were at least 4 cops present.

I think that's one of the larger issues here. There isn't a need for some sort of immediate action by the one or two cops first on the scene.

Overall, the victim just wasn't a lethal threat, and in fact was totally unarmed when he was shot in the back and left to die in the street.

 

You go show me that he was pointing a taser at somebody laying on the ground. Point remains... tasers are used by cops against cops on training. It's not considered lethal if it was. And so the guy posed no real danger.

 

Cops use tasers on each other during training. There are vids out there that prove that. It's insane to rant on how dangerous a taser is, when it's not. It's not as if the cops shoot with their guns at each other.

 

He received some medical attention. Big deal. You act as if he had be transported to the ER and lied in a coma. That is seriously hurt, but he wasn't.

 

Resisting arrest is not punishable by some law to be executed. The cops did that, and broke the law. Get over it.

 

That makes him an ex-convict and not a felon.

That posed no serious thread to anybody.

He was snoozing behind the wheel.

It's does not. Cops use tasers on each other during training. That's well known. Vids are out there. They don't shoot each other with guns during training.... because that is lethal.

 

Says nothing what you claim. And breaking into a car is totally not the same as snoozing in your own car. It's just insane you think it is.

you go source that.

 

Someone violently breaking up a home is a threat and can be shot.

Matters not a TASER even if a person is wearing body armor will still penetrate and take the person down.

Again false 25 feet is a long enough distance for a TASER to do it's job and as explained they all fire the same darts.

Bull, you made that up and have been proven to be wrong.

More BS, how the officer was dressed has nothing to do with deploying a TASER, nor does someone looking over their shoulder, you're really striking out with your total lack on knowledge of TASER's..

Once again incorrect he was armed with a deadly weapon.

Again incorrect the darts they fire are all the same, all that varies is the length of the conductors.

And he still did 10K of damage, tell us another fairy tale, did you also bake him a cake too?

Then if he fails to surrender tase him, at that point you have just blown every myth you just posted out of the water.

Yea right while you served tea.

A DA in Georgia disagrees with you.

Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Paul Howard Jr. said in 2020 that “under Georgia law, a taser is considered as a deadly weapon.” A 2012 study published in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation found that Tasers can cause "ventricular arrhythmias, sudden cardiac arrest and even death." At least 49 people died in 2018 after being shocked by police with a Taser.

 

As already noted you are once again incorrect.

The TASER device is a less-lethal, not non-lethal, weapon. It is a brand of conducted electrical weapon sold by Axon, formerly TASER International.

Reuters reported that more than 1,000 people shocked with a Taser by police died through the end of 2018

 

The DA doesn't charge people who are dead.

 

I don't care what you think a black man deserves. This is about the law.

 

True it's all about the law and he broke the law by pointing a deadly weapon at a law enforcement officer and that is why he assumed room temperature.

 

If a violent felon turns and shoots something at an officer, then the officer is entitled to defend his own life. That is something that you cannot comprehend.

 

It cannot be comprehended because that would destroy the anti-cop narrative being presented.

 

"Nothing wrong with shooting as long as the right people get shot"
Harry Francis Callaghan

 

Denying reality ultimately serves no legitimate purpose.

What factors? Name them. Spell them out.

Explain precisely how. Having already physically assaulted two law enforcement officers for attempting to perform a lawful arrest, how was he not considered a danger?

If an individual has already proven conclusively, beyond reasonable doubt, that they are willing to assault anyone who gets in the way of what they want, how should they be treated and regarded?

Once an individual has engaged in felony assault, and used potentially lethal force against another, for no other reason than the simple fact they were in the way at the time, how else should they be treated and seen? Once one has demonstrated they have no regard for human life, why should they ever be given the benefit of the doubt?

One either abides by the rules of society, or they do not.

 

He was sentenced to seven years in prison for physically abusing the both of them. He was neither a father, nor a husband.

Then the individual in question should not have been operating a motor vehicle while in a physically intoxicated state, with a blood alcohol level over thirteen times the legal limit, to the point of passing out. Nor should he have decided to resist arrest, to the point of physically assaulting two law enforcement officers.

 

Except he did not serve the full sentence for his latest criminal conviction, as he was releases early due to the coronavirus panic. Therefore he was a convicted felon at the time.

Pray tell, exactly what part of "physically assault two law enforcement officers" was missed by yourself?

With a blood alcohol level more than thirteen times the legal limit. Operation of a motor vehicle while in an intoxicated state is a serious felony offense. To say nothing of the danger he posed to others through the act of simply getting there.

And such stunning devices are equally capable of proving lethal when used, especially to those with underlying health conditions. They are classified as being less-lethal, not non-lethal.

 

Do you have an issue with comprehension, because you totally misread what was clearly stated.

 

if they don't act like one, the police won't treat them like one

 

Thank you for correcting me. Interesting article on tasers failing and why they most likely failed. The article focuses on tasers made by Axon because they dominate the market, especially with police departments.
