Shooting of Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta

How do you charge while fleeing away and being shot in the back?

 

how do you grab a taser from a cop in the first place if you are "running away". Did he will it to his hand through the force?

 

Good thing he had not completed his Jedi training or he might have gotten a gun instead of a taser.

 

The only thing I can say is that a police officer is only supposed to shoot to kill, if or when his life is threatened and he's in danger of being killed.

 

When he was shot, was he running away or not. If he was running away than he wasn't a threat anymore.
Stealing something isn't a capital offense, unless you're a partisan of shariah law... Are you?

 

This is not true.
A police officer may shooting a fleeing felon, if he is armed and an immediate threat to others.

 

Why was it not? What type of offense would have needed to occur at the time to warrant deadly force being deployed in response?

 

There was no justified reason for the individual in question to be intoxicated while operating a motor vehicle, resist arrest, commit physical assault on a law enforcement officer, or steal law enforcement equipment.

Or is it going to be argued on the part of yourself, that the individual in question should be excused of their various felony-level offenses, and actually given a free pass?

 

Which offenses carry a death sentence in your system?

 

None of those are capital offences with a death sentence on the book.
My POV is that he should've been captured, sentenced and sent to prison for a long time. You seem to go with the death penality instead.

 

The individual in question chose to physically assault two law enforcement officers. In many states, even a private citizen would be justified in using deadly force if they are subjected to physical assault.

 

He had his chance to comply and go peacefully. He chose to do otherwise. Such individuals do not deserve sympathy, and will be awarded none whatsoever.

 

I guess not. I guess if someone runs into my house, steals something and runs out that they aren't technically a threat at that point. If that ever happens to me I guess according to you the right thing to do is wave goodbye to them? OK. That's some good logic right there. Thanks for enlightening me. You do NOT get physical with cops, period! Should they have let a drunk man run around the neighborhood with a tazer? Anyone he hurt would have been on the officer's back. You attack cops, you get put down, the end!

 

That;s why you have claymores set up to blow them back into the house.

 

Wasn't he already serving a 7 year sentence for mistreating his children and out on Corona parole?

 

I have no idea, why don't you post a link to that article? In any case, if that's true then he served his time and didn't deserve to be shot dead in the back. It makes you look so bad when you try to justify the senseless taking of a human life.

 

He resisted arrest. This doesn't justify a death sentence either.

 

You'd fit perfectly in a gestapo ruled nation! You spit on the sidewalk, here's a bullet for you. Crossing the street outside of the lines, Damn boy! That merit an execution with an AAA gun right there!

 

In most civilised nation, someone retreating isn't considered a threat and stealling doesn't merit capital punishment. The USA is slipping more and more toward shithole status...

The two cops could have run after the guy and call for backup. He wouldn't have made it far especially since they knew his name, his adress and had his car.

 

The fact he was a fleeing felon, however, means shooting him the back was a legitimate and legal act.

 

Is that a capital offense?

 

No it doesn't. If you think it does, please cite the law that says that a fleeing ex-fellon on a trafic stop can be shot in the back.

I believe people attacking cops are whats making it into a S-hole status. I guess we can agree to disagree here. I was always taught to respect the law and if they do something wrong, settle it in court. I guess we should just agree to disagree on this. . George Floyd was straight up police brutality and he was UNARMED but this other guy was ARMED so I don't think I'll ever agree on this situation.
