Atlanta is burning down, because of another black thug.

[Vandalshandle]

Not sure the shooting was completely justified. The guy was running away and tried to fire the taser over his shoulder. Not much of a threat.

And they had his car and know who he is.

That’s a judgment a lot easier for you to make watching on a video than being there live having it happen to you

I agree. But when a suspect if running away, they are not an eminent threat.

They are when they fire a weapon at you while running away

The People could argue in court that the suspect had demonstrated that he was willing to shoot a cop, and that the cops did not know whether or not the suspect had a second unfired weapon that he might be willing to use, but I doubt if the jury would have bought that as justifiable homocide, in view of the fact that the tazer was no longer loaded at the time he was killed.

A taser is not loaded. A taser deploys tiny fish hook like projectiles that pierce the skin. The hooks are attached to wires and electric current disables the victim. If used improperly it can cause cardiac arrest. It is not difficult to kill someone with a taser. It is not a toy. It is a true weapon that incapacitates if used properly, and can kill if used improperly.

He had already fired it at the cop. Therefore, it was UNLOADED.

And even if it is non-lethal, that could incapacitate a police officer who is actually caring a firearm. Now this idiot criminal has access to a firearm.

Anybody trying to incapacity to police officer is an imminent threat to society and must be put down immediately. Officers do not have a choice in that situation. They must put this person down or it is derelict of duty.

Man's death after police shooting outside Wendy's in Atlanta sparks investigation and protests

Atlanta police were called to the Wendy's for a report of a man asleep in the drive-thru. The incident ended with an officer shooting the man, who later died after surgery.

www.cnbc.com

He attacked the cops after they gave him a sobriety test and he failed and was being put under arrest and got ahold of the taser.

Couldn't you ask though why did they have to arrest him? Why not just call his family to come and pick him up so that he can get home safely? From what I have been reading and hearing he was not causing any problems leading up to that and was just asleep in a car.

He started fighting with them. The two officers could not hold him.

As bad as all this is, I feel somewhat thankful that Trump will poor gasoline on the fire by tomorrow morning with more racist tweets, which will drive the last two or three African-American supporters that he has left to abandon him.

Wrong, The vast majority of Black Americans are good law abiding people. They do not want murder, looting, and destruction of their neighborhoods any more than you do. For you to assume Black Americans support this type of violence and destruction is pretty damn racist.

Man's death after police shooting outside Wendy's in Atlanta sparks investigation and protests

Atlanta police were called to the Wendy's for a report of a man asleep in the drive-thru. The incident ended with an officer shooting the man, who later died after surgery.

www.cnbc.com

He attacked the cops after they gave him a sobriety test and he failed and was being put under arrest and got ahold of the taser.

That's no reason to shoot him fool. Why are police drawing weapons and shooting people over petty bullshit? Police are out of control.

You can’t just say I don’t want to be arrested and beat up cops. Are you listening to your self?

Why are police being called over petty shit - like there's a guy passed out in his car in the parking lot?

When police first encoutered George Floyd, their first thought was he was in medical distress, so they cuffed him?

What seems to be happening over and over is that police become enraged whenever a civilian offers "resistance", which can be as simple as questioning what the police are doing, or why they are being arrested, and they just start shooting.

The cop was shooting at that man as he ran away. Take their guns away, and stop sending armed cops out on petty shit.

Dragon Lady, he wasn't sleeping in the parking lot. He passed out in the drive thru lane. Customers were having to drive around him, so they complained and Wendy's called the cops to handle it.

He failed a sobriety test, and when they attempted to arrest him, he began fighting them. He managed to get one of their tazers and began to run. They said they tazed him multiple times and it didn't slow him down. They began to chase him. But there is very clear video that he stopped running, turned around and shot the tazer straight at one of the cops. The cop dodged, then shot him. Brooks wasn't running. He was confronting the officer with what he had, a tazer, and he didn't just point it, he shot it.

The officer has been terminated. The Chief of Police has resigned.

And they had his car and know who he is.

He turned around and shot it at the cops, what if it hit him in the face? He could have disarmed the cop took his weapon

The suspect fired the taser before the officer drew his weapon. The taser was no longer a threat. He was not going to disarm the cop. He was going to run away. He could have been arrested later. They had his car and knew who he was.

Then how did two cops manage to fire it three times at him (witness video) and Brooks was still able to fire it again?

Even though he wasn't driving and was apparently sleeping? Doesn't this situation kindof hit on the ongoing topic of how the police should respond to calls? For me personally this is one of those situations where nobody has been harmed and clearly someone needs some help and so why not have the moment lend itself to an act of kindness by the police by helping him get over over the standard, some might say out-dated, method of going straight towards arresting?

They responded by giving him a sobriety test which he failed and would have spent a few hours MAX in detox at the jail and more than likely released. HE escalated it by attacking the cops over a small misdemeanor crime. Really dumb on his part. I don't care if he was white,black,asian or hispanic he brought it on himself.

He was DRUNK. Drunk and irrational. And in today's climate, anyone of colour waking up being attacked by police has reason to fear for his life.

Drunk and irrational is no reason to shoot him. They had his car. They knew who he was. They can arrest him when he sobers up.

That's not what happened. He was calm enough to move his car out of the drive thru lane, did the field sobriety test (which he failed) and THEN he freaked out, the two cops couldn't hold him.

Here's the final seconds, all on camera. Go to 28:30 And Winterborn is right. He was shooting over his shoulder.

he fell asleep in a fast food drive thru blocking other customers. Police were called, the man fails a field sobriety test, he refuses to be arrested, then starts physically fighting the cops and manages to get one of their tazers, then runs, turns, points it at them. What the fuck do you guys expect cops do today, join hands and sing Kumbaya ?

I'm not sure what all they said to him during the early moments but in my personal opinion they could have let him know that they were there to help him and not to harm him. They could have had him get out of the car and wait inside for a family member to come pick him up while his car was left overnight in the parking lot of the Wendy's. Even if they didn't do that and still did the field sobriety test and the handcuffing once he started to resist and run away they could have let him go since they had his car and could have easily found out where he lives and could have arrested him at another time after he sobered up. I'm just giving alternatives. Alternatives that emphasize de-escalation.

We were not there so we will never know. They could have not shown up at all too, right? There are a thousand "what if's". But the facts are this. He resisted arrest and took a cop's weapon. You don't get to do that.

That is true. However, I would say that once he started to run with the taser the officers could have stopped the pursuit and arrested him at another time. Just my personal opinion.

Just curious but where do they teach those law enforcement procedures? The guy was arrested because he failed a sobriety test. He resisted arrest by refusing to be handcuffed. Then he attacked the officers and took a weapon. Pointed the weapon at one of the officers who had no idea of the type of weapon. Then he ran. 5 offenses in less than a minute. The officers acted on instinct and reflexes. Therefore they were correct and I am sure alcohol won't be the only thing found in his system. Alcohol alone doesn't give someone the sudden brute strength to overpower 2 healthy cops who had him face down. Maybe one of them should have knelt on his neck.

You're right about the procedure. Wrong about trashing the victim at this point.

But of course, "victim" was a saint.
