What threat was he to the cop when he was shot in the back?
Brooks resisted arrest, assaulted a police officer, then shot at a police officer with a stun gun he had stolen from the police officer.
How many police officers have been shot, beaten, injured, ambushed, run over, and killed since these 'protests' started?
Brooks' actions go far beyond 'disrespecting' the police. When someone demonstrates the willingness to assault and shoot a policeman he is not only a threat to the police but to the community as well.
Respect goes 2 ways. Want to be respected by the police, then start respecting the police.
'Don't want none? Then don't start none.' -- Don't want to get shot? Don't resist arrest, don't assault a policeman, don't try to shoot a policeman.
It's not rocket-science, and people of all color are smarter than Abrams / Abrams thinks they are - Brooks was not 'murdered' for sleeping in a fast food parking lot.
This had nothing to do with any protests.
It has to do with the use of deadly force and when deadly force is justified.
So tell me at the time the cop shot a man running away from him was that cop in any danger?
Absolutely. Just 1 second prior to that the cop has incapacitating taser barbs fly by his head from his own weapon. This guy needed to be put down immediately.
Good shoot.
Not at all.
You can see how wide the taser shot went on the video.
The fact is the cops were in absolutely no danger after Brooks dropped the taser and ran.
Please list the acceptable weapons criminals are allowed to fire at police officers before they can fire back.
Doesnt work like that retard. Cops are supposed to deal with any aggression in a like manner. Escalating to the use of a gun was a failure of protocol and the reason his ass is now an ex cop with soon to be murder/manslaughter charges on him.
Brooks shot a police officer. In a like manner the price officer shot back. Brooks had bad aim. The police officer did not.
With a NONLETHAL Taser that missed the cop by a mile
Non lethal is bs and you know it.
A TAser is considered a less than lethal weapon.
a criminal is a lethal weapon
That would be a great rationalization for police brutality. Cops can kill anyone based on their potential to become violent and be a danger to society.
Every time you post your arguments get weaker. I'm hearing that only 5% of calls to police departments involve violent crimes. Why are officers armed with deadly force being sent out to respond to the 95% of calls which don't involve violent crimes in their community?
Police could have taken Mr. Brooks up on his offer to walk home, they could have let him call a friend to take him home. Issuing him with a citation for driving while intoxicated. They could have done any number of things that didn't involve treating him like a menace to society, and ultimately, shooting him down in the Wendy's parking lot, endangering the public, and killing a man who really should be alive today.
Can it you Canadian sack of shit. The best predictor of future behavior; is past behavior. This piece of trash has a documented history of violent behavior. And towards children no less. That’s what earned him a 7 year sentence. But you and your shitskin buddy can keep mourning the death of this child predator. The rest of the sane world are just glad he’s dead.
