The cops said they saw a taser. Youre either blind or stupid.I see a gun in his handsHe didnt have a gun so why do you keep saying he shot at the cops?If he wasn’t violent and didn’t shot at the officers then you could be right. I like to good ole day Dirty HarryThe fact is that he broke protocol when he shot a fleeing suspect.Felony assault on a police officer while resisting arrest, stealing an officer’s taser weapon, pointing it at him at point blank range, & firing it at him, may result in the fatal use of force. Facts matterNo he knew it was a taser. He even was caught on video saying that.So he should wait to see if was a taser lolid wait for the investigation to be over firstIf that were true then he would be a millionaire already. He obviously was fired for breaking protocol.He was fired for political reasons, every one knows that..Thats not what the DA or the police chief said when the soon to be charged ex-cop was fired.According to police protocol he was a threat. Change the lawsUntil he took their weapon from them.
If the cop deserves to be reprimanded in any way, it's for letting a suspect take his taser.
That was 100% the cops' fault. They got into a physical altercation during which, through their sheer incompetence, they escalated the situation so that Brooks then conceivably posed some danger to others. Not only that, they failed to control him and let him escape with that taser. Then, after Brooks had fired the taser, and posed a threat to no one, they shot him dead.
And you still insist that was a "good job". That's what I would have fully expected from rightards - and they rarely disappoint. But you? Boggles the mind.
