I'm so glad you brought up that point. Just a week or two before Paul Howard called a taser a deadly weapon. Let's make something very clear. If you fight with the police at the Very minimum you're going to take an ass whooping. If you get a weapon from a officer then you are going to have a problem with lead poisoning. Are all police officers bad no should bad cops be Prosecuted Hell yes. I grew up in the Atlanta metro area back in the 80's a rap artist had a song about an Atlanta officer they called pac-man because he didn't arrest the dope boys he just took their drugs. There will always be good cops and bad cops but in the end most just want to do some good and go home. As for Queen Keisha that little girls death is on her head as she told the police to do nothing. I'm afraid that the socialist scum will get their wish and defund the police and regular citizens will pay the price.

There should be a "like" button on here. It's early in the year, but I'd wager this post will stand up for the duration of the year as post of the year. Lots of truths in this post, but I've been saying for years people need to wake up and look at the reckless spending that's going on in this country- it's going to be our ruination.

Outstanding post JMAP!

Brooks was intoxicated, actively resisted a lawful arrest (he punched the officers) and was armed with a weapon (the taser) if the officers reasonably felt they were in jeopardy of serious bodily injury or death. They were authorized and trained to meet that threat with deadly. Force. Like the 6 officers fired and tried in Baltimore after the Freddie gray incident, these officers will be cleared of any wrong doing and get issued a rather large check. I hope the police start cracking more heads in the atl, so I can feel confident about returning to the city. Covid doesn't scare me. Thugs do.

In your world, if you resist being arrested, you should be killed? Or does thinking just apply to non-white citizens? Well shoot the guy in the video, he's resisting and disrespecting the police officers!

Since when is a used taser a lethal weapon? Breaking news: Fleeing suspect kills 2 police officers with 1 used taser while running away and firing backwards all while being inebriated. Give me a break! Protect and Serve? And they fired weapons and rounds and actually struck a car of a motorist. Now if he had their firearm? Definitely lawful shooting. If he was such a danger, call for backup immediately, surround him immediately, not have a 30 minute conversation. Really? In the majority of cases, Cops are not suppose to be the judge and jury or are they? Yes! I AM biased and apparently, and so are some are you. Biases come from life experiences, so everyone has them. My bias comes from being pulled over several times a year for driving an expensive car and that's my suspected crime.

Shit stain? LOL. Again, if he was a "shit stain", arrest immediately. Don't give me his offenses or blotter after the fact for a justification.

I'll agree with the latter statement, and therein lies the problem. The mayor's standards blow with the political winds. If you think it's just about the money, which isn't that great at an average of $43.2 k / year according to the BLS (and that's 13% below the national average, by the way, according to Indeed.com), then you're dead wrong, which is literally the consequences these officers potentially face. When the mayor neuters the police force by firing them for performing their duties and defending themselves in the line of duty, second-guessing split-second decisions in life-threatening situations that she's never had to face, going on live TV the next day critiquing those actions and saying they make her sick before any investigation has been performed, then you're not going to have a motivated police force, regardless of the stellar pay you're claiming, which I also disagree with. I'll tell you whose actions make me sick, and it's the Mayor's. The DA Paul Howard already got what he deserved and got the boot by the voters for his part in bringing charges against those officers, who will no doubt eventually be exonerated. Lance-Bottoms is paying the price now for her actions, and hopefully will get the boot as well for throwing those officers under the bus.

There are plenty of police reforms that need to take place and plenty of bad officers, but this was not an example of that. If you saw the way these officers handled that arrest, they did not initiate or escalate the situation, and were very respectful. The mayor used this solely for personal political gain at the expense of the police.

A tazer is not a lethal weapon. And when some white kid can go into a school and kill dozens of people or blow up a bomb in a crowd then kill a cop while on the run. That's not enough to have cops fearful enough to commit murder but a black man running for them pissing on themselves. Full grown men with firearms surrounded by other full grown men similarly armed scared of one black man. I can provide you video evidence proof on how much cops go out of their way to not kill other white citizens but get trigger happy when it's a minority. These see the facts. Just like y'all want to point out facts when it supports your argument don't ignore the facts that support the alternative.

https://youtu.be/V-vGp5uOjL4

I couldn't find the one I seen earlier but this is similar. In the one in thinking of they stop this guy for a different reason then he tells the female officer he has a licensed firearm in the trunk of the vehicle. They never had any reason to ask him to step out the vehicle until that. The scary ass female officer told the male officer she didn't feel comfortable. The black guy asked to speak to a supervisor for his safety because she was already acting suspect. After he made that request she pulled out her pistol and pointed out at the guys head. These are the type of officers y'all defending. Dude could have lost his life over nothing. So miss me with that fearful for their lives bs. I've seen plenty of videos where people put themselves in the position to be confronted by law enforcement just so they can exercise their rights. Yah its black folks don't have that luxury. Maybe our family might get a big pay day while some people like y'all defend the senseless murder or bring up our past like that somehow justifies our murder.

Those lazy entitled 13 percenters are at it again? Have you sat inside of a live classroom in an inner city public school lately? The public school system, especially in the inner city is absolute trash! They don't teach those kids anything barely beyond Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and Christopher Columbus discovered America nonsense.

They need to teach those kids critical thinking skills amongst many other things. You are correct about 1 thing though. Those 13 percenters do need to be reformed and educated (about the American criminal (supposedly justice) monetary system and how it works). The school system in itself is racially biased and its handicapping the 13 percenters. They're not learning any real life skills in school and most of them graduate or are pushed out of high school and are scratching their asses the very next day, trying to figure out what to do next.

The media is also hugely to blame for this nonsense. First, they have you sheeple afraid to come outside because of the Budweiser virus. Then, a few weeks or months later, they have y'all marching in the streets for "Black Lives Matter". I saw the Rashard Brooks video and George Foreman or whatever his name is video. Not 1 of those instances had anything to do with racism. They were just 2 stupid black men that wouldn't follow orders and resisted arrest the whole time.

The media painted that whole narrative of police killing black men, because the people above and behind the scenes who pull the strings, wanted to show themselves how easy it is to make you sheeple go backwards and forward to their every command. Many of those so-called protesters are government plants, put there to enrage the masses. The people above and behind the scenes are looking down at you mindless sheep from the 50th floor of their skycraper and laughing at you sheeple as you are afraid to be closer than 6 feet next to your fellow man.

They have you sheeple like ventriloquist dummies moving backwards and forward to their every command. And let me not talk about the foreigners who come to America as asylum seekers (Syria, Afghanistan, etc) and they give them free housing and education. Yet, you have these fucking homeless downtown that can't even get a free tent from the gubment. To tell you the truth, this whole American justice, criminal monetary system is rotten from the core / top down.

Do you not see how much pork the Coronavirus stimulus relief bill has in it. These fuckers are sending millions of dollars to countries like Cambodia to feed the sea whales over there or some shit. They're giving "shithole countries" millions while giving American individuals a measly $600 each. Really? Can that even pay a month's rent in Atlanta? Smdh. Before you sheeple talk about the miseducation and reformation of the 13 percenters, you need to talk about the miseducation and reformation of the American government that created and continues to create the lost, confused, pants sagging 13 percenters through media, music industry, education system which the American government controls. They've been doing this ever since Christopher Columbus set his thieving foot on Red America!

Lastly, before I leave to go do some 13 percenter hood rat shit, I'd like to touch on that Coronavirus relief bill nonsense. Yo, this has got to be the world's dumbest economically ran country that I've ever seen. This country is in like a gazillion dollar debt and these fools are giving away money as if it's growing on trees. Well, it must be since their giving millions to "shithole countries" and hundreds to individual Americans.

I've never seen so much wreckless loose spending in my entire life. If it wasn't for the American military and it's enforcement of the universal use of the American dollars (which is backed by nothing and printed freely and wildly by the US government) you sheeple in America would be eating out of the trash can. The Asians corner the market with cheap quality goods while the Americans flood the market with expensive junk and wreckless spending habits. No wonder the 13 percenters are like what they are now. Look who's educating or miseducating them.

Someone who thinks that fixing an economy can be done by printing free money and giving pennies to individuals. Yes, I'm 10,000 dollars past due on my mortgage, so I'm gunna print up these free worthless American dollars in my basement. Spend 90% of it at the strip club making it rain, then spend the remaining 10 percent on my past due mortgage. Smdh. This is exactly what the American government is doing. And these are the people that are suppose to educate and reform the 13 percenters? LOL. OK. Like father, like son.

Those 13 percenters are only the by product of the 80 percenters who are continuously poisoning them with purposeful miseducation, criminal monetary system injustice, purposeful media misinformation and narratives, music industry trash, etc. Just look and listen to a NBA ball player, like LeBron James when he's giving a public speech. That knee grow talks with a 5th grade level education. "We was going to press them on the defensive end". LeBron James is a product of the shitty inner city public school system. He's making millions and not even the coaches or media workers can teach him proper grammar and diction before he takes his illiterate ass on T talking about Black Lives Matter.

Yes, he fired a lethal weapon at the police officers. Now you may want to argue that it could not fire a 3rd time but I contest that law enforcement should not be required to remember when being shot at just how many shots a weapon has discharged. As the Kimmer used to say, "Pay attention children, if you point a weapon at a police officer, they may shoot you dead. ".

The officer's have rightfully decided to do the bare minimum. Prior to 2020 , I had been to Atlanta twice. In 2020 I went to Atlanta 4 times (follies in March, the tilted kilt (April) strokers and the new follies in December. I have money to spend and that I want to spend, but I refuse to spend it in Atlanta. To be blunt I am scared. Riots. The bottle boys and now they want to disarm people at the mall? (they installed medal detectors) nope not for I. I will be avoiding atlanta till they get things under control.

Crime in the atl is out of control!

Sad but true. I carry a subcompact pistol in my backpack at all times. Maybe it's time to carry my full size on my hip at all times as well. Except when going into a strip club or on a plane of course, LOL. (Remember you need a conceal carry permit for this to be legal.).

I have to share a recent story. I invited an escort to a hotel and because of all the dangerous stories lately, had my pistol tucked behind the small of my back. Not so much because of her but in case she had a handler or some other nefarious character along. She walks in and everything is good. She then goes to hug me and I hadn't put away the pistol yet so she jumps wondering what's going on when she feels it. I had to quickly explain and put it away real quick and gave her the donation asap! Everything worked out in the end, just wanted to share an amusing experience.

It's called Urban Hunting. There's a couple youtube channels I watch of some guys in GA that do the same thing. If you walk behind some shopping plazas that have heavily wooded areas, there are some spots where guys have cams set up to track deer to hunt.
