Those police were called there, it's not like they were looking for trouble. And they were trying to make an arrest, and it had nothing to do with his offenses or blotter after the fact. His resisting arrest is what had to do with his offenses, and why the situation unfortunately turned deadly. I'm not going to sit here and say all the right decisions were made, but I'm also not going to sit here and say that I would have made all the right decisions in the heat of the moment either. The fact is Mr. Brooks created a life-threatening situation by wrestling with armed police officers, striking them, and taking their weapons and using them against them. The taser could have disabled those officers and then who knows what? Certainly there have been many officers killed in the line of duty where struggles just like this started. It's easy in hindsight to look at the video and say what could have been done, but in the heat of the moment with adrenaline going and your life on the line, you're not always thinking your clearest, and instincts do take over. It's unfortunate what happened but that situation was clearly created and escalated by Mr. Brooks, and for you to turn that around and make it the officers' responsibility is just wrong. Walk a mile if you dare....

In the heat of the moment, anything and everything can happen and go wrong. Personally, I'm more to the point: If you're drunk driving, go to jail. Having a conversation with a drunk person is like having a conversation with an angry woman. Both are a waste of time when it's happening. Hell, in a tussle, "I" may have shot him in that same scenario. Knowing drunks like I do (LOL), I know how belligerent and aggressive they can become. We've all seen them. Some fall asleep, some want to fight. I'm not trying to find out which route the person's personality is going to take. That's just me. I guess they thought he would go peacefully. The character assessments come in afterwards, good or bad, which people latch onto to try and make a case or break a case.

So this man was running away with a knife. What did the cop fear? That the man was going to throw the knife back like some martial arts movie and hit him bullseye in the heart? The cops excuse is some complete ass pull defense. He shot to kill point blank period. Dude was just lucky the cop sucks at his job. You know shooting. My problem only has to do about the use of deadly force. Again my previous post. White guy with an assault rifle.

Cop politely asks the citizen Sir can you please put that gun down? Thank you. Black guy with a tazer, a knife, fucking unarmed, being black. Oh shit cop pisses on himself and empties his clip. I swear this shit sounds so retarded until you rewind the tape and actually see it in action..

Social experiment on cops.. Black Man With Gun vs. White Man With Gun.

Cop vs White man with gun.

Cop:"I need to see your I. D."

White Male:"No".

Cop:"Why not?

White Male:"Because I'm not doing any crime."

Cop:"Okay."

Cop vs Blackman with gun.

Cop: "Drop to the ground now".

Black male: Says nothing & complies immediately.

None of that matters. Shit stain avoided a lawful arrest and escalated the situation. No need to try to choreograph exactly what you think should happen.

I will continue to give my thoughts, opinions, and choreography, whether you agree or not. That's what we all do on this board.

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.

You can get an Amen and an Awomen!

On another note let's go away from the black vs cops thing. What y'all think about Daniel Shaver, the white guy at the hotel nearly pissing on himself afraid of dying. Huh? Was that not a use of unnecessary lethal force? The cop was not only acquitted but was secretly allowed back in the force long enough to collect disability and / or a pension. Talk about fucked up. But we don't need police reform huh.

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....

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.

[Game Cock Too]

Ability. Opportunity jeopardy. The police had the right and obligation to terminate brooks when he punched one or both of them. The removal of the taser only added to his level of dangerous. Brooks took a very simple dui arrest and turned into a major incident. Instead of congratulating the cops for defending themselves and removing a clearly violent and dangerous individual, they made the cop the bad guys and taught the masses to verbally and physically fight the cops every step. So the cops have learned it does not pay to engage with Any suspect for any reason, so they don't. Traffic stops are down 44% in Atlanta. . because it doesn't pay to be pro active. With all that currently is going on in Atlanta I will advoid atlanta. I carry a gun everywhere I go, but I don't want to use it and it seems my chances greatly increase in Atlanta because of lack of police intervention. So I will just stay home. Brooks, Brown, king, Blake, garner all have 1 thing in common they resisted a lawful arrest. We do not need police reform, we need to reform and educate a certain % of the population. Maybe 13.

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!

I watched the entire video; you obviously did not or are extremely biased. You failed to acknowledge that the drunken ass clown fired at the cop. As for cops that can't handle the job, there are plenty and they need to go.

As for Brooks, there's one less shit stain on the streets, and that's what really matters.

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 Luv Emall]

APD is one of the highest paid police departments in the country. When sworn in the mayor of Atlanta provided a raise for all officers before any other legislation was passed. Accountability and satisfactory performance is determined by the mayor's standards.

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.

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.
