Atlanta on edge, nervous, over officer involved death of Rayshard Brooks

If this doesn't prove we need to get rid of the 1900s police good old boy system, nothing will! Sad!!!

At some point after failing the sobriety test and realizing he's going to jail for DUI, he struggles when being put into the police car, grabs the officers taser, and takes off on foot. The officer chases him, and from what I have heard, surveillance video shows that the suspect stops, turns, and points the taser at the officer, at which point he opens fire.

If these details prove to be untrue, then yeah we have a police brutality issue on our hands. But if they are accurate, then what was the officer supposed to do? Get tasered and incapacitated? Let the suspect run off with his weapon?

Do people have the right to murder a cop who's threatening to taser them???????

NO. Therefore, neither does a cop have the right to murder someone who has a taser in their hand.

Black People should expect not being treated like Arabs in Syria, murdered in droves by Obama's and Trump's storm troopers.

Atlanta Police should be disbanded and rebuilt from the bottom up with White Racists, Nazis, Ku Klux Klansmen, and Zionist murderers.

Wtf? Black people? KKK? WHite racists? Are we living a loony world? Its Kardashian world!

This is about criminals resisting arrest. This isn't about any normal people. If you are a criminal and you resist arrest you're increasing the chance that harm may come towards you. If you pity this POS then you yourself are the problem.

The officer shot him while he was running away. But did he need to shot to kill? Couldn't he shoot him the the leg or buttox? It sure looks like he is trying kill him in the video.

Cops are trained to shoot to kill.

Atlanta on edge, nevous, expecting expecting Violent Uprising Extreme Insurrection, looting, Riots, deaths over execution of Rayshard Brooks by Atlanta Police.

Here is what I think:

There are people who never fought the police yet, they were shot.

We've seen a lot of videos of people who never fought back yet they were shot.

Erick Garner and George Floyd come to mind.

The young boy called Tameer Rice as well.

So, this man Rayshard Brooks perhaps felt that he was better of fighting because either way, people get killed. He did.

He somehow escaped being shot during the scuffle but after he ran and fired a taser gun at them, they still shot.

Black people it seems are in a quandary as to what to do in certain circumstances.

It is sad.

Incorrect: Eric Garner resisted arrest. George Floyd resisted arrest.

Here's different video than the one already posted above:

What an inflammatory title to this thread..."execution".. really?

Talk about a poor choice of words.

The correct term is "Officer involved shooting"

LOL...nope. That terms a farce. It means a an officer shot someone...so that's what we should say.

Or was he involved another way?

Is this term ever used when the police get shot? I mean officers are pretty involved with it when they get shot.

The story said that the guy had the taser and turned toward the officer what do you suggest the officer do, get tased and let the guy then take his gun, if you did nothing wrong then don't run, don't give me the crap that they would have killed the guy even if he did not run. So maybe we just let everyone do what they want so their feelings don't get hurt, let's see how that works

Yep...in this day & age police are going to have to let people arrested for crimes have the benefit. If they resist let them go and go get an arrest warrant later. If they have a gun don't shoot unless fired upon. If they're in handcuffs and say they "can't breath" then uncuff them as quickly as possible and get them medical treatment. And no one should ever be physically arrested for a misdemeanor crime. And in this shooting, the officer should probably be charged with first degree murder in an effort to calm down the rioters.

If the police don't make major changes and give the benefit to the people being arrested then more & more cases like this will occur. And since of the government can not control and is scared to death of the violent protesters & rioters, these people will literally take over this country city by city. It will be complete anarchy and all of us will be at the mercy of the protesters. ?

I got Dui couple years ago but i am alive now because i did not fight police and tried to tase them

"officer involved shooting" = shot a guy running away with a stolen taser in the back from more than ten yards away.

Watch the video. They shot him in the back as he ran away. He beat both their asses and took a taser and gangster cops can't let than pass.

Dave Chapelle's take

Isn't it amazing that in 2020 the police are killing perfect little angels, and perfect little angels are now looting and burning down America?

What a time we live in.

Did the deceased do ANYTHING wrong in your eyes?

I’ll wait for the investigation to unfold, but it seems like if he had made a different decision on any number of things prior to getting shot, he’d likely still be alive:

He chose to get drunk

He chose to get behind a wheel of a car drunk

He chose to lie to the police

He chose to resist arrest

He chose to strike a police officer

He chose to take the officer’s taser

He chose to attempt to flee the scene of a legitimate arrest

He chose to fire the taser at the officer

Harm may come your way? You mean the cops might shoot you in the back.

Use truthful language

Sleeping in a drive through is not a capital offense.

Resisting arrest is not a capital offense.

Stealing a police officer's taser is not a capital offense.

.

Agreed .

But trying to tase a cop can be a deadly offense.

You left that out.

So are you saying the cops should not chase anyone who runs from them?

I am saying they should not backshoot someone running away whose crime is possible drunk driving and resisting arrest and whose only weapon is a cop's taser he has already fired
