Black Georgia Sheriff Says Brook's Shooting Justifiable Use of Force

[BlindBoo]

I think the cop would have shot a White man if he had bested them while they were trying to arrest him and he stole a taser and pointed at a chasing officers.

That wouldn't be right either.

 

[Preacher]

When I was part of the Security Force, we were taught to deescalate a situation. The person who had the taser didn't have lethal force in their hands, and the cops should not have shot him. That isn't deescalation, that is actually escalation, responding to non lethal force with lethal.

According to the law any electronic weapon that has more than 20k volts is considered a lethal weapon. So

Not in Georgia.

Yes in Georgia. I live here I would know.

The sheriff is right

This is the split second before Brooks was shot...

He had his back to the officer running away with a empty tazer...

Explain how that is a justifiable killing?

First he resisted arrest. Next he took the cop’s weapon. Then he pointed it at one of them. When he took the weapon it was justified. He earned that bullet.

You don't earn bullets...

Was the officers life at risk or in serious danger?

Brooks had a spent tazer and was running away...

Police are not allow to dispense summary justice.

 

[CowboyTed]

Of course it was. I laugh at the people who say they should have just let him run away from the beginning of the chase.

Because that is a great idea. Let a desperate and aggressive drunk man who has been convicted of several violent felonies loose in downtown Atlanta with a taser. Fantastic.

And once he used the taser? 100% justified.

I don't care what color your skin is if you beat down two cops steal a taser run away and aim that taser at one of the cops you will be shot.....any fool knows this.....any fool that isn't a race baiting cop hater....

You guys do realize that tasers only carry 2-3 shots each, right? And, the taser he took had already been fired once, then he fired it over his shoulder when he was running (and missed), so the most he could have left would be just 1 shot left (more than likely it was empty though). And, there were 2 police on the scene, meaning that if 1 had managed to get shot, there would be 1 left to handle the situation against an unarmed man.

Wrong....as was obvious from the video, two cops could not control him...to the point he got away, after taking the taser.......for all the perp knew he had a gun, not the taser. Then, having tasere one officer, that would have left him facing just one officer, when two couldn't control him.....he could have fought the other officer and gotten his gun or the other officers gun...

You guys just don't understand anything pertaining to the real world...

He was frisked so they know he was unarmed and he was running away... That is on the video...

You're going to have to tell us which video - there's more than one - and the exact point at which he was frisked, because none of the video I've seen have indicated that.

Also, they knew he WASN'T unarmed, because he stole the cop's Taser. That really IS on the video. Moron.

Fuck it are you with the program... Is this clear enough...

The tazer was shot therefore the cartilage is spent... It best chance of hurting someone is if you throw it at someone...


Simply put : Was the officers life at risk or in serious danger?

Please show us his criminal record?

Otherwise I am calling bullshit...

So now you're denying he had a criminal record, for some obscure purpose?

Simply put: you're still making a lot of ASSumptions and demanding that people argue as if they are true.

Fuck YOU.

A taser looks just like a gun when its pointed at you.....in the dark while you are chasing someone....give it a try and see for yourself....if they charge these two cops they will get off....and then we will have more riots....

And suspects aren’t allowed to point weapons at the police after taking their weapon.

Police tasers are a 2 shot weapon at most if they shoot the darts (this one did). He had been tased by one of the cops (that's how he grabbed the taser), and then shot it over his shoulder, missing the cops. He wouldn't have any way to use the weapon again until he got more cartridges. The only way it could have harmed anyone is if he threw it at them.

And no, his running away didn't pose a threat to the cops. Maybe the reason the officer shot him in the back was because he was too lazy to chase him down.

Yep. You must stop a fleeing felon facing serious jail time because there is no telling how many people he will kill to stay out of jail. Very dangerous person.

Correct. Fleeing Felon Rule.

He posed a threat to "others" in the community.

They weren't responding to non lethal force. They were responding to a felon about to escape out into the community. Cops followed proper procedure. DA is a lying POS, looking to get re-elected to a $185,00/yr job.

Yeah, he did fire a shot from the taser, the last one that it had. After he had fired it, the taser was no longer a weapon, but just a piece of plastic and metal. It would need to be reloaded again in order for it to be a weapon.
