If I shot someone in the back, fleeing, there is no doubt in my mind, I would be charged with murder.

No doubt at all.

Then maybe he shouldn't have turned around and tried to shoot at the officers.

Stupid ass cop should have just let him lock his door and walk to his house like he said!
Now his daughter don’t have a father!
Fuck you police
 Quoting: Mr. Smokey



And next time he got in a car fuckin hammered and killed a family they could just let him walk it off to right?



I mean why have LAWS if there not enforced?

I just knew from the first cell vid that this was a justified shooting. Once the officer starts there investigation you are being detained...

When the officer went to arrest, and he fought back and stole the officers taser this became a justified shooting.

When he then fired the officers taser at the officer and they returned fire it became a justified shooting


Lawsuit liability. a drunk person is technically disabled and sick. can't be left alone to their own devices lest they get hit by a car or killed by a robber. cops only do that stupid shit in small villages and towns less than 1 mile wide.

Lastly, POST CERTIFICATION TRAINING CLEARLY STATES IT IS NOT LEGAL TO SHOOT A RETREATING SUSPECT IN THE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CASTLE LAW DOCTRINE: YOU CANNOT SHOOT A RETREATING BURGLAR IN THE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Empathy? Stfu you dumbass. I was run over by a drunk driver as a kid. I was almost killed. He could've cared less, atleast until he went to prison for it. Alcoholics don't care about anything except where the next drink is.

Yes say it again ...Alcoholics don't care about anything except where the next drink is. Just like druggies they would kill their own mother for it... God Bless our police and all who are trying to save the citizens of this nation.

If he's asleep in his car in a parking lot and not driving then why arrest him? Why not let him sleep it off? Of if they have to remove him from the lot why not just give him a ride home and tow the car? Why arrest him? Yes, it was stupid for him to have fought with the cops and shoot the taser at him but he seems the cops unnecessarily escalated things. Again...if this was a DUI and he was pulled over while driving I'd be more sympathetic to the cops. But the guy was parked and asleep. Gotta side against the cops on this one which is rare for me but they didn't handle this properly.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74058095


Because the government won't get any money this way. It's what they're trained to do.

I didn't read the article but if he was shot in the back then no it's not justified. Cops aren't allowed to do that, plain and simple. Doesn't matter if he took the taser or not. It would only be justified if he had a real weapon, not my opinion it's just how it works.

The family will get millions because of this.

I don't need to see the video, honestly. Maybe it was and I was wrong and maybe it wasn't.

If it was I could admit that.

See, the thing of it is though is that for most of you here the shooting has never *not* been justified. Now, presumably, you just have a way to extra justify it. Y'all can never accept anything is wrong with anything you are programmed to support.

If the perp fires a weapon at you (a bb gun, taser, even mace, and is running away after resisting arrest, assaulting officers, and stealing a weapon) you are justified.

The officer didn't murder this guy.

Not a good scenario at all, but the cop wasn't out of line.

I agree that the mayor should step down, too. She made the same rash judgements as many off a partial cell phone video. Not good leadership, there.

Re: The Shooting of Rayshard Brooks was Justified...New Video
You're incorrect.

Cops and their lawyers have argued again and again that a taser is non-lethal force. Court case after court case when alleged perpetrators have died, police have escaped responsibility because tasers are non-lethal weapons.

Cops getting certified to carry a taser are shot with a taser as part of the process. Because it's non-lethal.

That means that when a suspect pointed a non-lethal weapon and even shot a non-lethal weapon at the cop (who had to have been certified to carry a taser because he was carrying one) that cop knew he was dealing with established non-lethal force.

And unlawfully responded with deadly force against a fleeing suspect who was shot repeatedly in the back and killed.

A cop can't reasonably declare a taser non-lethal while also claiming a taser made them fear for their life. A cop not in fear of losing their life has no legal justification for repeatedly shooting a fleeing suspect.
 Quoting: EliseM1896


The dead man fired the taser at the cop and missed by a country mile, then the pig opened fire.

The reason the shot him is because the black guy body punched him in the face and body slammed him while he was being tasered. You can see the cop flip over backwards during the scuffle that is partially obscured by a car. The killer cop also ran into a parked car while running and firing at the guy. SHot the fucker in the back.I'm not shooting a fucker if he is running away from me, Thats what he needs to be doing

Cruise
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32087962


That's what it comes down to.

The cop was pissed. Got angry and lost his shit. Unjustified homicide.

Brooks has accountability too. Anytime you fight a cop, you are raising the risk of it going sideways. But he did not have to die. Poor police work.
 Quoting: Zalinsky


He resisted a lawful arrest, assaulted police, took the officers taser, and shot said taser at the officer in an attempt to incapacitate the armed officer. What's left for the other officer to do? Use harsh language? Gotta say I'm glad you are not an officer because your partner would likely end up dead. I had two friends who worked as Charlotte police officers. Tried to make an arrest, the perp got hold of one their guns and shot both dead. Two grieving wives and small children left. Nobody rioted or protested for them.

Guy got shot in the back and killed for falling asleep in a drive through

Thats what it boils down to.

You have to remeber, verything that happened after the police got there would not have happened had they not behaved in the manner thye did. There is a legal principal that applies to criminal justice that if a persons actions cause another to commit a crime, the one who did so is guilty of that crime while to one compelled to do against their will is innocent.

In other words if you light a guy up with a taser he is going to most like fight if he can, quite vigorously. It is EXTREMELY painful and unpleasant. It all comes down to was the level of force reasonable for a man suspected of falling asleep in line at wendys.
Drunk or not thats the complaint they came on. Everything else is a jack up

That means that when a suspect pointed a non-lethal weapon and even shot a non-lethal weapon at the cop (who had to have been certified to carry a taser because he was carrying one) that cop knew he was dealing with established non-lethal force.

And unlawfully responded with deadly force against a fleeing suspect who was shot repeatedly in the back and killed.

A cop can't reasonably declare a taser non-lethal while also claiming a taser made them fear for their life. A cop not in fear of losing their life has no legal justification for repeatedly shooting a fleeing suspect.

They can and will claim that a suspect can tase a cop in order to gain control of his sidearm which justifies lethal force.

Not when he's fleeing, shot repeatedly in the back and trailed by a pack of rabid Cocksuckers On Patrol.

Re: The Shooting of Rayshard Brooks was Justified...New Video

The dead man fired the taser at the cop and missed by a country mile, then the pig opened fire.

The reason the shot him is because the black guy body punched him in the face and body slammed him while he was being tasered. You can see the cop flip over backwards during the scuffle that is partially obscured by a car. The killer cop also ran into a parked car while running and firing at the guy. SHot the fucker in the back.I'm not shooting a fucker if he is running away from me, Thats what he needs to be doing

That's what it comes down to.

The cop was pissed. Got angry and lost his shit. Unjustified homicide.

Brooks has accountability too. Anytime you fight a cop, you are raising the risk of it going sideways. But he did not have to die. Poor police work.
 Quoting: Zalinsky


He resisted a lawful arrest, assaulted police, took the officers taser, and shot said taser at the officer in an attempt to incapacitate the armed officer. What's left for the other officer to do? Use harsh language? Gotta say I'm glad you are not an officer because your partner would likely end up dead. I had two friends who worked as Charlotte police officers. Tried to make an arrest, the perp got hold of one their guns and shot both dead. Two grieving wives and small children left. Nobody rioted or protested for them.
 Quoting: sssssteve


He shot the taser from a long-distance over his shoulder while running the other way.

There was no remotely lethal threat. And even if he had somehow hit the lead officer, there was another behind him, not to mention he was on foot so an easy nab.
 Quoting: Zalinsky


He turned and took aim.

He did it well enough to almost hit the cop with it too.

Even the MSNBC clip says "turned to fire at officers".

Anyone willing to fight the police and run away with one of their weapons is a threat.
