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

You catch a guy drunk and passed out behind the wheel of a running vehicle blocking traffic.

He doesn't even know where he is.

How are they going to let a severely drunk felon who doesn't even know where he is just walk home?

the dude knew he was toast because he failed the breathalyzer test, instead of complying civily like 99% of the population and spending the night in jail, instead he decided to wrestle with the cops taking the teaser, could've taken the gun instead and fight with them, darwin award

Fuck is it bring your kid to GLP day?

Just admit if they'd shot him through his window while he was still sleeping you would still be on their side.

I guess that you didn't hear that Rayshard beat his kids. They're probably happy that he is dead.

Yeah, then something happens to him and he sues the cops fr letting him go while intoxicated.

He chose to fight the cops

He chose to steal the taser

He chose to run from the cops

He chose to FIRE the taser at the cop

What else might he have chosen to do if he wasnt stopped?

Jump in someones car? Take a hostage? Hurt someone?

Not a lethal threat.

We train our police to only use lethal force as the last moment.

Do you really think the drunk guy high tailing it was a lethal threat?

Back in the 50s, things were a lot different.
You had the friendly billy club neighbor cop.
You had no national database to track people.
You had no license scanners.
You had no gps.
Cops did not give high speed chases since innocents may be killed.

Fast forward to today.
With all the hitech equipment, gps on your cell phone, national database and so on, you are not getting away, and yet it seems we have gone the opposite direction.

Cops go on high speed chases, putting peoples lives at risk, they chase and gun down people running from them, they dress up in military gear like some roid rager.

he did everything wrong yet some of you are still defending him, either you're lunatic or just a liberal, racism huh

so they want an alternative way to shoot to not kill.

I'm serious here, what about shooting a dart gun where they get a dart with tranquelizers in it.. seriously, would they consider this? or something like that.

What I want to know is when are we going to throw the bankers and politicians in jail. This is a really small issue in the scheme of things.

A taser is a weapon, period. It was a threat. At that point he showed he was willing to use deadly force against the officers. In your scenario, the cops chase him down again, another violent fight ensues and the guy graps one of their guns in this instant and one of the cops ends up dead.

You just better admit it, the guy fucked up when he grabbed the taser and at that point that was really the only reason the cops needed to shot him there. But they didn't. Then he fired on them, so they shot him. Why? Because they guy already showed he could overcome both of them and him taking their guns would be next. Quit making excuses for the dude. Anyone with a brain knows the cops showed a lot of restraint and the guy became a real threat.

Tasers were give to cops a long time ago just to give them an option to detain people without risk of them or the suspect being shot. The cops here no longer had that option because he took it from them. The dude became an armed and dangerous felon when he grabbed that taser and fired.

Just admit you hate white people in general but not as much as you hate yourself.

Your strawman is meaningless, we're not talking about your fantasy event, we're talking about this real-life event that happened.

Easy nab for one officer eh? what vid were you watching? I saw the one where he out wrestled two police officers and took one's taser.

Once he shot said taser at your partner, the lead officer, you damn well better make up your mind on what you are gonna do at that split second, because if he gets his hands on your partner's gun, it's game over. Your partner doesn't go home and you may not go home, either. You dont get to rewind videos and second guess yourself, all day. You better react, if you are the one who wants to live.

Had he nailed the cop he sure would be.

It's still attempted if you miss.

The primate should have just complied instead of fighting officers and resisting

Bad idea. People on opiates, or with certain intolerances to anesthesia could die easily. Tasers can kill even healthy young people if it shocks at the correct point in the heartbeat cycle.

I will grant that the cop was clearly trapping the guy via questioning and pulling out the PBT. But the dude had passed out in the drive thru line and that's why the police showed up.

He made a bunch of bad choices in a row and it ended poorly. Very poorly.

But the police didn't murder this guy. Period.

And of course dude has a rap sheet and beat his kids.

Like a broken record.

I'll remember that when they come to collect citizens guns.
Just hand over your weapons. Don't fight the officers, just do as your told and comply.

...bbbbb-but they didn't even do the required Miranda Kneeling!

Back in the 50's people had GOD. Back in the 50's the majority of people had enough morality left in them they knew right from wrong and public shaming was enough to keep people in line because if you did wrong, you were basically an outcast in your community. Back in the 50's we didn't have people of all cultures pouring into the US and beheading our daughters or raping our children because that's the way they did things over there.

It's a damn fucking shame we aren't back in the 50's but you don't get back to the 50's unless it starts in the church, home and community. YOU definitely don't start "getting back to the 50's" by starting with the COPS!

but you're just one of MANY copsuckers on here......

Yes. Took a weapon, fired a weapon and made himself a lethal threat at that point.

SOCIETY is first made in one's home environment, parent's education and family warmth, everything that's missing in most of lives today

quality high trust society is impossible in a multi-ethnic shitshow

do something about it or be crushed by it

Wrong.
The crime rate was higher in the 50s.
You had serial killers on the lose.
Child abuse was through the roof but ignored.
If you go back even further, you had the mobsters and the mafia killing each other.

There was no godly people, everything was just kept hidden in the closet and out of the media.

The media is embarrassed because they have been trying very hard to make a possible bad police procedure case into a racial thing and have failed miserably

Go back and watch MLK's "I have a dream" speech and pay particular attention to the crowd. It is largely made up of well-dressed black families. The black family was still intact back then before LBJ's "Great Society" welfare programs began to systematically dismantle it. Illegitimate births were on par with whites back tehn and the vast majority of black children grew up in intact, two-parent homes. Black families attended churches in very high numbers. Blacks still lagged behind whites educationally and economically but the trend was closing the gap right up until the early 1970's. There has always been crime. When has there ever not been?

Mike King was a fraud.
