Or he walks home, gets in another vehicle and plows into a family of 4, killing them all.

Just as there are too many people who think if you are "calm, cordial, cooperative, and jovial" for the first 41 minutes of a stop, whatever you do after that is mitigated by your previously peaceful demeanor.

I've actually grown a fondness for those who admit openly that they'd like to eliminate the police. It's much more honest than suggesting to keep police and require that they perform impossible tasks with no regard for their own lives.

very few people regard human life. Definitley no one in this incident. Cops obviously didn't as they were happy to fire a weapon in a crowded parking lot cause they were mad someone took their taser. And let's not let the victim off the hook either. He willingly drove his car so drunk that he passed out in line at the drive thru. Where is his regard for human life?

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Should we enforce laws anymore?

Ok, so now they try to pick the guy up the next day and he's facing not only the DUI charge, but many years in jail for resisting arrest and assaulting cops with a deadly weapon. Is he really going peacefully at that point?

When the officer pulled his gun, the assailant had just fired a taser shot at the officer from a distance of about 5 feet. When the officer aimed his gun at the assailant and fired, the assailant was still pointing his weapon at the pursuing officer and was anywhere from 15-20 feet. This is the second time this question has been answered for you with photographic evidence.



[weapon pulled immediately after taser fired]



[pointing weapon at pursuing officer just before shots are fired]

There was more than a murder charge. The "How dare you question a cop" people don't want to talk about them. Sad! Why did he kick the shit (maybe literally)out of a man who was dying?

Well the guy that’s actually prosecuting the case seems to disagree with you there , bud.




Link to the audio . Taser is a deadly weapon under Georgia law but the officer had no reason to fear for his life when a taser is pointed at him . Ok Mr DA . Gg.

Same guy that just broke away from them a minute earlier ? That guy you mean ?

First of all it seems very likely they would arrest him in short order the same night (drunk, on foot and they knew where he lived). I'm also assuming there would be many more police involved in his arrest at that point. (on a side note it seems odd that there weren't more police at the scene since it had gone on so long). If they did wait until the next day he would no longer be drunk - which is likely why he reacted the way he did. Finally, I find your question a bit strange as it makes it seem like killing him at the scene is a better option than arresting him the next day - even if he's really angry.

Sorry, had to laugh at that. Seriously, though, I do have a problem with the kicking (though I don't know enough about it).

I think the question is whether we want to accept whatever problems he might cause in the interim (hurting others). If he's running empty-handed, I am more open to that solution.

_________________

Because the supposed kick is obstructed in the wide angle by a vehicle, most likely.

Anybody know if the taser was fired once? More than once? How many times could it even be fired?

I've read those officers carry the X2 taser, which can be fired twice before needing to be "re-loaded". The county prosecutor claims the taser Brooks had was empty after the shot he fired at the pursuing officer, meaning that it was fired once during the melee on the ground. Watching the video I can't tell which officer's taser is being fired.

It was allegedly fired twice and could not be fired again. I'm not sure if that is just a report or an established fact however.

Well, the cops involved better have known.

If it was spent, it is no longer a weapon. Making the shooting in the back even more egregious.

I'm going to walk over to federal plaza for a rally created by the federal and civil rights bar. They intend to present a very clear list of demands:

1. Raise the contingency fee rates on civil rights defense cases
2. make it easier to sue the government for damages
3. use a small percentage of the fees to promote justice

yep, should probably just shoot him first chance you get.

_________________

No, they shouldn't have. Real life isn't a movie, you don't count the shots of the bad guys. You try to not get hit by whatever they're shooting at you.

This is rocket science and it isn't Dirty Harry... It's counting to 2.

Even simpler, it's counting to 1 twice.

_________________

It is completely unreasonable to expect an officer to be able to count the number of a times a taser not under his control was fired during a violent scrum which later included him getting shot at. I'd be happy to wail on your face while you try to keep an eye and ear out for BRogue firing a shot from his taser, then have you try to decide whether he's empty after he fires it at your face from 5 feet away.

The state's got to meet their burden so everyone should kindly STFU until the trial is over.
