Atlanta police shooting not as 'clear cut' as George Floyd death

[rayg]

Atlanta police shooting not as 'clear cut' as George Floyd death as the GBI released security camera video of the shooting Saturday. The footage shows a man running from two white police officers as he raises a hand, which is holding some type of object, toward an officer a few steps behind him. The officer draws his gun and fires as the man keeps running, then falls to the ground in the parking lot.

GBI Director Vic Reynolds said Brooks had grabbed a Taser from one of the officers and appeared to point it at the officer as he fled, prompting the officer to reach for his gun and fire an estimated three shots.

The security camera video recorded Brooks “running or fleeing from Atlanta police officers,” Reynolds said. “It appears that he has in his hand a Taser.”

The footage does not show Brooks' initially resisting being arrested and physically fighting/struggling with the officers, as they tried to arrest him for failing the blood alcohol test.

When do they show it from the beginning. Oh' it doesn't matter, the cops should have let him go, he's black!

Actually I would say it's clear cut the other way. At the moment, the cop had to shoot. Unfortunately in the larger sense, they couldn't bring in a OWI alive. Dealing with intoxicated belligerents is supposed to be part of the training. Maybe they should have been more patient like this:

That's too close to the mark to be funny.

Hold on!..Yes the guy in the video cooperated the other guy didn't..

[togor]

Hold on!..Yes this guy cooperated the other guy didn't..

Ray....who you kidding? The deputy called him "Brian" how many times???? First name basis! If he wasn't a LEO, tased for non-compliance in the first 5 minutes.

They can be patient when they want to.

[togor]

Another one. What's interesting about these is that the arresting officers state on the audio that they have to do something, because of the 911 calls. Plausible deniability isn't there. Again, the patience of saints....when they want to.

[rayg]

So what, both were still arrested...Togie..You got police hate real bad.....

And as they say..the rest of the police shooting story below..


As the bodycam footage shows, Brooks cooperates with the officers initially, agreeing to be searched for weapons and to complete a field sobriety test. Brooks then insisted that all he'd had to drink was 'one and a half daiquiris.'

The officers then administer a breathalyzer test, as Brooks continues to insist that he is fine to drive home. The breathalyser reading comes back as .108.

About 30 minutes into the interaction, Rolfe tells Brooks that he believes he is too drunk to operate a motor vehicle and that he is being placed under arrest. As the officers begin to handcuff him, Brooks begins to struggle, knocking the bodycamera to the ground.

Little else is seen of the interaction, but the officers are heard shouting 'stop fighting, stop fighting,' a taser is heard being deployed, and three shots are heard seconds later.

Video from other angles has already shown that Brooks swung punches at the officers, stole a taser, and fled, turning to point what appears to be the stolen taser at Rolfe before Rolfe unholsters his gun and shoots Brooks.

Gee, I wonder if he has been arrested before...If he has..I would love to see his record..and I hope they show it. I wonder if he had other charges added also.

Ray says: police have never been better, and all of the problems are with the community.

Togor says: that's a bureaucratic mindset that speaks volumes to how things got to this point.

Ray got your computer audio fixed yet? If so then the internet is full of videos of black people, pulled over, with a gun on them before they even know why they got pulled over. Your expert eye might offer insights. I watch those vids and I see:

Motorists taking a line of argument I would like to believe I wouldn't take.

Cops treating those motorists in ways that they don't treat me, and which I for sure would not want to be treated. And sometimes the wife or girlfriend talks more sense than the cop.

Everyone has a camera now. Cops have to be as polite with everyone as they are with the drunk Lt's. That's the way it is and they need to adapt.

comparing 2 drunk guys that did not grab a taser to another drunk or drugged guy who assaulted , grabbed, and pointed one at a police officer who was trained to defend himself, and shoot till the threat is gone,,,


that's a heckofa comparison there,


woooo weeee, yes sir ree bob,,,,

Just another lie by the liar in Chief. There is zero comparison of the two incidents. In one you have a man that is watching his job, his lifetime achievements, and self esteem, going down the toilet. He doesn't attack, hit, or assault the officers, he was upset, drunk, and hurting inside. He asked for twenty minutes and got it.

Both Floyd and the jerk in Atlanta physically assaulted the officers and committed several felonies. The videos are as different as Gone With The Wind and Debbie Does Dallas but they are videos so they must be equal according to the Liar in Chief.

It must be an absolute cacophony in there -- complete with echoes.

So where is the Liar in Chief on this one?

He posts a complete bull schit video then says it is meaningful... it aint.

Come on LIC and explain how a guy giving a cop a finger is the same as hitting a officer with fists and stealing a taser? Had the taser disabled the cop... the perp could have stolen the cop's gun and killed the other cop.

It is just another lie to add to all the hundreds of lies from our radical communists led by togor. Trump won't run, Trump won't get the nomination, Trump will drop out, he is just promoting his TV show, Trump can't win in November... it is going to be a landslide for Hillary... Trump won because Putin rigged the election... Trump colluded with the Russians... Trump is a Russian spy... on and on and on, lies on top of lies for 4 years. The traitors like togor know they are spouting lies but their hatred for America overwhelms them.

Red thanks for asking my opinion.

Already given in another thread, but repeated for your pleasure: firing the taser, even wildly and while fleeing, put that man's life in grave peril. I might have thought it was enough to allow the LEO to escape charges but apparently not.

As for Trump... he's hardly exonerated of anything and you know it. Barr has been burying everything left and right, and the Red Wall will hold until individual politicians decide it's safer to break with Trump than to stand near him.

Imagine if Eric Holder had fired a US Attorney who was investigating some Obama cronies in Chicago? You would be soaked in spittle. Yet when Barr does it in NYC for Trump, not a peep.

You were wrong about Trump, spectacularly so, and my prayer for you is that you're starting to realize it. Happy Father's Day!!
