Again, he was on foot. No longer a threat. You don’t get to kill him.

I watched a few interviews with police chiefs that said the officers had a right to fire. I know opinions are like a certain part of the body and everyone has one. The mayor said the officer shouldn’t have fired.

My take is Brooks is still a threat if he doesn’t drop the TAZER. Even if the TAZER is out of cartridges, it has a stun feature if applied directly to the body.

Here is an article by a former FBI agent and DOJ prosecutor:

From the article:

The APD manual states an officer may only use deadly force when:

“1. He or she reasonably believes that the suspect possesses a deadly weapon or any object, device, or instrument which, when used offensively against a person, is likely to or actually does result in serious bodily injury and when he or she reasonably believes that the suspect poses an immediate threat of serious bodily injury to the officer or others.

But they get to kill you and no one will care. It should be shocking, but it isn’t.

Why do you even pretend to be conservative and on this site?

You’d be a better cheerleader on a lib site. They hate cops and anything conservative. And you ain’t a lawyer, lmao.
