Whatever Brooks was on (drugs, alcohol, etc.) helped to cost him his life. He overpowered two police officers, grabbed the Taser gun from one (lucky for the police he didn’t get their firearms), and tried to shoot one while fleeing (see the video and Taser flash, the gun possibly aimed at the first pursuing officer’s face/head which could have blinded or killed him).
He was still armed with the stolen Taser when he was shot. There should be NO charges against either police officer. I think the shooter officer is going to be “lynched” by an overzealous prosecutor, aided by mob fury.
The Lloyd killing in Minneapolis was totally uncalled for and a reckless, if not deliberate act of deliberate murder, for which Chauvin most pay the price.
Brooks is a totally different case and the video shown so far proves it, though a lot of news media fail to point this out. Wonder why?/sarc
For those already employed, it's obviously a difficult choice...
but for any Caucasian even thinking about going into law enforcement in a democrat stronghold medium/large city, they must reconsider locations or line of work.
If their family and friends value them, love them, they must make it clear that they do not support LE employment in such cities.
Even if your innocent by rule of law, you will be scapegoated and then railroaded. That is the climate we are in now. If the criminal doesn't kill you while your doing your job, you will wind up in jail and killed there.
In the Atlanta case, the ‘payback’ will be that police will evaluate a potential DWI situation, and if the guy appears black...just let it go. So DWI’s within Atlanta over the next year or two...involving blacks....will double and triple. If you come upon an accident with a victim, and the apparent guilty party is black...you have to call immediately for back-up and ask for a minimum of ten additional officers.
The black community will eventually say that the increased DWIs by black men is a problem, and demand the police resolve this mess.
