How not to get shot by the police.
Don’t wrestle with them.
Don’t try to steal their guns.
Dont point their stolen weapons at them.
How accurate is their account here?
I believe he was shot when he fired the taser he gained control if at the police.
Major detail.
If he had been in custody for those FOUR convicted crimes, he'd be alive today.
Cop just got charged with felony murder.
It's pretty straightforward.
They never talk about these people being harden criminals
That doesn’t matter. He was just getting his life back together.
DA - Dumb A$$ - Danny Porter is only fomenting the public and hurting the police.
Question - The police pull someone over, they get their information, and find out that they have a Felony warrant.
Do you really have to play as nice as these officers did?
I already know the answer. They are white and he is black. The officers are guilty without the chance to be proven innocent.
Gutfeld has a great solution, black cops for black areas and white cops for white areas. 911 calls will be “I’m sorry there is not an officer of the required color available at this time. An officer will be sent as soon as one becomes available.
Another perfect martyr.
Yep, we’re becoming a banana republic. Totally 1984 Orwellian.
Yes, he was shot at least once when he turned the taser back at them.
Pure politics.
I bet he is a Soros DA
“Yes, he was shot at least once when he turned the taser back at them.”
No.
I am asking did he shoot the taser?
There is a claim that the taser was spent and unable to shoot.
I want to know if that is true.
Big UN meeting on policing this week I think, this will play into that.
Some Taser models can fire two shots before needing to reload a cartridge.
This is the Daily Mail so I am a bit skeptic.
That being said, the Daily Mail may force the other media to dig into Rayshard Brooks background.
FReepers have known for days that a person named Rayshard Brooks age 27 had very long rap sheet in Clayton County Georgia.
Is the media hiding Rayshard Brooks background for some reason?
