Atlanta police shot and killed a black man late Friday night following a struggle outside a Wendy’s restaurant on the city’s southside, in an incident that inflamed tensions over police use of force and racial injustice that have roiled Atlanta and cities across the nation since the Memorial Day death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis.
Video of the shooting of 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks, who had allegedly fallen asleep in his car and blocked the restaurant’s drive-through, went viral across social media. Protesters marching for a third weekend in Atlanta for justice for Floyd and other black men and women killed by police quickly demanded a full investigation Saturday of the Brooks shooting, and the Georgia NAACP called for the termination of Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields.

What is odd to me, is in the video you see him turn with something in his hand, and then there’s a flash. Not sure what that could be. Whatever is in his hand (assumed to be the tazer) is lit up somehow.
The cop draws and fires directly after the flash.
So, how does the a$$hole get home so he can be arrested tomorrow? So let me ask you, being a “conservative attorney”........Just a little hypothetical.
A drunk man is passed out in the Wendy’s line, cars have to go around him. Wendy’s manager and employees decide to not bother him and let’s him just stay there to sleep it off, while cars just go around him. At some point, the drunk sleepy guy wakes up, drives out of the parking lot and kills someone. Who is responsible? Are you going to take the case against Wendy’s for negligence by not doing more to stop a situation that was knowingly dangerous to the general public? You are some special “conservative attorney”. LOL.
I don’t do criminal defense.
LOL
No, that’s why they use tasers, because they don’t kill.
That’s possibly the dumbest thing I’ve ever read on this forum, maybe anywhere. Well done, you’re not only hysterical, but remarkably stupid.
Love Tucker too
You are entitled to your opinion, and so am I entitled to mine.
Obviously.

So what? He was just a drunk. Arrest him tomorrow.
.................
Seriously? So DUI and resisting arrest is ok for black people but whites or anyone else gets arrested and goes to jail? Or perhaps everyone gets a shot at escape; the cops have to let you run away if you can break free?
giving me a headache
Duh. Yes, tomorrow is another day. Better than killing the guy. I bet the officer wishes he would have arrested the guy tomorrow as opposed to all the hell he is facing now. And I bet the guy’s relatives and children wish the same thing.
One of the best most brilliant analysis and succinct summary I have read on this topic great writing you pulled it all together in a simple format any person even a black person could understand
Yet all the sports writers and the sports media and the athletes themselves don’t even talk about sports anymore they’re all talking about black lives matter it’s nauseating you just can’t get away from it
“How does a cop get a Taser taken away from them? Pathetic.”

I take it you’ve never been in a fight with a man high on meth?
“Police in every liberal city should just say eff it and quit.”
I’m shocked they haven’t.
.....or common sense.
Do you not have a single clue?
He is attacking cops to take him in for DUI.
It’s gonna be a blood test and you know it.
Why not let him sleep it off you say.
Who would want that job?"
Sure seems like the odds of police leaving the profession are increasing. At least, in the larger liberal inner cities.
I too wonder why anyone would want to put their life in jeopardy every day they go to work, and to do so in a community that hates them with a passion. Simply not worth the risk. Even if your not killed, you run the risk of being made a scapegoat by a liberal major/DA/police chief.
Being a LEO in a more conservative, rural area is a different story. Where a far higher percentage of the people actually respect authority and the rule of law and are generally very supportive.
