Buried in the article:

“But as soon as Rolfe and Bronsan begin to make the arrests, Brooks, without warning, began to struggle and within moments he is seen wrestling with both officers on the ground.”

Apparently there isn’t an ‘All Lives Matter’ movement (or website).

He was a good boy, he dindu nuffin.

Except drive while drunk to a Taco Bell and pass out in the drive through.

Had this been a white guu you’d have ABC having Mothers Against Drunk Driving on there applauding the officers actions because while drunk he was piloting a weapon of mass assault.

But no - today’s narrative is “cops bad”

But maybe if we had toned down the DUI laws the officers would’ve written him a ticket, impounded the car and given him a ride home instead.

That’s your trade off here - either you want “zero tolerance” for these things which inevitably lead to this or you accept the trade off of some DUI deaths so that every infraction leads back into jail.

At one point, Brooks turned and allegedly shot the stun gun at Rolfe who drew his service weapon from his holster and opened fire.

That little segment always appears to be buried far down in the article. Usually followed by someone claiming that's not a deadly weapon and thus shouldn't result in deadly force.

Hands up anyone who has a gun on them who has someone aim a taser at you - who's going to wait to see if they get disabled by the less than lethal weapon and still have a gun to defend themselves with? Anyone? Come on, someone must want to risk their life to protect any idiot...

Didn't think so. If BLM was serious, they'd be marching in the streets saying 'stop fighting with police.'

This isn’t comparable to the George Floyd killing. This guy was not in custody, he grabbed an officer’s taser and reportedly pointed it at the officer. If the body cam footage verifies this, I can’t understand why the officer was fired.

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

“Rayshard Brooks had a cordial conversation about being in the area to visit his mother’s grave and to celebrate one of his young daughter’s birthdays, according to a series of videos released by officials. “

He was in the area to do those things, but did he do any of them or just get drunk and high ?

The word allegedly is not used in this article until the drunk man “allegedly” turns and fires the taser at the officer.

But, on the video it’s clear the taser is fired.

He went from being born (decades ago) to being fatally shot. Oh, the humanity.

That headline is completely ridiculous.

This is why Trump calls them Fake News. This is why we all call them Fake News.
