Ok, staying on the topic then.

Tell me guys, is this what some of you wanted? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_kQjIxEUKw.

You can say hello to me when a bad guy/gal assaults you in Atlanta, and there's no one to respond...

And cops are right to do so. The bend to the mob attitude of city mayor and police head are outrageous. Those cops had all reasons to shot back, and their actions should not be re-considered according to the Floyd emotion timeline. Their firing was abusive and I hope they get millions after suing.

And btw, additional infos came. The guy was on probation, for battery, false imprisonment and child cruelty. So now we know why he did all his best to resist.

Didn't I tell you guys at some point that his "ressisting arrest" seemed to had signs of over-fierceness? And that police might've judged the guy to be dangerous in him doing so? Like he might've been a desperate criminal on the run (and potentially dangerous to civilians)? But hey, you cannot judge a guy ressisting arrest and beating you up by his skin color it seems, because that's the ONLY thing I assume that police officer thought (and probably every other policeman in Atlanta would think, which by 2013 consisted in 58% of Afro-Americans btw). The only thing that police officer, who otherwise has shown every sign of politeness and by-the-book rules, was probably thinking about. Even if the said guy pointed lethal/not lethal weapon at you (Georgia lawyers can't make up their minds it seems).

So if I interpret your general howling of outrage right, it's more right for the cops to kill an unarmed person resisting an illegal arrest when the unarmed persion has previous - which, if you paid attention, is true for many people in the US, because the courts are completely overloaded with cases and everyone is trying to save time by "deals", which ignores the fact that a guy is either guilty or not guilty, and deals will either punish a real perp too mildly or an innocent too hard (and a previous always counts, if you attract the attention of the law again).

You should consider that "justice" in the US works VERY differently from the way it does in most European countries.

Old news, gentlemen. The media-toted "father of three" had been incarcerated in prison for false imprisonment(keeping his kids locked in a room), beating his children, and generally being cruel to them. He was also on probation the night he was drunk off his ass and driving a car. Rayshard Brooks wasn't the kind of person anyone should have ever been upset about, let alone rallied behind.

Why the racist left rally behind scum, is because their media tells them what to think, and how to feel. And they dutifully obey.

If he is a "father of three" and is snoring on the drive way, while drunk, this is already enough to have him incarcerated.

Populistic lynch-mob-mentality. Even if Brooks would have emerged as the devil herself, the police cannot shoot unarmed suspects in the back and kill them, that's unacceptable. They couldn't even do it, if he had been a wanted criminal, but certainly not for SUSPICION of drunk driving (and subsequent resiting the (illegal) arrest.

THAT is what is wrong here. It doesn't matter what Brooks is. Smearing the victim isn't changing the crime.

What about you land on earth again. He was not killed for any of the reasons you list, but because he took a weapon then fired to cops.

That's being an idiot.

Then,if you want to create a new thread about innocent and unarmed blacks being shot in the back, feel free to do so, but not this case.

I never said a word about killing. It's more about removing the cause of the problem. Lawfully.

Lawfully, yes. Which is what the cops didn't do, which is why they will be on trial. The charge is homicide, because shooting someone who is running away, twice in the back leaves a bad impression.

Why he was killed? The cop will doubtlessly tell his version of the story. If he says what the people say here to his excuse, he'll end up guilty.

Though they definitely did not kill an unarmed person resisting an illegal arrest. They killed an armed criminal resisting justified arrest.
Seems fellow police think the same and are walking off their posts when they saw the cops involved in the incident got charged for basically doing their job.

@JJ Going Robin Hood on people is illegal.* If the cop said he killed it because he thought he deserved, it wouldn't benefit his cause.

*Even if for decades it was portrayed has the epitome of the american way, on movies

There is no reason for the cop to tell his version of the story, there were several cameras capturing every angle and details. Brooke started a fight with cops (illegal arrest or no, it matters as much as having blue socks), stole their taser, turned while running away and fired the taser to nearest cop. This is justified reason to shot at him.

And of course, suggesting that because he was shoot in the back it means he was no threat is crap. Between intention and actions there is always a delay.  

Only people who seek and enjoy chaos and anarchy will defend tooth and nail this behavior.

Everyone sane:

Black criminals are criminals.

I can't get over the absurdity that it is considered okay for somebody to die on the street because they were guilty of some other lesser crime.

None of you should ever serve on a jury. This is why we shouldn't have juries.

Brooks was unarmed. Then he was to be illegally arrested. Illegally, because they didn't read him his rights. He'd have the right to call a lawyer and so on. THEN he resisted arrest, still unarmed. The cops tried unsuccessfully to taser him, and he took a taser - a weapon 2 cops vs one had no problem using against him (and could have used without reprimand) - and fled. He then made one unsuccessful try to use the taser and a couple of second later, outside of all cameras, we can hear 3 shots, 2 of them landing in his back.

If you find this kind of "police work" ok and even defend it, you fully deserve to live under the "protection" of these cops who couldn't handle an unarmed supposedly drunk except shooting him in the back.
