I think the police did a good job until the point they shot him.

Why shoot him???? If the two of them can’t handle him, let him go, call back up and arrest him with more police. It’s not like he going to get far and you can tail him.

It’s not easy handling drunk people and the dude could of been on some other shit too but if Your average bouncer/bartender can handle it the police officers should be able to handle it to without resorting to deadly force.

Due process of Justice THEN - prior to the shooting and killing of the black man:

1) 1 count for the still living black man - DUI or equivalent

2) 1 count for the still living black man - resist arrest

3) 2 counts for the still living black man - assault peace officers

4) 1 count for the still living black man - assault peace officer with a weapon

5) 1 count for the still living black man - fleeing peace officers or it's Georgia criminal code equivalent





Due process of Justice NOW:

1) 1 count for the cop that shot and killed the black man - manslaughter or murder 3rd degree

2) 1 count for each cop - failure to provide duty and care for life or it's Georgia criminal code equivalents

3) 1 count for each cop - obstruct justice/investigation

A 1 on 1 fight is one thing but when you are trying to subdue a guy and stop him from stealing your taser or gun at the same time it's totally different.

On the slopes of Mount Parnassus, Greece

At 3:48 in this video we can plainly see that the fleeing man turns and aims the taser at the cop.

Once he did that his fate was sealed.

I agree with all the points that Brandon Tatum is saying here.

If you are being placed under arrest do not resist. This is not a hard concept. Most of these police shootings involve non compliance.

In this case he's running from a DUI? Like why bother? Just take the charge and spend the night in jail.

Officer fired less than 24 hours after shooting fleeing suspect in the back. Murder charges to follow? After being passed out in Wendy's drive through. Let him run away, arrest him tomorrow. Citizens torch the Wendy's.

I think that killing was totally justified. The officer had a duty to arrest that drunk driver and he was defending himself from significant threat.

If officer let this drunk driver go, only for the driver to find another car and run someone over, I say officer should bear responsibility for not doing his job which was to arrest the guy.

If officer received the taser discharge and not responded with his gun fire because he hoped tasers are not deadly or whatever, that must be an exception and not the rule for other officers to follow.

As a rule, you cannot allow civilians taser police without fear of being shot at. Eveybody and their dog would be tasering each other then.

Let me guess?

He was gonna be shot in the back from a distance of 8 - 10 ft and left to die like a dog on the pavement? Is that the correct answer?

I guess the Atlanta use of force policy states:

If black man runs away wait till he is 10 feet or further away from you before shooting him in the back and killing him?

No, let the drunk violent guy who just stole a taser from the police and shot it on the officer to go wonder the streets with that taser. It will be much safer fro everybody. I am pretty sure if he'd simply run away without taking the taser or shooting it, it will be a different story.

Brooks wasn't having a leisurely nap in the Wendy's parking lot until police just happened to come along to harass him, like some of you seem to think.

In fact he passed out right in the drive-thru lane while his car was still idling. Other cars had to drive around him, so customers called 911.

Cops at the scene dealt very patiently with him for 30 minutes.

He subsequently failed the sobriety test.

He then resisted arrest, vigorously. A significant struggle ensued during which Brooks gets ahold of Brosnan's Taser then stands up and punches Rolfe in the face.

Rolfe gives chase firing his Taser immediately (and twice more) before he moves it to his left hand in order to secure his firearm with his right hand. Seconds later Brooks turns and fires the taser at him. At which point Rolfe's taser flies out of his left hand and he fires his gun.


It remains to be seen whether this is a case of excessive deadly force or not but I have a feeling the mayor's impetuous rush to judgement, both words and actions, may implode in her face.

Either way a very sad and tragic ending to Rayshard Brooks life. Highly predictable though, based on his actions that would have resulted in the same outcome regardless of skin colour.

Had the victim been a white kid ,..passed out in his car or on the grass , In some middle class college town , the cops would have taken away his keys , called mommy or daddy to pick him up

You think that a grown man should be treated like a kid and have his parents called to pick him up?

You must have missed the part where the man points a taser at the officer. That 8 - 10 feet gap that you're obsessed with closes quickly when you're running in the direction of someone that turns around pointing a taser at you.

I think the mayor made that decision to avoid rioting, looting, and destruction.

It's really sad... Rayshard seemed like such a decent guy in the minutes up to the arrest. But he made a very poor choice not to let officers do their job.

I dont understand why he started running. Where was he gonna run to??
Cops have his car and license plate# so they could easily have tracked him down at home afterwards.
Alcohol makes some people do stupid shit

In this case, he was killed for a DUI. Like why bother? Just let him run and find him another night. It's not like they didn't have his ID or anything.
