It will be very difficult for them to bullshit their way out of this one, but I suspect it'll be the usual ad hominem attacks, or they'll change the subject or they will obfuscate

Another black man killed by a cop in Atlanta trying to escape arrest
- Thread starter rafterman
- Start date
Any good defence lawyer will play the tape to the jury of a black AG telling us the taser is a lethal weapon except in the case when a black man fired one at a police officer. Then it's not a lethal weapon and the cop can be charged with murder. What a shit show this is going to be.
I actually watched the entire body cam footage
Ima follow this case. At this point it seems that the murder charge will turn on whether the cop was obligated to count taser shots and know that the taser was empty, which I am pretty sure no jurors would agree on. It's notoriously known that people are incapable of counting shots in a real life shootout.
According to the breathalyzer the deceased's BAC was 0.108 which is legally intoxicated to drive in the state of Georgia but would likely not cause him to pass out in a drive thru. I'm predicting the tox screen will come back with drugs in his system as well.
So what you are saying is that the officer attempted to use lethal force when he tased Rayshard Brooks while he was trying to get away.
I wouldn't brag about these words from Paul Howard.
They are going to be prosecutorial gold in the case against the murdering cops... but the defense will claim that tasers are NOT lethal weapons.
You murderer-apologists can't have it both ways... but you guys aren't clever enough to recognize the hypocrisy.
There is no way to spin it.
As it pertains to another case, the District Attorney explicitly stated "THE TASER IS A DEADLY WEAPON UNDER GEORGIA LAW".
Now, mere weeks later he turns around and says it isn't. It's like he is making it up as he goes LOL.
Brooks had two more charges in the Taser = two more chances to render Rolfe incapacitated and go for his gun and kill him or someone else. Or in the frenzied state he was in, continue to run and use the Taser against an innocent passerby.
It's like the DA, the mayor etc have all lost their collective minds.
EG., the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, specifically tasked to fully investigate this case says they were blindsided by DA Howard's decision to pursue charges. "The GBI was not aware of today’s press conference before it was conducted. We were not consulted on the charges filed by the District Attorney". That is BIZARRE!
Also it has been revealed that DA Paul Howard lied about the other officer Brosnan turning "state's witness" agreeing to testify against Rolfe.
It is a blatant LIE. According to Brosnan's attorney:
Speaking with CNN, Attorney Don Samuel said, "Officer Brosnan has not agreed to testify. He has not agreed to plead guilty. He honestly told the DA’s office everything that happened during a lengthy interview yesterday. He will continue to tell the DA or the GBI, or any other investigator what happened. But he is absolutely not guilty of any crime and will not plead guilty and has not agreed to be a ‘state’s witness.’”

Wait a minute here bucko.....Harry Callahan did it all the time.
So surely this officer could do the same thing. Come on now!
This is pretty much how I feel. ^^^
25 Cops have been shot to death in the US so far this year. But you don't hear about that on the news!

No, if he wanted to use legal force he wouldve shot him
You got that exactly the other way around. It will be gold for the defense.
The taser has been approved as a LESS lethal weapon that can be used instead of an officer's handgun, but that doesnt mean they arent occassionally lethal.
Also note I said APPROVED for law enforcement. But Brooks was not LE plus he was a convicted felon, therefore he was illegally in possession of a less lethal weapon like the taser.

Do you believe the bullshit that you type?
LESS LETHAL? So the target would be less dead?
Get help.
Its less lethal in percentages when fired compared to a regular handgun.
Surely you understand this??
Well....maybe you dont
You murderer-apologists just can't agree, can you?
Less lethal, non-lethal, lethal.
Which is it Pillsy?
I'll give you a hint:
For guys like you, it's non-lethal when the po-po use it, less lethal when you are trying to defend it's use, but deadly lethal when blacks use it.
Sound about right?
Cops are insignificant to the leftists....Well that is until they actually need one.
I addressed that several times. He pointed the used taser from a distance --> No threat as the prongs were shot. He was running away --> no threat of contact usage (if any charges were even left)
Actually I want them held to a higher standard. They are supposed to be well trained professionals.
You are pretty clueless about this. BLM encompasses a wide variety of groups with a wide variety of views. I know it makes you more comfortable to consider BLM (or antifa) as a cohesive, evil group but that's not reality.
