I'm ignorant & you are the true sign of pure intelligence & high class.

But you're the one resorting to name calling & insults.

Thanks for the compliment.
It can not be slander when you have provided all of the evidence needed to prove your own ignorance.

I don't care enough to look up some slick meme to get my jabs in. I'm sorry to disappoint.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which is investigating the shooting, said the deadly confrontation started with officers responding to a complaint that a man was sleeping in a car blocking the restaurant's drive-thru lane. The GBI said Brooks failed a field sobriety test and then resisted officers' attempts to arrest him.

The GBI released security camera video of the shooting Saturday. The footage shows a man running from two white police officers as he raises a hand, which is holding some type of object, toward an officer a few steps behind him. The officer draws his gun and fires as the man keeps running, then falls to the ground in the parking lot.

Are you aware of how many cops get shot at and get killed?
Most people probably aren't, since there is no protesting that ever goes on when a cop gets gunned down.
For anyone who tries to say the cops had no right to shoot at the assailant should go try to arrest some thugs and see if they, for a moment, will fear for their lives.

This is simple. If a white or brown person does this, the result is the same.

Yeah, I appreciate that but. I'm going to respectfully disagree.

Couple of observations.

If the suspect was passed out in the car, then why not hand cuff him while he is unconscious & doesn't pose a threat?

APD needs to raise its physical fitness standards & training. They let that guy stand up when one officer clearly had top position & should have subdued the assailant. One cop even had his arm around the guys neck & just let him stand up.

Jesus, the armchair quarterbacking here. How do people like this function in life?

They are going to have a hard time fielding cops as is. Who would want to be a cop right now?

Do you think repeatedly calling it a “bad shoot” makes you sound more knowledgeable?

Have you had to subdue someone to get them to comply with your orders?
Have you ever had a gun pointed at you? If so, how did you react?

Keep up the good fight, but it ain't worth it.

Would you rather the cop wait to see if the suspect using the taser on him allows said suspect to take his gun?

Then the officer could use his backup?

Or maybe the suspect aims the taser at the cops face and he loses an eye...

Then it would be justified, right?


Or are you just playing a knucklehead for the sake of playing a knucklehead?
