Not sure that would make much of a difference for me. He had back up and he was being threatened with a non lethal weapon. But under the law, it may have been justified.

Anyway after seeing all of the angles, just wanted to say I believe the shooting could have and should have been avoided. Not gonna be popular on here, but I refuse to not speak what I believe.

Did he or did he not fire the taser at the cop?

Under the law, it may have been justified. I’m not arguing that.

If a taser is classified as a lethal weapon in Georgia like I’ve heard it is, it will be justified legally.

I’m still on the fence of it being morally justified, leaning to it being justified if he fired the taser.

Stealing a taser and shooting it at cops punches your ticket to Darwinsville.

1st - I don't like when officers shoot someone who is running away.

2nd - how motherfricking stupid is the world today that people think this guy was shot BECAUSE he was black?

Cops shoot everyone who overpowers them and takes away their taser and points it at them. 100% of the time.

Also, thank you national media and politicians for making young black men think they are being hunted by the police and making them think they need/should fight them.

The only way to fix this is to give cops way more training on deescalation.


You may be literally retarded. The cops tried using less than lethal force at first, but that obviously didn’t work. The suspect escalated the situation to deadly force by pointing the taser as he ran away. Straight facts watching the video.

Officer Tatum believes the use of deadly force was justified.

If brooks actually fired the taser like I think he might have, I think it might be justified.


In terms of legal use of lethal self-defense, pointing a weapon at someone and pulling the trigger are basically the same thing.

Once a weapon is pointed at someone, it is reasonable to assume that the person at whom the weapon is pointed is endanger of death or great bodily harm.

You know why they're doing it?

Its because they read stuff like this:

2 cops shoot an unarmed black man in the back as he was running away. fricking disgusting.


If it bothers you as much as you claim, how about you edit your fricking OP and apologize for lying.

Cops would be better off to walk off the job right now. They are in a no win situation.

Shoot a thug brotha that deserves it and the media and social media mob runs with "unarmed black man" then shows his second grade photos.

Let these liberal shitholes fall into ruins and let them kill eachother.

No other group more deserving.

People are definitely chippy out there. Strap up baws. Even in Walmart. Especially in Walmart.

When the crackers decide to “protest” it will be a sight to see.

Pretty amazing we’re at a point where morons argue against this but here we are. Situation is a complete polar opposite of Floyd
