I think the coroner has one of four boxes he can check: 1) Homicide 2) Suicide. 3) Accident. 4) Natural causes



Seems like 2, when the guy pointed the tazer at the cop tbh

Will be arrested and charged with murder.


That's not what I heard. If you listen to the CBS affiliate here in Atlanta...you are naive.

Very mature response. Howard said he would make a determination about charges this coming week.

Like I said...I think you’re very naive.

Let’s agree right now. Later this week we will both make reappearances in this thread. If the officers are not charged I will post that I was wrong. If they are charged you will post that you are wrong. Nothing else, no BS, no attempts at clarifying something.

Agree?

There’s one good thing about video,” Howard told CNN. “Because in the video, we actually get a chance to hear the officer’s first statement after the shooting took place. And what the officer said is not that his life was saved. What his statement was, is ‘I got him.’”


The fact Howard went on national TV immediately following the shoot proves this is politically motivated.

Based on my understanding, he didn't say the officers will be charged this week but rather a decision on charges will be made this week. Not to say he won't ultimately decide to charge the officer(s) with murder, but I don't think he's made that decision yet.

But nonetheless I will edit the title with a full acknowledgment in the op, out of full deference to fairness.

“Because this is a homicide investigation, there are several technical requirements that must be met before we are able to reach a decision. That includes the confirmation of the ballistics involved and obtaining a preliminary report from the Medical Examiner. Additionally, my office received a referral from a local attorney who provided the names of two other witnesses who my office is working to speak with before making a decision. We are still experiencing some difficulty in obtaining all of the body cam and dash cam footage from the Atlanta Police Department. We are working around the clock to bring this investigation to a conclusion, and it is my hope to be able to announce our decision midweek.”

Regardless, there is no legal presidence in which both officers, if any in this incident, can be charged with murder. Manslaughter would be a reach.

I believe that he has.

Nonetheless, we will see.

even if they manage to somehow get a conviction from a jury of Atlanta blm, this would get destroyed on appeal. There are several supreme court cases that bear directly in this, the officer is clearly in the right, and definitely will have a case to sue the city and the mayor for firing him, especially without any kind of internal investigation

The thread title is edited with a full acknowledgment in the op.

I want to apologize for any misleading statements. The thread, with all original and edited statements will remain and will be revisited as the week progresses.
