Rayshard Brooks Shooting in Atlanta

[Alpo]

Change of venue. Can't get a fair trial in the emotional climate or #BLM and Floyd.

Maybe in Los Angeles.

This is Jawja. Ain't gonna happen.

It's Atlanta. They burned down the Wendy's just because they're the ones who called the cops.

Good luck with that. I bet they will fight really hard to keep it local.

 

[Alpo]

Atlanta is about 35% black. A lot of wealthy blacks and a pretty deep middle class.

Mayor should be fired. Snowflake CP is gone.

**** em.

Of course. Election year.

From what Ive seen he should be acquitted. Some of the things they said in the press conference would make any officers head explode. They kept saying the same thing over and over he was not a threat with no mention of the struggle and what happened afterward.

He shouldn’t have been charged in the first place. That is a 100 percent justified shoot.

They also said some things that weren't true and used some persuasive tricks. They claimed the officers didn't render aid for 2 minutes. The video showed the officers running towards the guy immediately after shots fired. The one who shot knelt down and you could hear him on audio saying stuff like "stay with us" and "keep breathing". I can't know if they were actually rendering first aid, but it sure looked like it.

And the claim that the officer kicked the Brooks, I hope they have better evidence than what they showed. It's a still image of the cop with one leg over and the other leg up as if he's stepping over him. That still shot was screen cap'd from some video. If that video doesn't show what is claimed, that's some dirty ****.

Unless they have some kind of video evidence of something else going on that I haven't seen, I wouldn't say it was a good shoot, but I wouldn't say it was beyond the law either.

Rayshard Brooks killing: Former Atlanta Officer Garrett Rolfe charged with murder, could face death penalty

pure insanity...

Then you aren’t saying anything. Either it was justified or it wasn’t.

It sucks things like this happen. I just dont like how they made him out to be 100% innocent and the officer 100% guilty thats a crock of s***. No mention of the resisting and stealing a weapon off the belt.

 

[Alpo]

Apparently, the gsw is in Brook's back.

If true, that adds another wrinkle.

If you shoot at someone over your shoulder you get a get out of jail free card.

 

[DragonGunner]

Every single thing the DA just announce to convict the officer is the same thing that is going to get him found innocent. "You can't shoot a fleeing suspect unless he poses a threat to your life, or serious injury." Well guess what DA, he was shooting a taser at a officer...if that taser hit a officer in the eye could it not kill you? End of case. probably only doing this to prevent Atlanta from burning for the time being...I think the DA knows they are going to lose already. Hopefully he and the mayor will be fired next election.

The DA also said the suspect was "cooperative" I believe. If by being cooperative is resisting arrest, wrestling with the officers and stealing a taser, I guess he was being "cooperative". This is another Boston Police/Freddie Gray issue in a way.

Makes a lot of sense, right?

[Super Bee]

FOX News is saying he was on probation and this may be why he resisted, did not want to head back to jail.

Yeah that will keep you from going back to jail.

He started out cooperative. Even submitted to the breathalyzer, but when they went to cuff him, that's when things got sporty.

He was on parole starting in January, so either parole or probation makes sense.
