Cop Shoots Man in Atlanta
I watched the video of this tonight and what I saw was the cops stopped a car. They felt that the driver was under the influence so they gave him a field sobriety test. It looked to me that they were about to give him a breathalyzer. He grabbed the officers taser and started running. The officer gave chase and at one point the man turned and fired the taser at the officer. The officer returned fire and killed the man.
Was that shooting justified?
The police chief has resigned, the officer has been fired and his partner suspended.
