Tasers are powerful and I have read that they can kill. I would not like to think what would happen if someone received a taser barb near their eye. The murder victim had removed the taser from the police officer and shot at him, (twice?) Before that he had violently resisted arrest. He would be alive right this moment if he had stopped when told to stop and didn't fire a strong weapon at a police officer.

Yes he is dead and he did NOT deserve a death sentence. If he were my grandson, I would have told him that he was courting death with his lifestyle, that he had serious financial responsibilities fathering several children, that he would be far better off leaving illegal drugs and controlled substances alone.

I think the backlash to this awful situation will be even worse and more frequent awful situations. I think that having no one to physically stop someone who is bent on harming law enforcement officers will immediately spill over to the general population. I am concerned for those who are no longer strong enough to run fast from trouble or stand up to someone who wants to hurt them or take their money or possessions or steal their car. I think that it is more a lawless issue than it is a race issue. Where do you draw the line when someone will not be detained?? How is that going to work in the scheme of things? You just can't continue to overlook and to overlook what some refer to minor crimes.

First I wouldn't call him a "murder victim".....NOTHING is proved in a court of law yet. And yes the video does show him shooting the taser twice, as one of my previous posts shows. That in my mind shows intent to do harm to the officers, and that is key evidence for a jury.

Election Year
 

It's election year for the D.A. Paul Howard and he is losing at the polls already. He must win the upcoming runoff to get on the ballot in November so he is doing whatever he can to win votes....... Even if it's wrong !!! :ohdear:

Seems like the DA has some of his own legal problems to worry about.. GBI investigating DA Paul Howard over use of nonprofit

There's always a method to the madness.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation didn't even know the DA was filing charges today. Why bother to ask them to investigate?
GBI Says Fulton DA Blindsided Agency Amid Investigation in Brooks Case - AllOnGeorgia

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says it was unaware that Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard planned to file charges against the officers involved in the Rayshard Brooks case while the agency was still conducting its investigation.

Approximately an hour after Howard announced the charges Wednesday, the agency posted on social media:

Sad and pathetic, but not surprising I suppose, that no one seems to have a problem...with these actions taken by the cops charged. :oops:



Raise your hand...if you see the common denominators. :ohdear:

Looks like he thinks he's quite the woman's man too..
Fulton DA facing another harassment lawsuit

Let's just see what comes out in court. That is the American way to justice........isn't it?
Steve

Nope.. We're just not willing to convict him until he's had his day in court. That is how it is supposed to be..

I'm not much of a conspiracy person but something is starting to stink about all of this going on lately.

A 4 minute video, explaining the charges and showing the evidence for the charges...for those who care about facts. :ho:

THAT is what infuriates me!

So because charges have been filed that makes him automatically guilty? The charges amount to nothing but opening arguments. The Defense still get their chance to present their case. Why can't you understand that? Or are you just being obtuse?

That's it??? So the investigation is over. What's with the "photograph" of the kick? That is obviously taken from a video? Why not show the whole video. This is in my opinion is a **** poor case.
Again, leave it to the jury.
