No. First the guy was sleeping in his car. Drank too much. Did not have weapon. He resisted arrest he took stun gun, not a lethal weapon ran. The cop sot him in the back running away. Did the guy USA poor judgement yes was he a threat of death to the cops no. Dead for drinking too much. With all these protests wouldn’t you think police would be thinking clearer? It makes me think it is worse than we think a question of shoot any black man that moves. So sad and not necessary. They had the guys car they could have found him later. They patted him down no weapon. Murder

He has a record - I saw it on truthfinder (online background check)
The media will not tell you this |
If the drunk fellow used the taser on the cop, the cop would be in danger. And the drunk fellow would take the cop's firearm

The guy was drunk. The cops know what distance they have to be away, from getting hit with the taser. They shot him in the back. Why couldn't these cops have just called the guy's wife to pick him up and move his car?The shooting was not justified. Cops need to be trained how to de-escalate and situation, not pull a gun every time someone runs away from them.

Today's Tasers have two shots before reloading and can be triggered to send more charges to the wire connected probes to maintain control of the detainee. I do not know of any police Dept that would allow their members to be tased without allowing them to defend themselves. If the Dept does not back this guy up, then there is a major problem in this country, and this really IS a racial problem. Because if that guy was white, and the COP was either white or black, there would be no question that it was justified. |

Anger. Better an unoccupied building suffers, than the anger generated from someone taking away your taser...and you exercising that anger by shooting and killing them in the back. :ohdear: |
To those that ‘serve and protect’ ...
abbreviated 1934 obituary for my great great uncle .. With the passing of John Marasco, last sunday night, DesMoines lost one of its eldest Italian American residents and pioneers. Mr Marasco was born in Italy in 1854 and came to America ... For the past 34 years, he has been a resident of Des Moines and has been employed by the city police department for 27 years. While in this position, he made friends with thousands of his neighbors. He is survived by his widow and 6 children. He was known among the Italian and American people for his active service in the protection of his community. His many friends mourn his passing and send sincere condolences to his family ... I guess it’s not 1934 anymore !!! |
Right on, my brutha!!

The problem that is not being identified is that it is unreasonable to think you can negotiate with people under the influence. Nurses in the ER do it every day and have learned how even when they become combative. Aggressive behavior never works and when you use it, you escalate the situation. Appropriate community safety would be to either let him run to his house or talk to him and give him time to get sober. Those actions could be taken by non police individuals. Current policing is filled with men and some women who get off on power and dominance. Psychological evaluations should be done every six months on police and those with anger management issues need to be terminated or treated.

Excellent points. :thumbup: I will also add, that I think the low starting salary in so many cases/areas...tends to draw (or at least not deter) those types. :ohdear: |

Even in the old western movies it was unlawfully to shoot a man in the back while he’s running away. Bottom line.
Every time A black person get unlawfully killed. There are riots. Solution : stop killing people in the streets just because you can. When I was young Policemen were peace officers today they are a kick ass and take names squad. And there were thugs and gangs back then as well. There was also a lot of organized crime families all across the country. On top of that there were Motorcycle gangs just getting started and they run rampant over civilians trying to establish their culture. I’m sure there are Exceptions but in these last several black people killings In recent memory none of these people were armed. Furthermore there were always several policeman at the scene when these assaults the place. You would think but several trained policeman Could easily contain any one person. Something is really wrong in this picture ! |
Love the cop haters. They already have the cop charged and convicted so let’s skip everything and go directly to execution. To hell with that due process crap.
Let’s backup and look at what we know and more importantly what we don’t know. We know that Brooks violently resisted arrest. We don’t know why and neither did the cops. They just knew he resisted violently to the point of punching one in the face and taking the taser. Why did he take the taser? Again, we don’t know. Was it so the cop couldn’t use it on him? If he took it use it why didn’t he do it right then and there? He had the opportunity. Again we don’t know. Given the violent nature of his resistance were the cops now compelled to apprehend? Why did he resist so violent to a measly DUI? Was he hiding something else? We and the cops don't know. Did the cops ever search him for weapons or contraband? We don’t know but they probably hadn’t. They usually do so once they arrest someone. They didn’t get to that point. He resisted and broke loose. Lastly he turned and pointed something at the cop. Given that the cops probably did not, as yet, search him, was the cop 100% (not 99% or less) sure that it was the taser being pointed at him and not a gun? After all the cop had plenty of time to determine what it was and make a decision of what to do – what maybe 1 second. Again, something we do not know. When something is pointed at a cop especially during an altercation how are they supposed to react? Actually we all know the answer to that. Cop haters - he should do nothing and maybe get shot himself. Cop supporters - shoot immediately to protect himself and possibly others. How many people have been shot by turning with a cell phone or keys in their hands? But all the Monday morning cop hating quarterbacks knew it was a taser. I guess we must admit and apparently accept the fact that nowadays it’s fashionable to rush to judgement and convict when it’s a white cop / black suspect shooting, even by an alleged retired cop who responded to this thread. So let’s skip any possible exculpatory evidence and get right to the execution. Screw that due process crap! |
He will lose. A taser has been deemed a non-lethal weapon in the courts, multiple times. No other actions could be deemed as placing no one in immediate danger. The subject was fleeing, that was all. The officer's had is car and identity. He could've been picked up later. The officer will be charged with a homicide.

No, the criminal was running to his car. The officer, honoring his oath "to serve and protect", prevented the drunk (and probably drugged-up) low-life from killing innocent women and children. There! |

I am more willing to give the Police the benefit of doubt than a criminal, especially one that has a past and one that fights the police when they are doing their duty. I find lynch mobs, whether physically or verbally to be abhorrent. Here's some facts for anyone that wishes to argue: The deceased was intoxicated The deceased was incapable of operating a motor vehicle The deceased was uncooperative The deceased was under arrest The deceased resisted arrest The deceased assaulted a police officer (a felony in some states) The deceased escaped arrest The deceased stole police property, a weapon The deceased attempted to use said weapon on the police Where is what I said "shameful?" |

Also, the cop deserves a jury of his peers. I wish him good luck with that! |

Sadly, it won't be all that hard finding "peers," that would kill a black man in the back with 2 shots, while they were no threat...and running away. :ohdear: |
