And I find that to be VERY "shameful."
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?"

I watched all the videos and believe it may be justifiable homicide. If we were on the as same jury I would vote acquittal and the cop would go free.

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

As this continues more and more LEO members will become more passive when encountering unlawful incidents.
Which will in turn lead to more criminals and thugs getting away with their crimes.

Those who serve and protect are in danger of being emasculated by those who run cities and states.

What individual, black or any other, in their right mind in this day and age would fight police, resist arrest, run away and shoot at police???

A drunken, frighted poor sheep that was not treated like a Christian. Would Jesus have shot?

What the world and the US of A needs now.....in the sense of money/resources stolen from the taxpayer is MORE IRS officers to catch the white-collar criminals. That money recovered could pay for more neighborhood beat police PLUS many social workers.

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.

Don't know who "they are.


Don't know what it take to be a "good one".


Don't know what "young" is.


Don't know why I posted this.

Don't know why I laughed at that?

It appeared to me he assaulted two cops. Subsequent to him aborting their handcuffing him they had him down on the pavement. He violently threw them off. He may have been juiced up on something which would make him irrational and dangerous. The autopsy should show what he was on. He was a thug and had a violent history, including cruelty to a child, unforgivable.

The thugs just don’t get it , do what the cops order you to do and good chance you. Will be around for breakfast the next day. Ignorance is not an excuse , I don’t blame the police.

Over the years trillions have already been flushed down the drain through well meaning but worse than worthless social programs. While I am all for catching white collar criminals - the IRS could start with Al Sharpton who owes what, $7M? in unpaid taxes - I am more fearful of violent crime much of which is caused at least in part by ineffective historic policies designed to help but in fact aggravating the situation.

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 take it that the "THERE" definitively settle this issue. But, one small detail....a whole line of people-occupied-cars was close to the shooter's line of fire.

CNN he was an outstanding father..Even though he was drunk and passed out in the drive through lane

Cops need to be trained how to de-escalate and situation, not pull a gun every time someone runs away from them.

He didn’t just run away

Thank you! The left wing IT outfits are making it extremely difficult to locate through computer searches background information on both these thugs, Floyd and Brooks. The lamestream media wants to portray them as virtuous responsible law abiding contributing members of society who were mercilessly gunned down by racist police officers whereas in reality they were any but such folk. They were convicted violent felons.
