It's a non deadly weapon that can incapacitate, and an officer who's incapacitated cannot defend his firearm and is at the mercy of the criminal.

It really doesn't matter what evidence is brought to light.
People are on all platforms of social media saying that resisting an arrest for failing sobriety test, stealing a taser for an officer, then pointing it at them while he's evading them, means he was "fighting for his life" and that the officers should have just let him run away.
Voting Americans are literally saying that shite. Weird times.

I'm not usually one just to jump to a cop's defense, but everything you typed there is between a reach and an outright lie.
That guy was an absolute danger. Nothing in his actions indicated he was trying to flee. He very clearly turned to engage the officer. He had the taser and could have incapacitated the officer. Given his prior action my thought would be that that was his goal so that he could then upgrade to the gun. I would have shot too. I dont even see how this could be considered controversial.

If he had actually tased the cop and went for the gun the other cop would have shot him way before the he got to the gun.
This isn’t a justified shooting, when the cop shot him he was completely facing forward and running.
There is no justification for shooting him in the back.

What’s the time stamp of the video where we can view that?

Nope, like I said in the Edit on the first post of the thread. Brooks was likely a piece of crap, he was a felon. That doesn’t mean he should have died.

Try to fight a cop and bad things can happen. Your decisions have consequences, that was a bad decision. But you lefties go cry about your feewings!

Non-compliance doesn’t mean he should get a death sentence.

Sometimes people have to be rescued from themselves, you’re that person.
When you’re interacting with law enforcement it’s a simple decorum.......yes sir, no sir....we all go home, unless you’re a criminal.

This is the correct answer. If he tased the cop, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he would go for his gun again,
Just one guy's opinion here, but this seems to be the disconnect. In our country our overall concept about police use of deadly force (or whatever force they deem justified at the time to use) is based on what IS happening, not on "realm of possibilities" which is too subjective from person to person to keep in check.
This isn't a judgment against police in general, only of bad choices by a relatively very few cops. In fact I don't think it's unreasonable to believe that many police officers share this same opinion.

Once again, not a leftie. Just against unjustified police killings. If Brooks has actually fired the taser and turned around and went for the cops gun I’d be here saying he deserved it but that’s not what happened, he pointed it at the cop, then immediately turned around and took 4 steps before he was shot squarely in the back, and that’s wrong.

Lol...you want the officer to wait until after the suspect has taken a taser from a fellow officer and then tased that officer to respond. Ludicrous.

Should a person be able to walk up to a cop, sucker punch him in the jaw, immediately run away and expect to not get shot? Is a cop justified to shoot, in that instance?
I'm just trying to find where that fine line is, in your mind.

Earlier, I had agreed that the shooting was unjustified because the decedent was apparently feeling from the officers.
However, there might be video evidence corroborating the Atlanta PD's claim that Mr. Brooks stopped, turned around, and pointed the taser at the pursuing officers. If that is true, that changes my mind, and I would agree that the shooting was justified.

Honest question. Is this about cops in general shooting citizens or just white cops shooting black citizens?
Cops in general. I don’t think race plays a massive role in these shootings (some yes, but not most), I think what causes shite like this to happen are cops that aren’t trained well enough to deal with the situation.

9 hours of your Saturday spent defending a thug criminal.

You claim to have a PhD. Sorry but I'm not believing that. You simply aren't that smart.

1. I thought that you said that he was unarmed but in the video it shows him with a weapon. Which is it?
2. A taser passed electricity through someone’s body and have killed over 1,000 people.
