It was a bad decision, PERIOD! You are responsible for your actions, it’s a friggin law bro! Live a life of violence and your life will end prematurely!

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
This is the definition of an unjustified shooting.
Punching a cop in the jaw is assault of a police which doesn’t give the cop the right to shoot him if he immediately runs away. C’mon man.
Now if the dude is in the act of kicking the shite out of the cop like the POS Micheal Brown was, it’s completely justified.
Hell, if brooks had been shot while he was assaulting the cops and reaching for the taser I would say it’s justified but the dude was fleeing.

That is such an asinine argument.

They are smarter than that dead guy. They didn't fight with cops.

Apparently the consensus is that, due to our privilege, if we did this, they cops would laugh it off, give us gift cards to the local steak house and we'd receive the medal of honor from the President of the United States

Let me ask it this way. Is there anything this guy could have done that he didn’t do that would make this shoot more justified? Especially if he turned and aimed the taser at the cops.

You are coming off as a retarded troll.

I disagree with the statement but even if I was as stupid as you think it isn’t hard to believe.
Lots of people are booksmart but have no common sense.

With a weapon which he pointed at the officers.
This isn't like the officers provoked this situation. They were justifiably arresting someone who escalated the situation.
People are literally just lumping all interactions between law enforcement and black people as George Floyd type situations.
Willful ignorance.

He was fleeing

I'm a Black man and the guy in Atlanta deserved to die for what he did. Furthermore, the cops can shoot anyone who they know is armed and dangerous. This guy was armed and dangerous.
Are you watching the 2 black attorneys from Atlanta?
Literally pushing for a civil war...
Basically excuse fighting of 2 officers...
Hold cops 1000 responsible...
Pretty much saying the cops should be counselors...and if they should have had conversation with the man
"If you fear black people you shouldn't be a cop"

1. I thought that you said that he was unarmed but in the video it shows him with a weapon. Which is it?
That’s what the initial report said, I’ve since edited the post.

2. A taser passed electricity through someone’s body and have killed over 1,000 people.
Then why do cops consider them non-lethal and for most departments the cops have to go through getting tased during training?

Stealing a weapon from police and pointing it at them isn't a reason to use lethal force on someone who had previously demonstrated they had zero regard for the law? Now you're just being disingenuous.

Drunk driver taser thief would still be alive also had he not resisted arrest, stolen a weapon, then aimed it at police officers.
Not every incident involving a white officer and a black perpetrator is a race issue.

when the cop shot him he was completely facing forward and running
Incorrect
quote:
The GBI released security camera video of the shooting Saturday. The footage shows a man running from two white police officers as he raises a hand, which is holding some type of object, toward an officer a few steps behind him. The officer draws his gun and fires as the man keeps running, then falls to the ground in the parking lot.

Wanna bet? It would make it the exact same scenario as Micheal Brown which was the most justified shooting I can remember.

The cop?
No, but we judge justification on the level of reasonably perceived threat experienced by the officer. So the cops actions really aren’t going to change that.

These attorneys seem completely reasonable.
It’s actually a breath of fresh air coming from that side.
