Yeah but you are ignoring the situation. The complainants in these cases are often poor individuals with criminal histories. The accused wrongdoers are police officers. Unless the case has garnered a significant amount of media attention the chances the government is going to win any suit is high.

that is correct. it's wrong to assault police. it's wrong to steal a police officer's taser. it's wrong to point that taser at police.

once Brooks is running away with the taser, what should police in that situation do? allow him to run away?

if the police in that case did not pursue, Brooks wouldn't have been able to point the taser at the police that wouldn't be following?

but then you have someone allegedly drunk with a police officer's taser. what if he then went on to use that on someone else.

These stats are pretty crazy. In 2019 police killed over 1,000 people. But what about justified killings you ask? Well yeah, I’m sure a lot were justified. How many do you think were justified in the eyes of the law?

Try 99%. That’s right, 99% of all the killings have not resulted in any charges for the officer involved. I think we can all agree that Is BS.

Do you have any evidence of this assertion or are you simply going by your super SJW, white knighting, spidey sense?

Any evidence that 99% of all police killings in 2019 were not justified? Only common sense. Are you saying you believe 99% of those killings were justified?

The one thing good about having Asperger is I am hard to read. Often my Asperger is considered a sign of stupidity at those poker tables until I started winning. Anyway, a couple of local blacks, this was a college town, broke into his house, rough up him and his roommate and spared his wife, stole his money and pot.

When the cops came, they ask Larry who did it and he will have his pot and money back that night. He was back in business the next day.

There are more drugs sold in college dormitories than in my middle-class black neighborhood (yes, they do exist) at that time, which is gotten from the locals with the police department blessing. It got so bad in that area with police involvement in the drug business that the DEA set their office in that town. Their results were laughable.

One time this college town went dry for a month when the federal government shut down three counties' police departments for drug dealing in Kentucky.

If anybody has seen the show "Justify", they will remember the Bennett family where one son was the county police chief and the other son was a major drug dealer in the region. That was an accurate accounting of what goes on in some of these rural counties.

The Illinois police gave the dealer his pot back? What year was this?

that doesn't even take into account Brooks while running point the taser back at the officer.


https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/13/us/at...dys/index.html







could the police officers have continued chasing him without firing at Brooks, hoping he stops or tires out and doesn't shoot the taser where they could have then apprehended him?

I'm sure ideally there could have been a method that didn't end in death, but what could that have been? what can police do to change how this incident progressed?

whatever people feel about this shooting, what did burning Wendy's do. even for those that think this shooting was wrong/racist, burning Wendy's or any other rioting doesn't help.

Guess what? It's even more wrong to shoot someone dead. Of course you take the cops side though.

For the same reason I’d be skeptical if you told me you flipped a coin 100 times in a row and it came out heads 99 times. The chances are just incredibly low.

Especially considering the multitude of police shootings coming to light that were anything but above board.
