    Totally false, as has already been explained to you it's time to stop lying and understand the reality of Conducted Energy Weapons.

    The policeman was faced with a set of circumstances. When he viewed that set of circumstances, he found a man asleep in his car blocking other people. When the man was approached, he smelled alcohol. The logical conclusion is that person was driving that car and had been drinking. The officer had no alternative except to arrest him.

    He resisted arrest. The first reaction of the policeman was not to shoot him. He tried to physically subdue him. When the man ran away with his taser, the policeman's life was in danger because that taser could be used on him allowing the man to take his gun. When the man turned towards the policeman with that taser, the policeman has no choice except to shoot.

    Explain it again. I must have missed how an unarmed man fleeing from police had their lives in danger

    Nonresponsive fail.

    The question was "Do you hunt."

    Try again

    He pointed the TASER at an officer that made him very dangerous.

    Once again incorrect, he was an armed person and that is what got him shot.

    Sorry but your imagination is not "evidence".

    In the first place that cop was not alone. Even HAD the unrealistic series you claim "could happen" taken place...that cop had an armed partner just feet away.

    Fact remains...the victim was unarmed and fleeing the cop. He was NOT a danger to that cop. There was no reason to kill him.

    A taser is not a deadly weapon. And that's according to Georgia police.

    You could just as easily claim the victim could have taken off his shoe and used that as a weapon

    So fail.

    You are trying to paint the cop as if he is going out with the intention of killing. That is not his intent. It is more similar to me going into the woods with a gun for protection than it is for someone to go into the woods to hunt.

    You are correct. It doesn't matter how he got there. He was drunk and he was the driver. End of story.

    you ever wake up a passed out drunk and try and get them to do something??? i have. it usually doesnt end well. they get belligerent and pissed off. in this case the guy was already drunk driving so its a moot point. he ended up dead because he fought with cops.

    what system will take care of it when you support resisting arrest and violence without consequences of being arrested? How could this man ever be arrested if he just did same thing everytime?

    He resisted arrest, beat up the cops, used taser on one cop after being violent. He was a threat, he could’ve easily tased and incapacitated the officer, stolen his gun and killed him, he had already exhibited violence.

    You all are encouraging crime, it’s a disgrace. How about two guys beat the crap out of you, rob you and cops happen to drive by, the guys just yell ‘f u’ and just get in car and leave. So then what? Cops file a police report? The thugs are just free to go and do same to someone else a block away? Then, when other cops go to get them, the thugs do the same? Resist arrest, tell cops ‘f u’.

    what the h are people like you doing? You are encouraging crime, trying to change policing so they are useless, they can’t even arrest a violent and dangerous person. This type f thinking will make the country unsafe, sends the wrong message and truly scary.

    that was a justified shooting, if you resist arrest and assault a cop, threaten them, there can be severe consequences, including loss of your life.

    He demonstrated that by assaulting them. Then, he pointed a weapon at them.

    No one is talking about the cop's intention. His ACTIONS...in shooting a fleeing unarmed man are the issue

    Really?

    How do you know intent?

    Please tell me my intentions with regard to shopping.

    Or maybe you have no idea of intent?

    But, in terms of law?
    going somewhere with a gun and killing someone?
    In court your bringing the gun is sufficient to demonstrate intent.

    He was sleeping, not driving. So, not a moot point.
    Still, you think sleeping behind the wheel while the car is in park should be a capital offense?
    Is that for everyone or just Black people?

    If they had wakened him and sent him home in an Uber he'd be alive.

    Doing things different IS THE POINT!

    A. If the key was in the ignition...then yes...it could be prosecuted as drunk driving...IF he failed a breathalyzer test. Was one given?

    B. If the key was not in the ignition...the guy who was killed may very well have realized that he was too drunk to drive and done the responsible thing and parked his car to sleep it off (He had been at a kid's birthday party)

    As I stated, it doesn't matter how he got there.

    I'm unclear that shooting an unarmed fleeing man is "justified"

    Which is why that cop was fired already

    I tell you what... how about cops just not respond to calls involving African Americans anymore. We can have a special, racial sensitivity squad that goes out instead and tells them they are important, gives them some ice cream and a hug, then leaves.

    Really?

    So his taking the weapon was self defense.
    And they murdered a man who was defending himself.

    Care to make a different argument?

    Better than murdering Black people.

    At least you're on the right track.
    Even if you don't know it.

    Exactly. They could have called a taxi and locked the man's keys in his car

    That actually happened to me once. Black cop . I'm white.

    Had left a meeting of my homebrewer club and was pulled over for speeding. The cop checked my license. Talked to me a bit. I admitted I had had a few beers. He had me pull my car into a parking lot and locked my keys inside and called a taxi.

    THAT could have been the result here. And should have
