It’s spreading to Georgia now.

It should not matter what you are suspected of doing. Cops can, have and still shoot when anyone resists. If you have a problem with that, it's simple. Dont resist. But no.. some people are so ###### thick in the skull that they believe with a cell phone video, some protesters and a free defense lawyer that they can get off from doing any time . Many can and do get off, But still, these people have yet to realize that if you commit a crime and get caught, you're gonna do time. If you commit a crime and resist, you're gonna get shot. Maybe criminals will finally learn. Maybe they won't. These ##### protests certainly won't change a ###### thing for the better. These protests only encourage those who would not normally resist to resist. Simple as that.

 

That’s the truth right there. If they took the time and prosecuted all these thousands of people looting Walmart’s and other stores. Sadly, I bet 80% are people that don’t even have a record. It’s turning ordinarily good people into criminals. It shouldn’t be popular and glorified to loot, cuss out officers, and damage property.

 

There is a crime and there is a crime. Various levels of seriousness. What if you don't commit a crime at all and they still want something from you? There is no ####ing way or law that resisting an arrest is enough to get you killed. Especially resisting without possibility to endanger life of officers. Maybe there will be a bad drunken cop one day trying to arrest you and you supposed bend his arse for him? That guy was not a wanted murderer or a fugitive just drunken fool who panicked and started to run. I watched all too many "Cops" episodes where all kinds of folks resisted and fought being handcuffed, including housewives and dealing pot teenagers. All of them could have been killed? I don't think so.​

 

Wait a minute. I said clearly that It did not look like racism had anything to do with this incident. It is about the mishandling of force by law enforcement.

 

I am assuming that "they" are cops? Weather i commit a crime or not, if a cop stops me and wants to question me, no problem. Even if I know that I'm 100% in the clear, common sense and knowing what I know says that I will comply 100%. I'll stay alive, I won't be injured and my lawyers can hash it out later. Unlike some other dead people, I have learned from their mistakes. And in case you haven't been paying attention, there is a way that resisting an arrest is enough to get you killed. Don't ever bring a taser to a gun fight.

 

Do you realize you're feeding into the bs and making yourself come off as ignorant im going to assume not. Murder is murder and thats what happened here. 2 cops 2 guns 2 batons 1 taser + other crap that im not even aware of vs 1 drunk guy and a taser running away that not to mention missed the first shot..... come on don't be stupid

 

OK . You are a calm, not hot headed citizen that respects the law and that's good. I am like that too.
There are men or women, however, who never had a criminal history that are simply going to protests and resist, especially under influence, that's in their nature. Think of All of these college kids that are thinking they can do whatever they want on a Spring Break in FL.
They should be punished by the law for resisting but them police should know how to handle them...they are pros who are trained and tested for that sort of situations. There must be an abyss of possibilities before shooting them dead. This case, surely, could have been handled differently. I don't think that guy, even if escaped, would have posed a deadly danger to the public. He'd just hide and lay low for a week or two. Now his daughter has not father.

 

Looks to me like law enforcement handled the situation well. No innocent lives were harmed and the public once again saw firsthand what happens when you resist.

 

The guy who died was innocent enough to stay alive in my 100% honest opinion.
Public should not fear police like they are Gestapo in the 3rd Reich either.
Respect yes, but not fear.
And I am not even a leftist zealot or anarchist either. I value the police work but I can tell easily what is overdone and what is not. Thank God, it does not happen everywhere, all the time. These are isolated cases. Most of the cops know what they are doing. They just show the worst incidents on social media to make them all look bad - that's not true nor fair. I support my local police department.

 

If someone holds a flame to their hand , they get burned and that's painful. Many people know that the result of playing with fire is often painful even though they have never been fool enough to play with fire. These men and women without any criminal history that you speak of, if they dont already know that resisting authority can be hazardous to your health, I don't know what to tell you? If that's their nature, too bad for them. Being under the influence only makes them an easier target when they decide to resist.
