    Well one I’m probably too old to join the force now and two I’ve actually trained LE in takedown and submission techniques.

    Would love to see a video of you actually apprehending someone ... the biggest issue is you have no idea how the real world differs from internet crash courses , never find fault with minority victims, and keep arguing when no one with actual law enforcement experience agrees with you.

    The point is that after a struggle with someone resisting, even after being tased, the suspect is able free himself and almost kill. So the argument that Brooks wasn't a danger to the officer(s) when he had their taser and pointed it back and it flashed is complete bullshish. Anything could happen as demonstrated in the posted video.

    Charging the officer with murder in ATL is ridiculous.

    Sounds pretty stupid. Post a video of you delicately arresting a criminal that ignores you then resists arrest, fights back, throws you to the ground, then you have earnt the right to talk. But we know you've never dealt with real world situations.

    It undermines the legitimate parts of BLM. Black community could have shut this down if they were interested in change, but they seem to be rooting for chaos instead. Have fun living in a city with no police and tons of entitled idiots.

    I'm done with BLM. I'm down with the concept of black lives matter, because they absolutely do. But the movement is corrupt to the core. It's a political tool and nobody is calling out the violence people are committing in the name of BLM. And I'm talking about white people, black people, different people attacking people in while holding a sign saying BLM. There's a lot of info out there about the $$ that BLM takes in and where it goes to. It's another example of a noble cause that got corrupted and the only black people calling them out are conservatives like Candace Owens....But she calls out everything and everyone, so it's like 'yeah Candace, you're loud. We hear you but we're not listening'. How about someone on the left calling them out? I'll call out any white nationalist or hate group. BLM the org. has turned into hate group. Step up and recognize the damage it's causing.

    On one hand, I do kind of get how cops are frustrated with this case. To me it is different than George Floyd. On the other hand, not sure this is the right move to make if cops want people to think better of them. The public is bunching together all these police killing in their mind right now.

    Kind of an interesting experiment. Maybe the absence of these cops will show how a city can replace cops if/when it defunds police.

    Good point. What I've said from the beginning is there won't be social progress until both sides are willing to make changes within their own communities. Cultural change.
    The police are clearly prosecuting and sentencing cops who go on power trips, are racist, unnecessarily cruel and have been doing so. They can do more but at the same time, for every isolated incident we see going viral, there are 99.9% you hear nothing about.
    The other side hasn't lowered violent crime, looks the the other way when it's committed and justifies it in the name of slavery, keeps demanding more affirmative action, apparently also want open borders so hard working immigrants can make them demand more affirmative action, and have no clear cut direction other than attacking Trump. Can't forget that after 8 years of Obama, there were riots and AA's shooting snipers to kill cops. The best thing for the left to do is have a clear cut message of accountability, but not once has anyone ever said you are responsible for your actions. They want excuses because having more "friends" will boost their bottom line.

    ultimately, people listen to who they think their friends are, not what's best for them or the community. you see it here with people who claim to be educated. no one, ever, who has lived in poverty and made it out would disagree with me because we can't afford to be delusional. we have to see clearly and make the most of our opportunities... and no other country in the world provides more. we're not going to see a change on the street level when you don't see it amongst the college educated ( equally brainwashed in their belief system).

    Any cop that walks out because a cop that made a mistake is being held accountable is part of the problem.

    Are you claiming Brooks almost killed the cop? That's BS. Brooks wrestled with the cop, took his taser, ran from the cop aimed it poorly, and was shot in the back which is against ATL police procedure supposedly. He wasn't endangering the cop's life. The cop started drawing his gun before Brooks even pointed the taser at him.

    Nobody said anyone had to 'delicately' arrest anyone. Try again.

    I have. I was a C.O. for T.D.C.J. many years ago. I had no taser, just my fists, later a can of pepper spray was allowed, that's it. They were ALL convicted felons and on an average day, I'd be supervising 150 inmates by myself. IMO this job should be a requirement before policing.

    I later attained my Peace Officer Certification and was offered employment from several departments. But, during the long application processes, a better opportunity presented itself.

    If two officers can't arrest 1 man, their training is severely lacking. Some Law Enforcement Academies are better than others.

    During my training, it was drilled into my head that if I ever pulled that trigger, it had better be a rightful action. These was from our instructors, attorneys, and representatives from the AG's office. It went as far as suggesting types of ammunition that would be least likely to go through someone and hit another.

    As far as the Sheriff that said this was a rightful shooting, well I'll tell you this, it would be very difficult to find any officer to say that it wasn't. The blue line is very real.

    If I was pursuing an arrest on foot, with my taser aimed at the suspect with a fellow officer nearby and 10-20 more on the way and I decided to pull my firearm out and after the running suspect fired the taser at me, I shot and killed him. I'd feel like if be in deep s**t.

    During the time above, my life or the life others or threat of immediate serious bodily injury to myself or anyone else wouldn't be present. This is very important especially if Georgia's Penal Code is similar to Texas.
