George Floyd murdered by cops

[walrus]

See, now I lean to the flip side. Firstly does a cop not get due process of any sort. Here's all I know, the man was found to be operating a vehicle while intoxicated. resisted arrest, punched a cop, disarmed him and subsequently turned and fired at him. A taser yep a taser but a taser is a weapon. I'm not all 'hey blast the crap out of him' but I don't think any of us can say we'd not rattle under exactly 2-3 seconds in that situation. Devils advocate but I just think we're entering an unrealistic load on people who are in a position to stop crime. It's a whole different world when we start saying 'let a guy go who just assaulted cops and attempted to target them' get away for another day. We say the cop knew he had a taser did the suspect know it was a taser. It sucks and no one should have died but this is a whole new can of worms requiring a cop to throw their hands up and walk away from literally 4,5 crimes committed. Things are going to get real messy.

I just think it's quite a distance between perceiving a threat to your own life (if you're the cop), and just not wanting someone to get away. Shooting fleeing suspects in the back is becoming all too common and, if that's gonna be the standard from now on...... police forces should just come out and say it, instead of blabbing on about only using deadly force when it's absolutely necessary.

Yeh true. The first thought I had was the one a couple of years ago where the cop was allowed to plea out..at first..for shooting Walter Scott in that park. But the cop stopped to take a firing position and just unloaded on the poor guy who was fully turned and completely unarmed. That shat even ended in a hung jury, insanely enough, if I remember right. But again with this one it's all in an instant and I can't get into a cops head after a violent altercation. I just think with the way detractors and defenders are rolling out scenarios that we'll see tons of like reaction now even if Brooks had stopped and was still pointing the taser directly at him.

I agree, man... and I can totally see where this can quickly turn into a snowball of shit. Overreactions or mob mentality is something I remember from sociology class in high school. That, and the pendulum theory. We seem so fucking maddeningly unable to separate the facts from the myths in individual cases..... it just becomes a giant human feeding frenzy. I'll mention @El Kabong in here, as I've been arguing pretty heavily on the side of the black men lately.... and I know in theory we're all on the same side. Believe me..... last thing I want is for police officers to have to say, "Wait..... let me pull out the 1,000-page handbook that tells me what I'm allowed to do with your fist-swinging ass." Sort of like the scene from Demolition Man where the cops were trying to take down Simon Phoenix using harsh language.

I think this snowball of shit has already formed, and unfortunately I think it's going to get worse before it gets better. For the life of me, I wish someone with common sense had a giant megaphone and could yell to the whole nation some even-headed message. Something along the lines that yes..... police reform is sorely needed. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE....... do not punch cops, try to disarm them, and then run off and expect a slap on the wrist. Detainees could use a few tanker-fuls of common sense when interacting with police.

Having said this, I still don't think Brooks deserved to be killed with shots in the back. He had been totally ID'ed..... and he wasn't going to get far. Throw his ass in jail and fuck him up with a big enough fine, so he'll learn how to behave when confronted by law officers with guns.

I can understand that point of view. I can also understand he turned and pointed something at a cop while running. These split second things have a high probability of something going wrong. I still say it’s a shame someone died over this.

The cop KNEW it was her own tazer he had grabbed and was running with. It looks like a tazer. It LIT UP like a tazer. Then, the black man stopped trying to fire the tazer, and turned his back to continue running a few steps BEFORE he was shot. He was no threat with his back turned. Neither is a tazer a threat.

He was executed.

The cop knew it was a tazer because?? The cop had just been assaulted and had it wrenched from her hand. After which it was fired at her.



Sorry, that's ok to shoot that person. I'm ok with that. Be arrested and live or do that. You try doing that next time you interact with a cop and tell us how it goes.

I can see why people are upset, I also see the difference between this and kneeling crazy cop. I’m sure others here have been involved in foot pursuits after being attacked. I’m sure others have had to do restraints that were quite a struggle. There is a lot going on, when someone is trying to grab your weapon, any weapon, it’s next level shit. They aren’t trying to get it to sell at a pawn shop.

I would imagine there would be varying degrees of empathy toward those killed by most on here, although it's normal that there would be some differences of opinion on each individual case.

I think most on here agree that it's a really bad idea to resist arrest and then be surprised when you're getting shot.

I think most on here agree that police brutality has gotten out of hand, and black men seem disproportionately affected by this terrible problem.

I think most on here would agree that there's lots to do to get this situation in hand.

We've only got two complete outliers from the normal bell curve:

• TIC, who comically thinks everything that happens in life is staged.
• Denilson, who equally comically says every white man on Earth is a white supremacist.

But every forum has its oddballs.... what can you do.

I still maintain that shooting civilians in the back is something that's probably not found in any policeman's employee handbook.

chico exaggerating again. becoming as big a liar as beanz. how quickly he forgot about the plandemic for the next scam the tv told him to focus on

And I still say I don’t think legally this was a justifiable shooting. I will be interested to see what the courts do with it. I can see why the cop would react this way, I really don’t think it was a racial thing, I think the cop reacted in a way that won’t be justifiable use of deadly force. Anyone here what they are thinking of charging him with. So stupid all around, if the dude took the DWI charge he’d probably be home tonight. Why did he switch and attack the cop. And if the cop had maybe 3millisecond pause in his We wouldn’t be talking about this. Shit moves so fast in situations like this I can’t even begin to explain.
