Wait he had a warrant for all that? What were they doing for 30 minutes, was that ultra long line of questioning really important? He can't remember how many drinks.. why waste so much time trying to get him to say he had more drinks just do the damn test I don't get it.
Also I love Trump and I'm definitely not a libtard, but.. I don't agree that the officer was in danger, it was a stun gun, he should not have shot the man 4 times. If he was so intoxicated then they should've have just chased him and beat the shit out of him. Or maybe 1 shot, to the leg? He didn't deserve to die, but the officer certainly doesn't either. He made a bad split second decision, getting fired and 5 years probation is more than fair imo
You’re an officer armed with a gun and a taser. Someone takes your taser from you and attempts to incapacitate you with it, which would give them access to your firearm.
What do you do?
There are just too many moving parts here. If I was a cop right now, I would shirley be aware of the shit situation our country is in and therefore think twice about shooting to kill a dui suspect who did not have a lethal weapon who was running away.
The 40 minutes of talking was way too much don't they have better things to do? It should have been no talking, just sobriety test and arrest or no arrest. He said plainly "Im ready to go home" right before the officer tried to cuff him, didn't seem out of control. Maybe they should have given him the choice to walk home and leave the car or go to jail.
If I was a cop I would've known that trying to tase me while running away from me while being out of range would not incapacitate me, that it's more of a desperate move from an intoxicated person. In my opinion he was trying to get away, to "go home" , that sad attempt of trying to tase the cop back was a deserate act to slow the cop down enough so he can somehow outrun him and his partner. I think they will have a hard time trying to convince a jury Brooks goal was to incapacitate the cop long enough to steal his firearm, and then shoot them both down in front of all those people.
He wasn’t running away. If you are running away then you aren’t aiming and firing a taser at a cop. Why didn’t he just drop the taser and book it?
Ironically that’s probably what got him killed. The officers were going easy on him. Should have just tased him immediately instead of warning him.
Aim? I disagree if you look closer at the video Brooks fired right after he turned his arm and shot the taser way to the right of Rolfe, he wasn't even close. He was sloppily trying to get away from them seems to me, and not attempting to murder 2 police officers.. Is that what you are saying? They did seem to go easy on him at first, much easier than I've seen on similar episodes of Cops from the past, especially the first officer before Rofle came for "backup".
The being aware of the country's situation goes for both of them, Brooks was on probation right? What kind of maniac who has been through the system falls back asleep again after a cop wakes you up behind the wheel? Doesn't make any sense, he was odd and goofy the whole time, didn't really seem that wasted. It almost seems like he planned this whole thing, so that his baby momma and daughters would have some kind of a future from all the attention they will get - especially right now in "these times"
My buddy his dad got hit hard by the 2007 housing recession, he purposely overdosed on xanax and other meds, but made it look like an accident so his wife would get the insurance money and be taken care of for the rest of her life. Just saying stranger things have happened
Really? This is not the movies.
Ok fair enough, I suppose that would be harder to do, and there's also the possibility of ricochets. How about a just a couple shots in the air that seems to get most peoples attention, then if the bastard keeps running he's obviously crazy and maybe should be put down.
I think he was unjustified in shooting brooks, I type that with a straight face, but at the same he was doing the job he was trained for. Would a long prison sentence bring justice to Brooks and his family? No, the guy shouldn't have been drinking and driving and should not have assaulted the officers. All around bad situation, but not racist.. Maybe for that reason this will red pill some of these lifelong dems in atlanta
