Hell, it’s just like...let em run away anymore. Let them go. Not worth all the crap that goes along with this.
Lethal/non-lethal. Force with equivalent force. Fist with fist. Gun with gun. Knife with knife. More and more I see if I wanna be a criminal, and drive drunk or make stupid decisions I’d have the upper hand on both sides.
Tying their hands and giving the criminal an advantage.
Seems it isn’t even worth being a cop anymore.
From an article about it: "The Atlanta Police officer who shot and killed Rayshard Brooks at a Wendy's parking lot last week was charged with felony murder, and the other officer on scene was charged with aggravated assault, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard announced Wednesday.
The decision comes just five days after Brooks was shot twice in the back in Atlanta during an attempted arrest. Officer Garrett Rolfe, who shot at Brooks three times, has already been fired, and officer Devin Brosnan, who was also on scene, has been put on administrative duty.
After shooting Brooks, Rolfe said "I got him" and kicked him, and Brosnan then stood on Brooks' shoulder, Howard said. The officers did not provide medical aid to Brooks for over two minutes after shooting him, Howard said.
Their demeanor after the shooting "did not reflect any fear or danger of Mr. Brooks, but reflected other kinds of emotions," Howard said."
I'm lucky 2 of the police, both women, were there. The 4 others never made any objections to the cop that was definitely escalating the situation and blowing it out of proportion.
Heres a press release from the GBI after the charges were announced:
"The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was requested by the Atlanta Police Department on Friday night, June 12th, to investigate an officer involved shooting at the Wendy’s Restaurant on University Avenue. We are in the process of conducting this investigation. Although we have made significant progress in the case, we have not completed our work. Our goal in every officer involved shooting case we are requested to review, is to complete a thorough, impartial investigation before we submit the file to the respective District Attorney’s Office.
The GBI was not aware of today’s press conference before it was conducted. We were not consulted on the charges filed by the District Attorney. Despite today’s occurrence, the GBI will complete its mission of completing an impartial and thorough investigation of this incident and we will submit the file, once completed, to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office."
Also, you and your family may want to read this supreme court ruling. You know, the supreme court which actually makes rulings on these sorts of things. The people who actually know the law and dont convict based off of political nonsense.
In the 1994 Supreme Court case Scott v. Henrich, 39 F.3d 912 (9th Cir. 1994) the Plaintiff argued that an officer should have used “alternate measures” prior to deadly force, basically asserting that deadly force wasn’t necessary. The Court stated:
“… as the text of the Fourth Amendment indicates, the appropriate inquiry is whether the officers acted reasonably, not whether they had less intrusive alternatives available to them. Requiring officers to find and choose the least intrusive alternative would require them to exercise superhuman judgment…Imposing such a requirement would inevitably induce tentativeness by officers, and thus deter police from protecting the public and themselves. It would also entangle the courts in endless second-guessing of police decisions made under stress and subject to the exigencies of the moment.”
Oh, and in case you didn't know, this same DA that's charging these officers had charged officers a few weeks prior for tasing protesters. He was quoted as saying "A taser is considered a deadly weapon under Georgia law" as grounds to charge the officers for aggravated assault. How well do you think that's gonna play out for him in court? The defense is going to absolutely shred him over that quote alone.
"Excuse me Mr. DA but did you not say a taser is a deadly weapon under GA law just a few weeks prior to this incident which was the basis for you charging those officers with aggravated assault? Hmm that's interesting, so a taser is only a deadly weapon when it's used against protestors but not when used against police? Deadly weapon today, but not a deadly weapon tomorrow?
You cant make this stuff up
There’s charges already in place......
Seems like a couple steps are being skipped.
Pit Row
Come on Man, after everything that's happened in the last month, he was either too stupid to realize what had just happened and how it looked, or he didn't give a shit and it was exactly the outcome he was looking for.
If you take emotion out of this and look at the case objectively from a D.A./G.J. perspective, this is a slam dunk case. Do I think felony murder will stick? No, but just like any criminal assault case you charge higher and at worst it gets pled down. Being LEO you should know this better than anyone. Although in this case it might stick. Brooks wasn't shot in the side as he was discharging the taser, he wasn't shot in the front as if he was charging the Officers either. He was shot dead nuts in the back as he was running away. At that point he was absolutely no longer a threat that warranted an O.I.S. They knew who he was and where to find him if he got away. They had his fucking car and license, he wasn't getting too far.
And no, you're wrong. You do NOT charge what's higher in a criminal assault case. You charge what's appropriate in a criminal assault case then the DA will plead it down if the victim is okay with it and doesnt want to be put through a trial.
See, everything you keep saying is incorrect. You know literally nothing about any of this yet you keep responding.
By the way, this isn't how this is supposed to work. If the racial makeup of this situation were different there would most likely be a plea deal. This is not a good case for either side, it could possibly be won or lost in jury selection.
I know people are probably ready to type a response "why was your friend doing something stupid?". Sure, we should all be model citizens but it doesn't really matter and I still think you're a hypocrite unless you are ok with being shot and killed if you get pulled over for speeding in your car (since that is also breaking the law).
