Maybe we need special units of the police that only deal with black men - they can be trained in accordance with BLM concerns - we have bomb units

I've actually had conversations with police officers and gun owners about "shooting to disable"

They all gave the same response. Paraphrasing since they all didn't use the exact same words; "If you're shooting at somebody, you aim at body mass"



Sounds very general. Of course that’s the point of a gun. But as police officers....


Do you remember the guy Walter something who was a fat black guy and got out of his car because he hadn’t paid child support and started running.



The cop should’ve got out of the car and started laughing at the fat man trying to get away. But instead, he shoots the man a couple of times in the back and kills him.


A man is walking by the incident and films the whole thing.



Hmmmmm. So let’s not try to act like this incident describes every situation. This was a questionable case but cop shouldn’t do time. Whole point shouldn’t be that we are killing everyone who resists and steals your taser.


Cops were probably embarrassed to let him go in front of all those people in line watching.

Death is important ! one min he's having a conversation with the cops the next they're trying to cuff him and he freaks out, mins later he's dead. There has to be a better way to handle these situations. Of course he didn't help himself by firing a taser at the cop, at that point they have to do something, you just hope or wish it wasn't fatal is all i'm saying.



Absolutely. This is exactly what I am saying as well. It’s a questionable case but I understand it

Paranoid of having to pursuit a black man on foot apparently.

Yeah, I don't want to chase blacks - also not a big fan of getting into a fight with them - getting punched in the face - getting zapped with my taser - worrying about my gun being taken - that just doesnt seem like a lot of fun to me

The poor cops could not have been any nicer to this fucken animal

Worry about your gun being taken? It wasn’t. He’s running away with a taser that he shot...which cops use usually for fucking anything. It doesn’t kill you. He’s running away as he shot it. Just saying. Don’t make a ridiculous claim like that


Here you go....





They use them at their leisure

Yeah, I'm so ridiculous

Fake News said there has to be better solutions - said he should have been allowed to sleep it off or give him a ride home - something like, oh, ur black, yeah don't worry about the DUI because we're just so fucken happy you haven't killed six people this evening

Why would you worry about your gun being taken if the guy is running away with your taser? That is ridiculous.

Do y’all remember when that one cop had a black kid cuffed on the ground and for some reason he decides to tase the kid already cuffed on the ground, and instead of pulling out his taser he pulled out his gun and killed the cuffed black kid.


Let’s not forget about that one.


Thought that little piece of shit taser was his gun....yeah, right.

They use those tasers for anything. Seen them try to tase arbery over NOTHING and it didn’t even discharge. Racist tyrants. Blue Isis is domestic terrorism

So, what part of this shooting is racially motivated?

If this cop isn’t rehired or is charged criminally - then I’m pretty sure Trump is going to win - Fake News can spin it any way they like but this is not the America 75% of us want

Sounds like they should be retrained on that. Why are they taught to shoot and kill for everyone who resists? He had the guys taser.


Guy shouldn’t have resisted like that. I won’t defend his actions. Obviously this scenario is different or else I’d be making a way bigger deal about it. But, the approach and how to handle it so it doesn’t end in a death is important. Wasn’t really a bad guy would you say? He was asleep in a drive thru at a Wendy’s. Sounds pretty harmless and to end up killing him is questionable.
You obviously did not watch the video...he was “passed out” in the drive thru with the car still in drive...

He was drunk and should have taken responsibility for his actions like a big boy...he bitched out...

So let me ask you this...so the guy drives home and runs into you and your paralyzed...should he walk for it? I mean he was just drunk driving no big deal.

Did you send Trump a Bday card today?...You better because he will be your president again this time next year as well...police will still be armed and doing there thing and everyone will be saying “floyd who”...

Take the L on this one mob...you are completely wrong...just embarrassing really how wrong you are about this.

After this shooting I expect that Atlanta will become more like Baltimore has since Freddy Gray died. Police have been told to back off or made the decision on their own to more slowly respond. Homicides and violent crimes spiked. These areas aren't worth the trouble of policing and are a poor use of resources.

Yes that is what is happening in big cities across the USA, cops cannot enforce the law, not worth risking their careers, not worth dealing with aggressive sometimes-paid agitators and the harrassment (or worse) to them and their families.

Agree, another thing I think you see happen is that the smarter/intelligent cops probably steer clear of the city (even tho the pay is usually better) and just try to get into suburbs/exurbs/rural. So the cops that the cities get will be the dumb meathead enlisted military types that probably shouldn't be cops and it'll just be shitty policing in those areas when they have to take calls. But they will likely just roll past when someone is looking nefarious.

The cops who will continue working in the worst cities will be criminals themselves. The major cities will continue sliding into worse conditions. What I think middle americans need to do is quit worrying about what happens in the major cities. Saving them likely is impossible, and even if possible it's a poor use of resources.

I just want some city to defund the police department, just so we can laugh at the assholes calling for this idiocy when it blows up in their faces

C'mon people, don't quit yet, you're on a roll
