I've seen both videos. I mean, it's kind of all over the news here. Two ways of reading it: one, it looks like he turns around and points something at an officer right before being shot. Two, the object he was pointing was a nonlethal taser that he had just stolen, and in no way warranted the use of deadly force that an unknown item being pointed at a pursuer would. I know what a few key blowhards are going to storm in here saying, but based solely on what I can see in the video, I think the officer was justified in shooting a man who was turning and pointing something his way during a foot pursuit.

The chief resigning is no surprise. It's not exactly a secret down here that she's been at odds with the mayor ever since the first night of protesting in Atlanta. The surprise is that she lasted so long in the first place.
