Yes the guy was running away, but are we saying it is fair game for criminals to attack cops, take a taser, and the cops still can't shoot the criminal? I guess the cops need to just start showing up and opening their car door and say please get in.

It's never the criminal that is the issue, it is always the cop.

I've been trying to keep a calm disposition about the stuff I see on here but, y'know what... [BLEEP] it.

STOP [BLEEP] KILLING PEOPLE. LETHAL FORCE SHOULD ONLY BE USED ON PEOPLE WHO ARE CLEARLY CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE THREAT TO THE LIVES OF OTHERS. THAT IS [BLEEP] BASIC.

Why was lethal force used? The DUI driver who was passed out in a drive thru lane was asleep at the wheel. After he failed the test and the police were arresting him, he started fighting the cops. The cops didn't use any excessive force in arresting the criminal (allowing the criminal to escape). The cops didn't even taser him to stop it. He stole a taser, punched a cop, and they still didn't use excessive force. They chased after him and didn't fire until he turned and fired the taser at the cop. A taser is a deadly weapon when used against a cop because the criminal could stun the cop and then take their weapon. There were also people around and the criminal was a threat to them.

You want to get people to care, stop giving the police reasons to shoot you. When you stop committing crimes, stop carrying drugs, etc, then you can film the police harassing you. That will bring change, listen to cops, peacefully comply and video tape it. Then it will be clear that it is a racism issue, otherwise it is just a criminal issue.


The APD needs to stand down and go on strike. Let South Fulton burn.
