It's not a simple question because taking the taser was the response to a problem, not the cause. femmedem Jun 2020 #26

No. There are countless examples to back that up wellst0nev0ter Jun 2020 #41

You seem to overlook the taser part Renew Deal Jun 2020 #14

You mean the 100,000s of thousands of LEOs that pointed non lethal weapons at peaceful protesters uponit7771 Jun 2020 #20

Then he could have just gone and been booked. treestar Jun 2020 #79

Why would he run?! StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #33

Why would running be punishable by summary execution? Hortensis Jun 2020 #51

Guess will never know. As he was killed without known cause. jmg257 Jun 2020 #56

Holy fuck, dude... SidDithers Jun 2020 #83

You've changed the subject treestar Jun 2020 #54

Oh, I thought you were annoyed by me saying "He should be alive today." WhiskeyGrinder Jun 2020 #46

He Didn't Want To Be Choked To Death While Cuffed DanieRains Jun 2020 #28

I saw a white guy walking down the street kind of fast today StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #57

He wouldn't have been moving quickly otherwise, for sure. WhiskeyGrinder Jun 2020 #61

FUCK NO!! You can see Brooks fired a taser!! If pointing something non lethal was death threatening uponit7771 Jun 2020 #6

Absolutely. LuvNewcastle Jun 2020 #40

Floyd was obviously murdered. LuvNewcastle Jun 2020 #53

Yes, can we not tell the difference treestar Jun 2020 #78

Not fighting with cops when you're black also gets you shot. StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #34

The Atlanta PD disagrees with you. They fired the cop StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #60

I see a guy who had too much to drink wanting to get home to be with his daughter on her birthday. jalan48 Jun 2020 #22

Is the standard to arrest, rather than cite and find a safe ride home? Raven123 Jun 2020 #23

No. Cops can use their descretion. I never got in trouble for getting people home safely. jmg257 Jun 2020 #58

They're's nothing gray about it StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #25

+1, especially when they later ask "why would they run" as if that's a justification for shooting uponit7771 Jun 2020 #31
