Let's hope the Atlanta DA puts to rest the attempts here to justify the killing of Rayshard Brooks

28. Thank you for outlining some of it. I didn't watch the conference or knew that there even was one.

Apparently that's unthinkable to some people on this board. Immediate reaction to what you wrote having looked up and skimmed only one article (since I'm already under fire for being less than informed about the new stuff):

- I don't see why it's a problem that they shot him in the back in this case. He had a weapon and had pointed or fired it at them.
- "I got him" isn't an odd thing to say after firing a gun at someone I suppose. Never been in that situation but by itself that doesn't sound odd to me.
- I'm seeing conflicting reports that the officer did end up administering CPR to the guy.
- I don't know anything about codes so if that exists I'm sure it'll come up again

All the stuff that happened after he was shot doesn't excuse what came before it to me. Don't steal police equipment and point it at them. That's like a basic of existence. I still don't think they went out there to murder someone.

I'll have to watch the press conference and review the evidence if I can find it. Supposedly there's more video from the Wendys.
