Meanwhile, in Atlanta...

Bodycam footage. Looks like a nothing conversation between cop and Brooks until they decide to cuff him at about 5:10.

A man fighting cops, stealing their taser, running away and turning and pointing the taser at the cops...gee, what do you think would happen if YOU did that, black or white or any color?

There's a (much) longer video as well:
Link to videoThe conversation between cop and Brooks goes on for more than 25 minutes before the shooting.

She’s demanding the cops put themselves in impossibly dangerous positions. Lots of mattering black lives will be lost from the police pullback she is demanding.

This is a good point. I don’t care who you are, it’s an existential threat to get rid of the police and they have to hate their careers right now.

Why do you ask? Was 89th's description inaccurate to your viewing of the video?

Seeing the video provides context to the individual who died. He’s a typical DUI trying to bargain in his way out, low tension, and makes a fateful decision to try and run and even worse to shoot the taser to aid in his escape. The killing him in return is uncomfortable to watch, not sure what I may have done as a cop with my adrenaline pump doing it’s thing.

I can't find it right now, but last night I read an article saying that a court ruled that the police are justified in using deadly force if the (alleged) perp is threatening with a taser.

But - but - but we have video!

This deadly tyranny against people who punch cops and steal their tasers must end.
Probably much worse outcomes with white people but just shut up about that.

I don't know about much worse, but similar. Certainly, to the extent a cop wanted to shoot someone and keep their job, they would prefer to shoot a white person these days.

Death by stupidity. The guy would be alive this morning, had he acted as he should have.
But...The black community -for the most part - has absolutely no respect for authority, particularly cops. Children see their parents turn a blind eye to criminal behavior and even lie to cops, because it's US against THEM.
This guy died because of his own stupid actions and those actions were programmed as a child...

If we want a police force who can be expected not to do that sort of thing, we need an unarmed police force.
I'm pretty sure that every sane human being I've ever met would consider it a life-risking activity, to punch a cop and steal his taser and point it at him. I will be interested to see progressive opinion over this incident.

The left has taught them that. Every single high status white progressive who wants to teach every black person born in this country that white cops want to murder them, is participating in large scale psychological torture of the black community.

First he made a fateful decision to struggle and go for the cop’s weapon.

for values of "struggle" equal to "punch in the face".
