    The first cop didnt have a problem with it. Then the thug cop Rolfe showed up and things went to hell.

    Well, at least the Slave Patrol thug cops didn't sic a pack of hungry dogs on Brooks to rip him apart so maybe two bullets in the back is more humane.

    A boot from the police parking ticket department is only a call away. That 20 feet could have ended up as a high speed chase which certainly would have endangered the public. Stupid decision on the cops part.

    Your link does nothing to help the cops cases for shooting Brooks in the back while he was fleeing the scene of a crime unless the taser he removed from one of the cops was capable of firing more than once. But tasers are not lethal so shooting one cop would only have more charges on Brooks. But there was a second cop at the scene who would have prevented Brooks from going back to the incompacitated cop to get his gun. This in no way was a clean shoot.

    It is true that on a per capita basis, black Americans do commit the most violent crimes, and, they do receive the most welfare handouts -- again, on a per capita basis. It must be kept in perspective that the blacks in the United States are 14% of the national population.

    Yep and he also signed 2 of the biggest pieces of legislation in American History into law. CRA and VRA.

    One of the biggest Dixie-crats was one of the biggest Republicans of all time, Strom Thurmond who was a racist and segregationist as well.

    What did Pres. Lincoln say of black folks in America?

    If you look up the case law which is a SCOUS decision, you'll see that cops can shoot felons who take off if they have a reasonable belief in which that felon is a danger to the cops or the public. You have a guy who fights with the cops, resists arrest and trys to shoot a cop with a taser in which just last week the DA said is deathly weapon. And I would agree with that, having 50K volts going through can, and has, killed people.

    Apparently cars in Atlanta can only be booted if they are illegally parked and the police have to make a phone call (The "police parking ticket department" does not boot cars) to find a company that will come out and boot the car. There are times when the vehicle cannot be booted due to companies that boot cars are tied up on other calls and the wait times could be hours at a time; not an efficient use of police. In this case they couldn't legally boot the car since the car was not illegally parked.

    First off, voltage doesn't kill, amperage does. When I am given proof the taser guns the cops had could fire more than once then I might consider Brooks getting shot in the back as necessary. If the tasers could only fire once and the cops knew it then it was an illegal use of a deadly weapon that killed Brooks because they would have reasonable belief Brooks was not a threat to them or the public. Brooks was trying to get home.

    Would they just leave the car parked or would they have it towed and put in a police compound?

    Sorry for correcting your assertion that voltage kills.

    From what I understand, the car was in the line for drive thru service and it was blocking it which is why the car was moved. Obviously there were probably many other options they could have used, however keeping in mind the suspect would be arrested, using the one they used worked and wouldn't cost the suspect money out of his pocket. They were trying to be nice to the lad.

    The reason I posted it again here was what, do you reckon Chris? Do you reckon I was testing to see if was just a problem with some other site?

    Oh you thought that it might have only been a problem on polanimal? No - I went to the Youtube video link directly.

    Yep... ol' 'Lyin' Lyndon' Johnson -- surely one of the more blatant, but effective Democrat 'demi-gods' in the history of that party!

    This conniving, manipulating hypocrite (like Lincoln) looked down his nose at negroes -- BUT -- he realized that they represented the potential to heavily influence vote numbers for many years to come! No wonder he pushed so hard for the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and, no wonder that he was the political powerhouse that pushed for all the welfare programs in his "Great Society" handouts. In his brilliant political scheme, the two went hand-in-hand -- make sure that negroes vote in large numbers, and, keep them on Democrat-provided welfare... a virtual 'perpetual-motion' machine!

    The sheer political GENIUS of a Lyndon B. Johnson is revealed not only in its enduring efficacy, but in the certainty that the very mechanism that made his methods so effective insure the eventual collapse of the same 'republic' that spawned him, and this insidious 'reciprocating motion vote-machine' he foisted on the United States.... But, the collapse wouldn't come until many, many years in the future -- so, who cared...?

    And now, after the decades of negligence and stupidity in the 'RINO' Republican Party, AND the ongoing rigor of focused Democrat Party effort -- a huge number of WHITE people are also on the government welfare 'sugar teat', too! Look at the Democrat Party today and what do you see? How many Millennials and Gen Z-er's are Conservatives...? :roll:

    Ben Franklin was right... “When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic.

    [​IMG]."Congratulations, morons! You took the very best country in the world and totally screwed it up...!" :spin:
