NO! Rayshard didn't just runaway....he resisted arrest....he fought the police...he took one of the officers tasers and even attempted to use it on one of the officers...THEN, he runs away...with taser in hand still...how about adding those "beats" to your play by play - it makes adifference.

[@cflores8743]

You're absolutely right. So he deserves the death sentence by the judge jury and executioner aka the police. He had a taser and was running AWAY from them. Where was the threat? No one understands until you become placed in the condescending, humiliating passive aggressive attitude that we the minority IN THE POOR NEIGHBORHOOD get from these "heroes" of the community.

You need to be in a situation to fear for life is in imminent danger... nobody was in danger of getting killed until cops shot. When you say what if he tazed them then took their guns, what if the sky was yellow? The sky's blue so it doesn't matter, it doesn't apply, he's running away with a tazer that had already been deployed

In Germany, and most other civilized countries: Person gets stopped. Person is given breathalyzer test. That's enough. None of this 5 minute staring at a finger, walking a straight line, standing on one leg nonsense. I couldn't even do that when I am sober. If he/she fails the breathalyzer, the drivers license is recorded. Police parks his/her car in a safe spot, and calls him a cab. Done. No 'putting someone in chains' and all that medieval intimidation shit. Two days later he/she gets a ticket in the mail. 1 st time: $600/1 month license suspension, 2nd time: $ 1,200/2 month license suspension, 3rd time: $ 1,800/3 month license suspension. No guns required, no killing needed. Their motto: "The police is your friend and helper'.

A drunk person can kill you just as fast as a sober person. Brooks started the fight, Brooks took the taser from one of the cops and Brooks turned and fired the taser at the cops. I wish this didn't happen and I'm sure Brooks has a family that loves him and misses him but Brooks did everything wrong which ended up with him being shot because of his own actions.

Wow, Trevor, I really appreciate what you're doing. The things you talk about here are things many of us are not always thinking about, if at all. I've always thought of you as a brilliant comedian. Now that you're being serious (as you certainly should be about this), your intelligence in dealing with these matters is off the charts. Thank you so much. You are not only helping the general public in thinking about this, you are also providing great food for thought for those who will be working to reform police departments and coordinate them with other social services. I am a 73 year old white man, so I can't possibly fully understand what these victims and their families feel, but I am trying hard, because I've been extremely frustrated for a long time by the blatant ugly racism that has been so prevalent in the United States during my life time. It must stop. Thank you for using your talents to their highest potential.

[@paramitch]

Beautifully put. And I agree with you on Trevor's eloquence and the importance of his words. The best part is that Trevor can be hilarious, but he has always been serious about big issues, and has been especially smart and thoughtful on the subject of police violence against black men and women. If you haven't seen it, do not miss his two monologues on Philando Castile. They are heartbreaking, eloquent, and absolutely devastating.

@Doomsurfer Because he was DRUNK. As in D.R.U.N.K.! You can't expect dunk people to behave reasonable - that's the definition of "drunk", isn't it? BUT you can expect from sober, trained professionals to come up with better solutions for dealing with drunk people than to shoot them in the back, can't you?

[@EntropysSmile]

Doomsurfer - Idk maybe because he was scared and drunk and had just seen on tv what happened when you try to go with them and they Kneel on your neck and kill you? Or maybe he saw when a innocent women was shot dead in her bed? Or what if he had heard about the 4 lynchings that have taken place in the last week?? Idk maybe that fear drove him a lil nuts. Pain and fear of men in blue with shiny badges who keep killing people like him even when they are handcuffed ?? So why don’t you think for one second what he might have been feeling. Oh that’s right because that would never happen to you because ??!? Yea .. exactly.

As Trevor said Rayshawn was inebriated, completely hammered. So when he resisted and ran, he was not in his right mind because of his intoxication. Im sure you or someone you know has been completely plastered and done some questionable things... So being that the officer was SOBER he should have been equipped to handle that situation far better than he did being that he was a public servant and all..... simply put he didn’t care to work and serve the public that day which is why he’s been indicted on 11 criminal count including murder...

Not to mention the guy that got killed shot a taser at the cops head and had a child abuse charge too. Yea I have no sympathy for someone like that guy. But Trevor or whatever his name is, is just using reverse racism to defend this scum bag.

[@maxfloyd1969]

@Keano Something few people think of is that a taser is potentially deadly. If a person tazes a police officer, they could take the officers gun and kill them (which has happened before). A tazer is a very scary thing for police because of that.

​@Doomsurfer 1. He's tired because he's drunk (that's pretty normal human thing). 2. We will assume Rayshard was scared on top of being drunk (did he need to be handcuffed though? I did see the body cam footage-- the car was moved into a parking spot and he was sitting peacefully with the door open, talking to the cops). 3. He is fighting but it's TWO against one (Ray, drunk, does not "overpower" TWO cops at the same time). 4. I would run when I'm fleeing a situation that feels dangerous (little human reactions called "fight or flight"... some call it survival instinct). 5. I'm going to speculate because the victim can no longer speak for himself... He wanted to die by cop (that last part is sarcastic. People are saying he did this to himself but I say he had "help")

[@s241914]

@@cameronno6039 The opposite of peace is not violence, it's disruption or conflict. Peaceful protesters may not intend to inflict violence but make no mistake, there is plenty of conflict. They are not saying, "with no justice, there will be violence". They are saying, "with no justice, there will be no state of calm". Furthermore, I'm sure you are more than intelligent enough to not believe in a statement as naive as an absolute. Regarding social justice, there have been many instances in history where diplomatic resolutions have been reached sans violence. But even IF your premise was true that justice has never been reached through peaceful means alone, that only means that these particular protesters will be peaceful. Their peaceful protest does not preclude other groups or individuals from partaking in more violent forms of opposition.

Suddenly it's not lethal force if a civilian uses it on a cop? They should just let themselves be electrocuted and take all the consequences of that? Health issues and injury. No longer being able to protect your gun from a suspect that already stole a weapon from you, who if they were aiming and intending to use a taser on you intends to hurt or kill you and would aim your gun at you and shoot you if they had been able to grab it instead. No longer able to help your partner, against the suspect both of you couldnt physically stop, from the the gun the suspect now has access to. No longer able to protect civilians if the suspect gets the gun and flees and uses it in another crime. Oh just shoot a moving target in one of the smallest areas of his body like the leg (cause this is an action movie) and increase chances of missing meaning you or your partner will still be attacked by the suspect using the taser or you may hit a bystander.

Yesterday I was watching this show on Netflix from the UK. It's called "caught on camera" and it was either episode 1 or 2 of season 1 but one particular part of the episode struck a cord in me. So the scene goes that a burglary was taking place, Two adult males broke into a pub through a smashed window on the side of the building the CCTV operator quickly notified the police. Several minutes later a single police officer showed up to the scene. The police officer quickly went to smashed window only armed with a pepper spray he managed to spray one of the suspects, chase him down across the street and put him into custody all in one swoop. When the other guy crawled out the officer managed to hurry back across the street to apprehend him fortunately this time he didn't have to spray the other suspect and managed to cuff him peacefully. Of course with the cop dealing with his accomplice suspect #1 tried to get up and run away, but the officer was not having it and dragged suspect #2 with him and manage to put both suspects in custody. (It's more exciting if you watch it) What I'm getting at, is that this UK Police officer managed to cuff two SOBER adult male suspects all on his own, armed with only pepper spray. Yet the two American police officers were not able to handle a single drunk male?...it's just...something about this situation just doesn't add up...I'm just terribly sadden that Rayshard is yet another victim of police brutality.

"The use of deadly force to prevent the escape of all felony suspects, whatever the circumstances, is constitutionally unreasonable. It is not better that all felony suspects die than that they escape. Where the suspect poses no immediate threat to the officer and no threat to others, the harm resulting from failing to apprehend him does not justify the use of deadly force to do so." Tennessee v. Garner - This seems like a case where Qualified Immunity just might not help the police at all.

Bob Huddleston technically he was armed with a less than lethal weapon, but he could very well have used said weapon to gain access to a lethal weapon.

[@SetitesTechAdventures]

It is not a 'less than lethal' or 'non-lethal' weapon. Tasers are considered less-letal because they can and still to kill people. A fleeing suspect who has commandeered an officers weapon even if it is less-lethal is a threat to the public. This case seems pretty damn clear to me. The officers were perfectly normal the whole time with no evidence that they were going to hurt him. You are misusing Tennessee v. Garner. That case denies deadly force as a universal policy but allows for it if the person poses a threat of death or serious injury to others. Stealing a taser constitutes a definite thread of injury to others and possibly death. You display the same armchair quarterback logic that has no place in these discussions. You act as if he stood his ground and shot the guy. No, he gave chase attempting to catch him safely. But then Brooks turned and pointed the taser at the officer. It is unwise for any individual to let themselves be incapacitated by a violent man, which is what you are when you resist arrest and wrestle with tow armed individuals. Allowing himself to be stunned would have risked having more weapons stolen and/or being killed. From the comfort of your couch you can pretend you'd be able to make the right split second call but you don't know that.

Obviously Rayshard Brooks was not in the right here, but given the narratives circulating in our society right now and the atmosphere of fear, isn't a panic reaction understandable to some extent? If Brooks had survived his actions should have landed him in jail in that he made a decision to take violent action against another person, regardless of circumstance. That is how our society should handle this situation, not by shooting him in the back and then trying to justify that somehow. The concerns and dangers faced by our police force are definitely being largely ignored by society right now, as well as issues of equality that may or may not be personal to you. That is why the restoration of free and open discourse is of such vital importance. Ignorance thrives in the dark
