"Brooks tried to break free..."

Isn't this how it usually happens?

Why not just give him a ticket and let him walk home? They had his car. They had his personal info. They verified a relative lived up the block where he could crash.

Nah.

You would need to bring this up with the board in charge of policy.  Are you asking that they go against the "book"?

So he shot a fleeing suspect in the back, from 18 feet away", when the suspect had what the police officer knew to be an empty, fully discharged taser. Even if a taser was a lethal weapon it no longer was except in a Chinese Lolipop Man sort of weapon.

Ergo, charges dropped after two years of detailed investigation and a special prosecutor.Everything you posted is your speculation with no evidence or testimony to support whatever point you are trying to make.

Your response to my detailed point by point linking of each comment from my post to the facts you posted is to delete it and pretend it does not exist. Typical.

And is it that hard to learn formatting?

It does not have any bearing on the two year investigation since the facts uncovered do not warrant charges.

Yeah.

I rode with NYPD for 11 months as a contract videographer.

Police have discretion.

Soft on crime LB...

Your current Dem heroes applaud you.

Thanks, Kid!!!!

  BTW, is a taser a lethal weapon?  The police keep telling me it's not.

A 2012 study published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation found that Tasers can cause ventricular arrhythmias, sudden cardiac arrest and even death. In 2014, NAACP State Conference President Scot X. Esdaile and the Connecticut NAACP argued that Tasers cause lethal results.[13] Reuters reported that more than 1,000 people shocked with a Taser by police died through the end of 2018 with 153 of those deaths being attributed to or related to the use of Tasers.[14] At least 500 people died in 2018 in the US after being shocked by police with a Taser.[3][4] Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Paul Howard Jr. said in 2020 that under Georgia law, a taser is considered as a deadly weapon.

An empty, uncnarged taser.

Not necessary to the policeman giving chase, even if he could have known for sure.
His partner had already been knocked down by a taser charge and could have been fatally injured.
Might want to study up on the law in Fulton County.  And the evidence. In this case.

Imagine my delight that Ward just researched and then argued for the lethal danger of tasers. 

The cops should probably shoot any fleeing drunk, given that he might know karate and his hands and feet could be quite  deadly.  Or he could be part of an Argentine college debt conspiracy - a dangerous desperado!  Or debt-sperado!

Education is the great equalizer, giving all Americans 2 free years of college is a great idea, and we need to make a full education available to those who are capable.

I do not understand the people who are opposed to an education for all Americans. They say that an education is not for everyone, and that the poor people should spend the money on tools for the trades instead of spending the money on an education, etc, etc, etc. Now, the rich people are complaining that the poor people get a free education, it is all bullshit, we need to just give a free education to all Americans.

And here in Anaheim, our children are becoming very educated, they are teaching the children how to do coding for computers, then when they reach college age we have Fullerton Community College, Cal State Fullerton, Chapman University and the Dodge film school, and we also have UCI medical school. The OC has a very educated population. We have a lot of Spanish speakers, but the children are becoming very educated.

Biden is right to help the students with debt reduction, and we need to do more to help to better educate the people of the United States, and we need to value an education.

LOL!
I repeat part of the evidence in the case and the status of tasers and the  law in Atlanta.
These are facts, not my opinions

We can make education fun for the children. Right now they have computers, and video games, and they are learning how to do coding, etc, and there is more that the children can do.

The children can learn how to make paper airplanes and they can fly their planes and they can learn the science behind flight. The children can also launch model rockets. For field trips on flight they can go to JPL in Pasadena, and they can go to NASA out at Edwards, etc. The Antelope Valley needs to build a giant space and flight museum. And for me, I went to Florida with the Shuttle program as a kid and I watched them launch rockets at the Cape, we lived in a condominium on the beach and we could watch rockets launch from the beach. That kind of stuff is great for kids.

On the issue of math, Algebra is not fun and especially if you do not have a good teacher. I would start the youth off learning Euclidean Geometry, I had a Professor in community college who was a Magician at the Magic Castle in Hollywood and he taught Euclidean Geometry, it is the fun version of math, on the first day of class we learned then 2+2 does not necessarily equal 4 and 0 only exists because we say it does. He taught us fun stuff, like if we wanted to put a band of steel around the moon we learned how to figure out how much steel we would need. And Euclidean Geometry is like solving problems and then you do QED like a Lawyer wrapping up his case before a jury. My Professor said that all Lawyers should study Euclidean Geometry. So as we present math to the youth, I recommend Euclidean Geometry, and we need to keep it fun. Making a kid do Algebra with a boring teacher is a horrible thing to do to a kid, instead we can introduce the youth to Euclidean Geometry with fun teachers. Professor Thompson was my teacher for Euclidean Geometry and that kind of stuff would be great for the young people.

We can also teach the children how to approach problems from a scientific approach, and other useful stuff.

Those are a few ideas as we work to raise healthier and smarter children.

Pretty sure cops can count to two.
