Atlanta cops should have:
1) Knocked on the window and asked the man to please drive away (though drunk)
2) Asked for the man to get out of his car, told him he would not be arrested and asked him to call a buddy for a ride
3) Arrested the man - using force such as kicking in the groin to disable
4) Tried to arrest the man - but using zero force, allowing the inebriated man in the end to walk/run away when they couldn't subdue him with just their hands
5) other
The guy was asleep. Out of it. You wake him up and he’s fucked up. He gets out of the car. He is intoxicated. Park his damn car, put his ass inside, take the keys and license and give him a card with the number to call when he wakes up. Someone will come down determine your capacity and then give you the citation you earned.
The guy was asleep in his car what would a field sobriety prove that you don’t already know? It would mean running the numbers and putting him in the system. Oh shit he don’t have bail and it’s Friday so he’s stuck til Monday anyway. Maybe he has a shift on Sunday? Well, he’s fucked.
What’s he gonna do call a lawyer and tell the lawyer to tell his boss he can’t make it in and oh, could you bail him out?
Guy fell asleep in his car and ends up dead.
Why didn’t he just comply?
George Floyd complied.
