What's this?

This could go either way in court in my opinion. Seems like jury selection


will be extremely important for both sides.

  Beg to differ. Cops shooting DUI suspects in the back is a story anywhere -- southdenverhoo 06/17/2020 4:33PM

  We can't help it! I've seen lawyers lie to a jury in closing arguments -- southdenverhoo 06/17/2020 8:01PM
  That’s sad and funny at the same time. ** -- Cold Hoober Hoo 06/17/2020 8:06PM

  Yes it is. ** -- southdenverhoo 06/17/2020 5:05PM
  Show me the stories. Must be CNN worthy. -- Hokieesith 06/17/2020 5:52PM
  Not when the guy resisted arrest, stole an officer's weapon, pointed weapon -- tripper 06/17/2020 4:35PM
  The “weapon” was a taser which is not considered to be lethal. -- Rumble 06/17/2020 4:54PM
  A taser is deadly force. He was the bad guy shooting at a cop. ** -- ryno hoo 06/17/2020 5:27PM
  Not from 15’. ** -- Rumble 06/17/2020 5:41PM
  The weapon doesn't have to be "lethal." -- tripper 06/17/2020 5:21PM
  Agreed. But they shouldn’t have. ** -- Rumble 06/17/2020 5:23PM
  He strikes officer with the taser and the officer is incapacitated -- jdubforwahoowa 06/17/2020 4:56PM
  But he didn’t, and the Taser was then spent, no longer a threat of any kin ** -- 111Balz 06/17/2020 5:13PM
  Correct on the first part. 2nd part will be explored in court. ** -- jdubforwahoowa 06/17/2020 5:16PM
  Just telling you what the DA said in his press conference ** -- 111Balz 06/17/2020 5:18PM
  He is putting his case forth to the press. Understood. ** -- jdubforwahoowa 06/17/2020 5:18PM
  To the public. Appropriately so ** -- 111Balz 06/17/2020 5:20PM
  The public will not decide this Officer's fate. Not trolling. This is the -- jdubforwahoowa 06/17/2020 5:21PM

  Death Penalty in play ** -- jdubforwahoowa 06/17/2020 8:02PM
  Brooks was shot after turning and running. There were two cops in pursuit. -- Rumble 06/17/2020 5:05PM
  Morally speaking you are 100% correct. -- jdubforwahoowa 06/17/2020 5:08PM
  Something people seem to be ignoring. Sure, they could pick him -- tripper 06/17/2020 5:36PM
  All the cop had to do was stop and stay out of taser range, about 15 ft. -- SixerHoo 06/17/2020 5:11PM
  Fair retort. He will get his day and my theory will either be upheld -- jdubforwahoowa 06/17/2020 5:15PM
  Tell us more about the probation part. I hadn’t heard that. What was his -- Rumble 06/17/2020 5:22PM
  Here is your link. -- jdubforwahoowa 06/17/2020 5:25PM
  I think you are very balanced. I definitely respect your opinion. Thanks -- Rumble 06/17/2020 5:31PM
  The officer will also claim in court that he was foggy from the punch. -- jdubforwahoowa 06/17/2020 5:33PM
  Really? Come on ** -- 111Balz 06/17/2020 8:28PM
  Yes ** -- jdubforwahoowa 06/17/2020 8:42PM
  They were over 18 feet apart when he shot him ** -- 111Balz 06/17/2020 5:14PM
  Right. I think the DA said he was no threat to the officer. -- Hokieesith 06/17/2020 4:36PM
  Gonna be Ferguson again if this Officer is acquitted. -- jdubforwahoowa 06/17/2020 4:46PM
  Yeah. It will be a another round of looting and burning. -- Hokieesith 06/17/2020 4:47PM
  Correct. It wouldn't fit the narrative. -- Hokieesith 06/17/2020 4:29PM
  We have discussed whether priors were involved in this situation. -- jdubforwahoowa 06/17/2020 4:32PM
  You mean the child abusing felon? ** -- ryno hoo 06/17/2020 4:35PM
  I thought I heard he was wanted in another state? ** -- Hokieesith 06/17/2020 4:37PM
  Yeah. He maybe broken some laws. DUI at least. Shoot him dead. ** -- SixerHoo 06/17/2020 5:24PM
  He want shot dead for DUI. Lol. ** -- Hokieesith 06/17/2020 5:47PM
  Correct. Shot dead for embarrassing a cop. ** -- SixerHoo 06/17/2020 7:08PM
  Shot dead for resisting, assaulting and pointing a weapon at a cop. -- Hokieesith 06/17/2020 7:10PM
  Deleted. ** -- Hokieesith 06/17/2020 7:14PM
  No. Are you stupid? I think so. ** -- SixerHoo 06/17/2020 7:13PM
  An article about his priors is linked by me above to Rumble. ** -- jdubforwahoowa 06/17/2020 5:26PM
  Not disputing he had priors. ** -- SixerHoo 06/17/2020 5:28PM
  Good question. ** -- Hokieesith 06/17/2020 4:32PM
  The cop's not convicted yet. We'll see what happens during the trial. -- Blah 06/17/2020 4:24PM
  Not that you’ll ever believe it, but you’re wrong. ** -- SixerHoo 06/17/2020 4:23PM
  I don't believe you. ** -- Hokieesith 06/17/2020 4:24PM
  I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you! ** -- SixerHoo 06/17/2020 4:25PM
  His lawyer said the cops picked up shell casings before checking his pulse ** -- WahooMatt05 06/17/2020 4:20PM
  That's a joke to anyone with logic and reason. ** -- ryno hoo 06/17/2020 4:13PM
  Correct. The officer did what he was taught. -- Hokieesith 06/17/2020 4:16PM
  Can you explain why you think it's a joke? ** -- CAVern 06/17/2020 4:16PM
  Must seem deadly serious to you then. ** -- SixerHoo 06/17/2020 4:16PM
  You wouldn’t know ** -- 111Balz 06/17/2020 4:14PM
  It won't stick. I just read part of the article on CNN. -- Hokieesith 06/17/2020 4:08PM
  “I felt personally threatened and feared for my safety” -- WahooMatt05 06/17/2020 4:14PM
  Wasn't he shot in the back twice? Is that right? ** -- Blah 06/17/2020 4:17PM
  18 ft. apart. ** -- 111Balz 06/17/2020 4:31PM
  I get he was resisting arrest and warranted some force ... -- Blah 06/17/2020 4:35PM
  According to the Atlanta DA cops aren’t even allowed to shoot tasers at -- 111Balz 06/17/2020 5:11PM
