So, the only option is to kill? He is running away, and shot in the back. If a tazer is a deadly weapon why are they using them. Two cops need to kill a man with a tazer? There are people with guns that don't have the same outcome. Police ideology is bullshit. It's a fear based excuses. Learn hand to hand combat skills.
HilariouShaun313 Gifted innocent the black man fought them stole a taser and fired the taser at him he would still be alive and would had have only been charged with a dui if he didn’t act like a complete moron
I honestly am not buying the “complaints” if you watch the footage. It’s literally the most calm encounter until they try to arrest him. The officer was so nice to him. But then again. The media likes to false report everything so.
The officer was nice to him 🤔REALLY..the first officer was cool.the first one that found brooks in the drive through sleep 😴 I think he would’ve of taken brooks home..
E Nice Films why would he drive him home? He already broke the law by driving drunk to begin with. Dude was supposed to be in prison anyway. Cops will drive you home if you call them before driving.
yeah and he was padded down and had no deadly weapons on him he took the officers taser that is non deadly the officer shot him twice in the back are you that dumb or just like to speak out of your ass?
The first officer sensationalized what happened when explaining to his back up. Then they proceeded to have a long ass unnecessary conversation with a man who was clearly drunk. Then two officers got beat up and their taser took. Then they shot him in the back. Also has a history of being a retarded cop. Soooooo yeah
I watched the video & this officer had the patience of a saint. Before you drag this officer through the mud, understand there’s a huge difference between an investigation & a conviction.
That guy would be in jail instead of dead right now. The choice was his to make. He didn't have to turn around to drive drunk, resist arrest, fight officers, or fire that weapon.
Is this news or inciting violence ? Tell that to families that lost their loved ones because drunk drivers . What happens when wife leaves husband drink and drive . Take the keys away.
And your point the man did absolutely nothing wrong it was by the book until the man decided to attack the officers in question and take their taser and try to use it on them
@@chiebonijames-dyer154 - If you were that police officer, what would you have done differently? Ask him to please drop the weapon? Buy him a burger, put your arm around him, kiss him on the cheek and drive him home whiles he snores in your back seat? Or maybe polish his knob with two of your fingers up his ass? I'm serious, have you ever been where the rubber meets the road? What would you have done?
@@dereklea1183 might as well. The murderer that killed the innocent people in a church didn't lose his life after such a horrific killing spree! Yea burger king sounds good
He was also cleared of any wrong doing in these other incidents where he had to use force. In Addition, in the past he has testified against another officer for the District Attorney that suddenly wishes to make an example of him. I’m sick to my stomach over this.
So here's where wordplay comes into the picture, a taser is considered a "less than lethal" weapon, which means if used improperly, it has the potential to kill. Georgia law is weird, in that it considers a taser a type of firearm. Its really just fancy wordplay
A taser can incapacitate someone, making it impossible to defend yourself. That's why deadly force can be used to defend yourself if it is used illegally.
This officer was right and very kind up until the suspect resisted arrest. A big lawsuit coming. Officer gonna get paid. Violent Criminal off the streets.
It's not a race issue. Imagine scenario with stick figures. J.U.S.T.I.F.I.E.D. petty name calling will get us nowhere as a humans. Sticks and stones my friends.
@Sam Smith I agree BLM has been hijacked by the left. Propaganda arm of the elite. I just wish more folks would see that and wake the hell up. All who can't see it are being played.
Man this shouldn't ended that way ..life is precious ..He is gone ..cant you see that ?? Cant you see the pain that his family and his kids will go through??
Yeah... he did ‘nothing’ wrong.... until he decided to backshoot a tipsy napper who wasn’t a threat to him or anyone. Who, having his car and ID, could’ve been leisurely picked up the next day when he sobered up. Who grabbed a taser that the cops himself deployed... and who always have insisted is non-lethal as they liberally blast restrained and cuffed individuals. Give the guy who lost his taser to a tipsy napper and the back shooter both a pair of pink panties and a wand. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
This guy deserved everything the cop gave to him!! Much respect for the officer for taking care of business and doing his job properly!! You dont want to get shot then DON'T fight with cops
Exactly! In the video, he clearly resisted cuffing because he thinks that the Floyd case means that he and every criminal SOB, can get away with murder!
George Floyd complied and was executed as well. The cop failed to subdue Brooks, failed to keep hold of his taser, put himself within the distance that the stolen taser can be used against him and finally executing Brooks because he didn't maintain safe distance. Cop needs jail.
How are they protecting the police officers with body cam if they cause their own actions Did you ever think that officers are getting fired. Because they used deadly force and it's that reason why they got fired. #yourcareerisover
@@sickinthehead7507 It goes both ways. It protects the citizens and the police. If a department doesn't want body cams, then there's a problem. There are security cameras all over stores and businesses. If you don't have anything to hide there not a problem.
Rayshard Brooks, was doing a 7 year prison sentence for CHILD ABUSE. He was was released from prison early because of COVID19. Rayshard, was a bad guy. Why don’t you talk about Rayshard? He was on probation when this happened.
@@rogeranderson4134 yeah look at it..... the same way for the police who have compliant or right up and still wear a badge. Awwww they finally killed someone
If you wanna bring up pasts then why don't you bring up how Brooks was convicted of child cruelty.....no because whatever your past, race, religion, sex doesn't matter. In that moment Brooks was threating the officers by shooting that taser and Officer Rolfe responded properly. Give the man his job back.
Child cruelty doesnot necessarily mean child abuse. I read Brooks arrest record. Seems to me like they arrested him for child cruelty because he was fighting in front of his kids
I watched the entire 40+ minute body camera and mic'd. He was nothing but professional, honest, understanding, patient and even laughed w/ Rayshard a few times. This was a justified shoot, but politicians don't want to say that, so we have yet another uprising due to bad politics, not bad policing
Unapologetically ME don’t resist arrest, don’t fight the police, don’t steal their weapons and try to use it on them. You might be surprised by the outcome!
@@crzy4muzic611 I never said that. The guy resisted arrest, fought w/ the police, took a weapon off the police, ran from the police then turned and shot that weapon at the police. That's why he is dead instead of at home... Plain and simple.. They had no idea about his past. Your comment makes you sound just about as drunk as Rayshard sounded in the video
Seriously, you don’t use deadly force against a weapon that is not also capable of deadly force. Who cares if he runs off-he isn’t driving so you can not use the “he was going to drive drunk” excuse. Raynard was running away from the cop-there was no reason to shot him. Raynard would not have turned around and pointed the taser at you if you had not been chasing him. You deserve whatever punishment is coming your way ex-Officer whatever you’re last name is.....
Funny no one talking about the fact he was out on parole for beating his children so badly he got 7 years in prison in Fulton county. Again 7 years!! Do you know how badly that would have had to been to get that long in jail?! He admitted to being drunk, tried to lie and say he wasn’t from Atlanta, fought the cops, took the cops taser, ran, tried to shoot the cop with his own taser. He is the one who is in the wrong. All bc he knew he was going back to jail to finish serving jail time he shouldn’t have ever been released early for. You people are ignorant as hell to be out there supporting him and trying to make a martyr out of a child abuser. Smh
You are a idiot and a donkey. What his past has to do with him losing his life. So if this same man was to witness a crime against you, we shouldn't believe him because of his past. Your type is the worst. Who are you to judge? Who without sin let them cast the first stone according to the Bible. Also one of the TEN COMMANDMENTS says thou shall not kill. But you still want get it.
That's what I've been saying. All of these things add up to the criminal mentality. Brooks set this in motion the minute he got behind the wheel of a car drunk. 1st mistake! And his choices didn't get better. Choose an action, choose the consequence.
No Madame you drug his past into it and we all have a past that many aren't proud of was my point. Most call themselves a Christian but like to judge people. King David in the Bible sent his best friend out to war to get killed so he could have his wife. Moses who GOD gave the Tenth Commandments to killed a man. So we shouldn't take the commandments seriously because Moses killed a man. As far as his action of getting kill by the cop I agree with you a 100% . Most people seems to forget what happen in this situation didn't have anything to do with his past. You may not understand what I'm saying but you will for sure if your past was judge on the present.
We know it's not the first time. They could have sent this guy home. He wasn't a danger to anyone. That cop deserves to be fired because he has poor judgement and doesn't care about anyone's life! And if a taser is a deadly weapon then they don't need to be using that either. That guy was so nice and cooperative. No matter what he did that officer was determined to arrest him. That was totally unnecessary in this case and it's a shame he died over something that was easily resolved by him getting an uber or having a family member pick him up; even the cops could have dropped him off. This foolishness has to stop!
When he was being arrested, he should not have resisted arrest, grabbed anything from the officer and ran. People need to learn...do not resist arrest and do not fight police officers. That could happen to anyone and does if they don't cooperate with the police!!!! DUH COMMON SENSE
Yes the child abuser was not a threat to anyone. Just people who can't defend themselves. The man was a multiple felon who would have done anything to avoid going back to prison. If one of those cops had been alone he would have killed them.
I agree once the racists start then looting starts in the burning shit down and all taking everything away from you that would make everyone sad even if you didn't do anything and you were sitting at home trust me you don't want to mess with black folks you mess with us we will f****** burn every single company and take and still everything to make your life miserable
Tasers being non lethal is bullshit sold right now because of this. Tasers have killed plenty of people. Your heart uses it's own type of electrical rhythm to keep it going at its pace. Cops aim center mass.....it's stopped people's hearts, there's a whole documentary on it.
What sucks is learning all of us are subject to evil . I read statistics that showed doctors , lawyers , police , military , average joes and more , have killed more people than all criminals combined . Like more than actual tattooed murderer gang members . Be aware of your surroundings . This planet never belonged to god . We got stuck here somehow . And it's taking us 1 by one like an invasion . Until it can trap us in one place and finish us all off .
To all the idiots who say they should've driven him home or let him go, on average each year in the U.S. there r over 10,000 deaths related to drunk driving. #soberlivesmatter
Cops don’t make exceptions for whites. The race card is such a cop out. If u drink and drive and the cops find u they will always arrest u. If they drive him home he may say to himself “WOW there’s no consequence” and do it again. Liberals wanted special treatment for this guy when me and my buddies didn’t get it.
By SOP, they do not have the option to drive him home. Either he was under the influence and he shall be arrested and charged, or he is Not under the influence and he shall be released at the scene. He was obviously incapacitated by something, most likely alcohol (can't see his eyes reactions to the HGN testing to verify) and possibly other chemicals. He was severely disoriented. He was not capable of driving a motor vehicle (3000-4000 pound weapon) safely on public roads.
@Pump 17 the democrat mayor judging play politics did not bring up one important fact , the tazer belonged to the other cop not the one that fired pointing a dangerous weapon , get ready for the riot,
Now when has it ever been smart to resist and grab anything from his or her gun belt. You can't expect every officer to react the same. But to get out there and tussle with them you're asking for it to go bad really fast.
blahzone that’s a reasonable statement but he didn’t have to die.... cops were embarrassed and hurt from that ass whooping on camera. Shit went all the way wrong and both parties were wrong but one lost his life. Jail time for stupidity would have been nice but......
@@lwilliams9548 Doesn't matter he was on parole for child abuse. Plus aggravated assault on a police officer. The guy would have served a long sentence. Better not to have tax dollars be spent on him.
Ok just to be clear in the officer's defense, you'll be hard pressed to find ANY officer who has not been investigated multiple times for complaints. That's like making a big deal out of customer service complaints against a call center representative....just part of the job.
@Splendid Mendax - one day you will get robbed, a family member might get rapped. A child molester online is preying on your children. Who do you call? POLICE
Rayshard was involved in several felonies. Put it to you this way if they would of let that drunk guy go and he would of driven and killed people they would of blamed the cops too
People usually don't like being arrested...thats why most complaints are made, and thats why most of the time when they are reviewed the officer is not reprimanded, because the officer did nothing wrong. Edit: Yes, I know at first glance it looks bad when an officer has complaints filed against them (on some occasions it actually is), BUT you have to look at WHY the complaint was made and what actually happened. You can’t just jump to the conclusion that an officer excessively uses force because there is a complaint made against them. PEOPLE DON’T LIKE TO BE ARRESTED and will look for any way to get out of it (like filing a complaint).
puddin cup You took the time to reply, and chose to respond “shut the fuck up” instead of responding with facts or trying to further a respectful conversation. Nice.
not true...filing a complaint does not help you get out of an arrest or trouble.....filing a complaint means you felt they acted inappropriately....if you're an employee and your employee records shows that there are many complaints on you then what does that say about you?......in any profession it means your methods are not called for,,,so why would that rule not apply as an officer.....filing a complaint is not as simple as making a phone call....in many cases you just write a letter (such as a complaint on a walmart employee) but filing on a police officer there's forms to fill out, you have to go in personally etc...it's a bigger process....its not a simple process so people are not just going to want to go through that trouble for any little thing.....it does mean something if there are a bunch of complaints filed on you.
They watch the video camera footage every time a person complains about the police officer. They jusy don't give warning with out anything... this police should of been a babysitter instead of officer
Get so drunk you pass out in your car (after already driving!) Resist arrest and fight two cops. Steal one of their tasers, shoot one of the cops with said taser. "Omg why did you shoot him!?"
Kisha McCormick after it happened he was fired very quickly. I guess it is for political reasons. If he is not fired, the public would turn to the police department and the situation would quickly escalate. It’s pretty much a “save face” fire. Either fire one person, or none of them will have their job a month later
Officer Rolfe should not have been fired and there should not be any charges brought against him. He was defending his life. Brooks (the criminal) resisted arrest, stole police taser, ran, didn't stop when ordered, shot at Rolfe, Rolfe shot back in self-defense. If the criminal had tasered Rolfe, he could then have taken the police officer's gun and killed him. Stop trying to make this racist. It was not. The two policemen had more patience with criminal than anybody in this world could have. Criminal started this, police ended it as they are supposed to. Do you think that police don't think about the criminals that they killed every day of their life? Leave the police alone and let them do their jobs. If the criminal had been white we wouldn't even have known about it. Rolfe was fired to appease the black communityi. Enough is enough.
@Leol You're saying that if somebody pointed a taser at you to shoot you wouldn't shoot back? Wouldn't you feel threatened? These police officers don't think that black lives are expendable.
I felt bad for brooks until I saw the video. he punched a cop and grabbed his taser then fired it directly at him. the media portrays it like he was on his way home from church and stopped to take a nap in his car when these racist cops harassed him for no reason. this shit is crazy.
The officer needs to sue the city for wrongful termination. He literally used a non lethal way to control the situation and Brooks ruined that for himself. You're running off all the good police lmao and you'll be left with what you're fighting against. Good luck to all you low life criminals out there. You think you have something to complain about now lol just wait 😂😂😂
Lol. He lost control of a "suspect". He lost control of his taser. He murdered a man by shooting him in the back. He was involved is 18 other various complaints, including abuse of force. Why would you want someone like this owning a weapon and having that much power over citizens? I think I know why. It starts with r, and ends with acist.
what was he thinking? " i can't go to jail, i don't have money to pay for dui, I got 4 Kids I better run" you think maybe this could have been what was going through his mind. They had no right to take his life.
He was drunk, and drunk people do stupid shit. I think the actual shooting was unjustified, but Brooks definitely escalated the situation, and put his own life, and the lives of the officers, at risk.
@@salaheddinesif2002 he wouldn't die if he comply and he easily went against and threw them down stole his weapon that's asking to get shot or not??? He made his choice
Brooks had been convicted on four counts in Ohio - and faced going back to prison if charged with a DUI. Including cruelty to children. His charges were false imprisonment, battery and felony cruelty to children. If you don't believe me, google it. TRUE
@ SuperCushcush, they’re cops, not his buddies. Their job is to make arrests when crimes are committed, not help the perpetrator avoid legal punishment. Taking him home would only have given him the confidence to drive drunk again. All he had to do was comply with the lawful commands .........
@ SuperCushcush, he fought the police NOT because he was innocent and afraid of being falsely imprisoned. He fought because he was on probation, freshly released from prison early due to COVID-19, and just got busted for drunk driving. He was not going back to prison without a fight. And that fight unfortunately cost him his life.
@ SuperCushcush, I highly doubt this cop, or anyone for that matter, saw this as an act of bravery. It’s tragic that the man died; however, I’m 1000% certain he would still be alive had he not resisted the arrest.
@ SuperCushcush, The intentions of these two officers were clear as day. To ensure the safety of the public by making sure a drunk driver did not get back on the road, and holding him legally accountable for the poor decisions he made that evening. They were nothing but professional and respectful. The man initially showed no aggression, and neither did the cops. There is too much uncertainty as to what the man would have done if the cops had let him go. Maybe he might have stayed sleeping in the parking lot until he sobered up enough to drive. Maybe he might have decided he was well enough to drive, got back on the road and kill an innocent person. Maybe he might have gotten home safely, only to repeat this crime and kill someone next time. We can debate all day long about all the possible outcomes if he was let go. But, there’s no debating that if he had just complied, he would be alive today.
How's the boot taste? I can't support killers, especially cowards, who shoot people in the back. Cop was just scared of the big black man. His bias led to that murder.

He did nothing wrong. He handled himself perfectly. He could not have been more courteous or professional to Brooks. I am in no doubt whatsoever he would have been deeply saddened when he found out Brooks had died. Brooks seemed like a decent guy but no, he was a jerk. Father of the year, drunk as a skunk on his way to pick up his daughter to take her out for her birthday.

what do you think "Almost all 18,000 police departments in the U.S. issue their officers Tasers, or stun guns, as a non-lethal alternative to subdue people they might see as a threat. But in a five-part series, Reuters documented more than 1,000 incidents since 2000 in which their Tasers have killed people. Peter Eisler, who co-reported the series, joins Hari Sreenivasan from Washington." and an untrained person who was drunk and holding it...made it more dangerous...
Now lets say he manages to tazer one officer and officer falls down hits his head and dies or has a hart attack or whatever thst would be a a totally different story... Another scenario, say he is able to get away from both cops or somehow able to tazer both, or tazer one and fight the other one then get away and harm and kill some other innocent person...that would be another whole different story on Why or how the cops let that happened... This is getting ridiculous, regardless of color a person should not resist arrest let alone be felon/ criminals and expect to be treated decently, most people get what they are looking for either bad or good, regardless of race or color you can do of yourself a better person go to school or not, but educate yourself and do good simple as that, don't steal dont comit crime, cooperate when you can and you should be good....
Killing black people is definitely cos jobs now its been proven over and over ...shot 3x in the back as running away with no deadly weapon on him that's called MURDER
The American cops in the movies are better trained and professional than the Real life American Cops. .... What happen to aiming at the legs rather than going for the kill....
Cops are told not to aim for the legs for multiple reasons. Firstly, aiming for the legs of someone who is running is not easy. Do you see how that works? Secondly there is a major artery that runs through the legs that, if not treated right away, can lead to the shooting victim bleeding out. This is what happens when your knowledge of police procedures is entirely based off of movies and tv shows.
Soooo now any cop who uses a weapon against a suspect is now fired AND CRIMINALLY CHARGED🤔🤔🤔 THIS FUCKING NON SENSE IS WHAT CAUSES POLICE TO NOT CHASE THE MAN WHO SIDE SWIPED ME AND TOOK OFF (hit and run) I CHASED THE GUY FOR 20 MINUTES AROUND TOWN WITH POLICE ON THE LINE TELLING ME TO LET HIM GO AND THAT THEY DO NOT CHASE SUSPECTS ANYMORE DUE TO INCREASED RISK 🤬🤬🤬 THEY NEVER FOUND THE GUY AND IT WAS PUT ON MY INSURANCE AS AT FAULT AND THEY THREATENED TO CHARGE ME WITH ATTEMPTED AGGRAVATED ASSAULT FOR CHASING HIM 🤦🤦🤦 ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME AMERICA 🤡🤡🤡
Rayshard turned and fired the taser at the cop. He wasn't trained to use the taser properly...which makes it a deadly weapon. The officer shot in self defense.
Reinstate the officer! He was doing his job, the driver was drunk and was given all opportunities to come out clean but decided to get smart when he was about to be arrested. It was a drunk driver who fell asleep and couldn’t even remember he fell asleep. What about his wife. He called her to ask her what she wanted to eat. Why she didn’t tell him to stop driving and take an Uber or a taxi! Where is the common sense. Ok so the officer was reprimanded and what was he supposed to do! Let him go like nothing happened! The drunk driver was warned the officer will shoot if he doesn’t stop, he didn’t stop! All of a sudden, the police department now investigates? Get real. They are afraid of another protest and shame on them for not support the officer. The officer received training and now the training wasn’t good enough? Get real people. The officer never talked down to the drunk driver! He was polite at all times!
The crime of DUI does not warrant a death sentence. The taser was empty before the officer fired his first bullet (which the officer was aware of at the time). The suspect was 18ft away from the officers (and running away) when the officer fired his first bullet. Both the bullets that hit the suspect were in his back. The suspect had been searched, so at the time of the first shot he was unarmed and fleeing.
"If he is ultimately charged", if they don't the city of Atlanta is going to be eatting some crow and writting a very large check. They pretty much trashed his career and put him and his family in harms way. The idiot police chief needs to be sued personally also.
So that requires lethal force? I was under the impression that lethal force was only to be used if there’s a direct threat to the life of the officer 🤔🤔
@@carissahowell wrong, all cops are taught to one up the purp. If the purp fights tase them, if the purp has a knife use a gun. Same thing counts for the taser. Not only did he take it, he used it. Had he gotten a gun or wasn't a felon he probably would have had his own gun and we'd have dead Cops. Contrary to popular belief, anybody can get killed doing stupid shit around cops. White, black, male or female, at what point are adults responsible for their actions???? Brooks knew he was gonna go back to prison because of a DUI arrest. He knew punching and fighting with cops was also gonna be a parole violation. Remember why he was in prison in the first place. He beat his kids and wife pretty badly. It's all public information if you bother to look.
@Emily Turnage wrong, white girl came in to the picture after the black lady. The white girl wasn't even wearing a mask, black girl was masked up and looking to start shit. $10,000 reward for either of them right now.
If a 7 year vet of the Police force with 2000 hours of so called training cannot keep is taser secure while apprehending an intoxicated citizen, it’s not the citizens fault. Cop could have let him run and arrested him in the morning using is information like always happens when a white person runs from a DUI which happens a lot especially in Georgia. Think for your self.
If the police officer is charged with anything in this case, I think I am buying 500 acres in Montana, building a 20' high wall, buying remote controlled mini-guns, and making popcorn.
@@heshamallam8829 Yeah sleeping in his vehicle in a damn drive through line. You what expect them to just leave him there so the resturant can't operate.
Resist arrest, assault officers, take taser, then fire it at officer and still have a second shot left, and officer shoots you. You did it to yourself and have caused so much grief to everyone involved.
The taser had been fired once at him, the second time at the officer (out of range). At that point it was less dangerous than a water gun. Since the taser has a maximum range of 10 feet and the suspect was fleeing, it was not really that difficult to not be hit. There was no immediate danger for the officers.
Neutron Alchemist buddy. The danger once he went for that waist. What if he grabbed his gun. In every city state. U got for cops waist. Itlll end bad. What if he did grab his gun and shot the cop. I’m sure you’d say oh well another cop dead. Come on man. The officers were pissed cuz he went for waist then shot him and their allowed to do it. This cop will be back on duty
the media is instigating this whole commotion. im telling you fake news is real. what i meant by that is they have the ability to title or manipulate their information to fit their own agendas so they can have more viewers to watch the more they instigate this propaganda the more people will toon in to watch their news
Most Taser models also have ordinary stun-gun electrodes, in case the Taser electrodes miss the target. Which means that they still stood the risk of getting shocked trying to take him down.
YuureiInu If they would had caught up to him their life would have been in danger and risked being shocked by the taser. Plus if he ran out in traffic causing a car to wreck he would have placed someone else’s life in danger. He was already punching at them to get away. Don’t blame the police. When people who commit crimes resets arrest. They do the crime now take your punishment.
I see a good professional being sabotaged. I hope the guy gets good representation and gets an honourable discharge from this crap. Don't let your country fall to scum. You're better than this pettiness.
If you want to shoot and kill people because they punch you in the mouth, then Police work is not for you. If you maintain you will only pull your gun as an absolute last line of defense, then the country needs cops like you.
@@JeffPenaify the suspect was running AWAY from the officer with a non lethal weapon (according to law) not towards them. Therefore they should've let him flee then issued a warrant since they already had his vehicle and information.
@@nonymous590 wrong the moment he ran off with the taser the officers obligation was to apprehend him, a taser is classified as a weapon that can cause bodily harm or injury as the officer chased him he fired one of the charges directly at the officer, actively trying to incapacitate an officer justifies use of service pistol, especially when the taser had already been used up and the suspect has already procured an officers weapon seconds earlier.
You have given examples of investigations and the results of which show no wrongful behavior. Why did you use such a misleading title? Why did you post this propaganda?

My LORD, 12 previous COMPLAINTS AGAINST OFFICER ROLFE and NO DISCIPLINARY ACTION!!! A NATIONAL DATABASE OF ROUGES IS NEEDED TO PREVENT FURTHER DEATHS!!! THESE POLICE SHOULD HAVE THEIR NAMES REPORTED AND DENIED LIFETIME POLICE OR SECURITY JOBS THEREAFTER!!!
You do realize cops have to give a verbal warning before using the Tazer? So to answer your question. The suspect is not complying or resisting arrest even after the verbal warning. I just find it hard to believe that people think they're above the law that they can keep pushing until things go south really fast. Then when they're apprehended they cry about how its unfair. Like if you didnt do anything wrong there is no reason to resist or cause any more trouble. Cops will tell you if you're being detained. Just because you're detained does not mean you're guilty. So just comply and things wont go wrong.
Violent past history. He first beat the hell out of his wife/baby mama and the kids. One of which wasn't his to be beating. Then clearly fights with cop's. I wish I could feel sorry for him as I'm no fan of cops, but he clearly got himself killed in this situation.

The miracle is that everyone is so surprised to see that cop's get them, but we only get the perp's rap sheet if he's still breathing. Media is manipulating you.
LEO's often get investigated multiple times. A lot are unsubstantiated. It's not like pissed off civilian don't make false complaints. If some one makes a valid complaint fine. If some makes a false complaint they should be held accountable.
@@karenlinneman5744 wonderful insight, why doesn't the Dead guy learn his lesson. But the police officer with all that professional training can't subdue someone, gets his taser taken away, and kills an unarmed man who can't really get away cause you've got his car, his identity. Could have been dealt with later
A taser is not lethal. You have mofo testing it on themselves on UA-cam. If your gonna call a taser a weapon, than so is a cell phone, a rock, garbage picker and we are talking about a professional cop. Bro was drunk too. Since he has a record, shouldnt be that hard to find him then. Heard that the cop hit a car that was in the Wendy's line up with a stray bullet. Imagine if the cop killed a bystander or a kid or something who had nothing to do with it all. These cops are way too careless and threatening public safety.
Hyper Rabbit It’s not about the lethality of the taser, it’s the ability to incapacitate someone. Simply put, this whole situation could have been very different if the officer had not shot but the taser shot had been accurate. Then, the suspect could have taken the officers gun, shot both officers, and possibly killed more. The officer shot to avoid this situation, which is obviously highly unlikely, but in the midst of a chase in which the suspect has already struck an officer and taken a weapon, panic can set in. Manslaughter? Yes. Murder? That’s not nearly as clear cut.
If you watch the whole thing, he enjoyed The power he had over Rayshard. He made fun of him several times. Hey, we the people don't get weeks and months before we get charged. You aren't foot soldiers guarding prisoners. You are fellow citizens with a job. You don't deserve to feel more protected from violence from us, than we do from you. Yet you do. You have all the guns and Kevlar. We don't. We aren't The Policed States of America. Where did you get that idea? Where did you get the idea that when you murder someone, you should get weeks before you get charged? Maybe you should walk it back while the air is so charged, instead of keeping on KILLING BLACK MEN while people are protesting brutality! As for a tazer being a deadly weapon, then why the hell is it being used at all?! That means, he used deadly force on Rayshard for resisting arrest in the first place. That means all of the people we've seen get tazed for nothing more than a curfew violation, were being hit with a weapon of deadly force. Argue that. You don't get it both ways. Tazers are cruel and unusual punishment, and officers are using them for convenience or fun, more and more. They should be illegal af.
Actually, he was completely polite and professional. He followed police procedure that has been established as being correct and effective for decades. I recognized the exact same DUI field sobriety tests as I was trained on them well over 20 years ago. Why are we blaming police for Mr Brooks escalating the situation with violence? I tell you what, go to any country around the world, get yourself arrested by the local police, resist arrest, assault the officers, steal a WEAPON from one of them, attempt to flee, and then turn and shoot at them. Go see how that works. By the way, put your affairs in order first because you will only come home in a pine box. This had absolutely nothing to do with race. This was not about the DUI charge. Mr Brooks made this into a violent incident, and he kept making dumb and foolish choices, and he paid for it. No, he didn't deserve to die. Deserving has nothing to do with it. It has to do with consequences. The training the police are given is not tailored toward a million and one different scenarios. It is tailored towards common and most likely scenarios. Anyone with half a brain knows that when you get violent with police, they will respond and exceed you level in order to gain control of the situation. It IS Standard and basic police training, the same around the world. If you assault them they will assault you back and arrest you. Resist and they will use more force to get you to comply and to subdue you. If you commit violent felonies and present yourself as a threat (which Mr Brooks DID DO), then they will treat you as a violent threat. Congratulations, you just won the Darwin Award.
Clayton Whitman if you did that in the uk the police wouldn’t do anything... because the fuckwits in parliament believe that giving police guns is bad...
Na he needs too be held accountable just like that cop in the George Floyd incident poor Decisions like that shouldn't allow for a man too call for self Defense he could have just Detained the Guy instead he ends up Going crazy with his weapon there's no justice in that
@Kelli Barnhouse I know. But if you watch the full body cam ua-cam.com/video/4O2IReqaYqw/v-deo.html (look on the left view in slow motion at 42:00) you can see Brooks deploying the first shot at the officer and then again when he was running away and turned around.
So, by that rational all the police that have been shooting protesters with rubber bullets, pepper spray pellets, and bean bags in the face should also be shot and killed for it. Correct?
The former legal advisor shown here said that in 40 years he had never seen an investigation done so quickly and charges brought on so soon. But 40 years ago we didn't have have so many cell phones with video creating ability to capture these events. So allegations of police brutality took much longer to investigate not because investigators are rushing to judgment now as he suggests, but because now we have the facts instantly available and documented on video. Isn't it interesting how they like to argue that the police only have a fraction of a second to make a sound decision based on the information right in front of them, yet we are wrong when we can determine in a fraction of a second what we saw on a video was a murder? Also it was said that the legal advisor would testify that TaSers were lethal weapons. Now if that'is the case then why are police officers allowed to employ TaSers against members of the general public whom they do not wish to kill knowing that they are lethal weapons? Do we need to add TaSers to the list of banned maneuvers such as chokeholds, or are police unions only claiming that they are lethal when it is convenient for them?
It comes down to two things, training and compliance. Rightly or wrongly cops are taught that the tazer renders you incapacitated it is used to subdue someone by rendering them unable to move. If a tazer is used on a cop the cop will be at risk. The thought being that the cop is arresting while someone using a tazer on a cop is fighting. Cops are taught that every time they are on a call they must not allow any of their tools to be taken and used against them, it is a deadly force situation. The second issue, compliance. Compliance by tazer is an attempt to gain control of someone so they can be handcuffed, generally the person being arrested isn’t allowed to gain control over the cop. I would also add that police are sent out to enforce the law, citizens aren’t. If you kill someone there are no questions about you legally doing your job or not. If you charge a cop based on your viewing a video you aren’t even thinking about the laws that enable him to use force. In Georgia and most states a cop can shoot you if he is aware that you just committed a forceable felony, are escaping and may be a danger to other cops who come into contact with him or a third person. The law is the law, that’s why even with video things have to be investigated. The question isn’t did he kill the man, it’s did he have a legal right to kill him

Meanwhile, in most civilian jobs (real jobs...) you get 3 complaints or writeups and you're gone!; why are we so lenient with leeches like this and any other abusive cop?. It should be 3 strikes and you're out. It's not like they are hard to replace...
Anytime someone resists arrest and grabs an officers weapon, it's not going to end well!
daniel klein anytime a BLACK MAN resists arrest or wakes up black it wont end well
Well, the truth is the suspect should not even do such a thing in the first place.
Lol
So, the only option is to kill? He is running away, and shot in the back. If a tazer is a deadly weapon why are they using them. Two cops need to kill a man with a tazer? There are people with guns that don't have the same outcome. Police ideology is bullshit. It's a fear based excuses. Learn hand to hand combat skills.
Brion Braziel you mean a violent person with a taser. That was running away then turns around to use deadly force on the officers?
Who the hell wants to be a Police Officer? Thank God there still a few who do.
Hell NO..🤷♂️
The worst ones
I’ve heard a bunch are quitting
HilariouShaun313 Gifted innocent the black man fought them stole a taser and fired the taser at him he would still be alive and would had have only been charged with a dui if he didn’t act like a complete moron
Dangerous and cheap jobs..!
I honestly am not buying the “complaints” if you watch the footage. It’s literally the most calm encounter until they try to arrest him. The officer was so nice to him. But then again. The media likes to false report everything so.
i agree that idiot could have admitted his crimes
The officer was nice to him 🤔REALLY..the first officer was cool.the first one that found brooks in the drive through sleep 😴 I think he would’ve of taken brooks home..
E Nice Films why would he drive him home? He already broke the law by driving drunk to begin with. Dude was supposed to be in prison anyway. Cops will drive you home if you call them before driving.
yeah and he was padded down and had no deadly weapons on him he took the officers taser that is non deadly the officer shot him twice in the back are you that dumb or just like to speak out of your ass?
The first officer sensationalized what happened when explaining to his back up. Then they proceeded to have a long ass unnecessary conversation with a man who was clearly drunk. Then two officers got beat up and their taser took. Then they shot him in the back. Also has a history of being a retarded cop. Soooooo yeah
I watched the video & this officer had the patience of a saint. Before you drag this officer through the mud, understand there’s a huge difference between an investigation & a conviction.
That guy would be in jail instead of dead right now.
The choice was his to make.
He didn't have to turn around to drive drunk, resist arrest, fight officers, or fire that weapon.

He did use the taser. You could even argue the officer prevented a likely carjacking.
@@dereklea1183 might as well. The murderer that killed the innocent people in a church didn't lose his life after such a horrific killing spree! Yea burger king sounds good

Doing your homework...so rare lol
Its because hes white..duh
He is good cop. He did right things ………! I’m completely support him…………
If the taser is a deadly weapon why do they use them in non deadly circumstances
So here's where wordplay comes into the picture, a taser is considered a "less than lethal" weapon, which means if used improperly, it has the potential to kill. Georgia law is weird, in that it considers a taser a type of firearm. Its really just fancy wordplay
A taser can incapacitate someone, making it impossible to defend yourself. That's why deadly force can be used to defend yourself if it is used illegally.
It is a shame! The officer handled the situation correctly!
This officer was right and very kind up until the suspect resisted arrest. A big lawsuit coming. Officer gonna get paid. Violent Criminal off the streets.
It's not a race issue. Imagine scenario with stick figures. J.U.S.T.I.F.I.E.D. petty name calling will get us nowhere as a humans. Sticks and stones my friends.

Yeah... he did ‘nothing’ wrong.... until he decided to backshoot a tipsy napper who wasn’t a threat to him or anyone. Who, having his car and ID, could’ve been leisurely picked up the next day when he sobered up. Who grabbed a taser that the cops himself deployed... and who always have insisted is non-lethal as they liberally blast restrained and cuffed individuals. Give the guy who lost his taser to a tipsy napper and the back shooter both a pair of pink panties and a wand. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
@@semaasmarino1938 And had Brooks taken out a family of 4, while he was driving drunk I bet we wouldn't be hearing a thing from you.
This guy deserved everything the cop gave to him!! Much respect for the officer for taking care of business and doing his job properly!! You dont want to get shot then DON'T fight with cops
Exactly! In the video, he clearly resisted cuffing because he thinks that the Floyd case means that he and every criminal SOB, can get away with murder!
George Floyd complied and was executed as well. The cop failed to subdue Brooks, failed to keep hold of his taser, put himself within the distance that the stolen taser can be used against him and finally executing Brooks because he didn't maintain safe distance. Cop needs jail.
The drunk dude was kicking both their asses, without a weapon. Cop shot him, in the back, because he just got owned.
That's why body cameras and dash cam are essential. They protect the officers from false allegations.
Jennifer, YES AMEN I soooo agree
How are they protecting the police officers with body cam if they cause their own actions Did you ever think that officers are getting fired. Because they used deadly force and it's that reason why they got fired.
#yourcareerisover
@@sickinthehead7507 It goes both ways. It protects the citizens and the police. If a department doesn't want body cams, then there's a problem. There are security cameras all over stores and businesses. If you don't have anything to hide there not a problem.
Rayshard Brooks, was doing a 7 year prison sentence for CHILD ABUSE. He was was released from prison early because of COVID19. Rayshard, was a bad guy. Why don’t you talk about Rayshard? He was on probation when this happened.
Sounds like another saint like George Floyd.
Cops are not judges, jurors or executioners.... that's why.
Child abusers in general should be killed
That is a travesty! Now just look at the chain of events because of releasing a violent criminal!
@@rogeranderson4134 yeah look at it..... the same way for the police who have compliant or right up and still wear a badge. Awwww they finally killed someone
If you wanna bring up pasts then why don't you bring up how Brooks was convicted of child cruelty.....no because whatever your past, race, religion, sex doesn't matter. In that moment Brooks was threating the officers by shooting that taser and Officer Rolfe responded properly. Give the man his job back.
Child cruelty doesnot necessarily mean child abuse. I read Brooks arrest record. Seems to me like they arrested him for child cruelty because he was fighting in front of his kids
If either of those cops had been alone, it is not a wild claim to say that Evans would have killed one of them to avoid going back to prison.
Who is Evans?
@@Fuzzybeanerizer Fuck - Brooks!! I can't get Rayshard Evans out of my head
I watched the entire 40+ minute body camera and mic'd. He was nothing but professional, honest, understanding, patient and even laughed w/ Rayshard a few times. This was a justified shoot, but politicians don't want to say that, so we have yet another uprising due to bad politics, not bad policing
There is really something wrong with you if you believe that being killed should be justified by your past...
Unapologetically ME don’t resist arrest, don’t fight the police, don’t steal their weapons and try to use it on them. You might be surprised by the outcome!
@@crzy4muzic611 I never said that. The guy resisted arrest, fought w/ the police, took a weapon off the police, ran from the police then turned and shot that weapon at the police. That's why he is dead instead of at home... Plain and simple.. They had no idea about his past. Your comment makes you sound just about as drunk as Rayshard sounded in the video
We agree. Rayshard thinks that the Floyd case means that you can now get away with everything with police! Surprise!
Seriously, you don’t use deadly force against a weapon that is not also capable of deadly force. Who cares if he runs off-he isn’t driving so you can not use the “he was going to drive drunk” excuse. Raynard was running away from the cop-there was no reason to shot him. Raynard would not have turned around and pointed the taser at you if you had not been chasing him. You deserve whatever punishment is coming your way ex-Officer whatever you’re last name is.....
Be advised anyone can file a complaint against a cop for any reason whatsoever at any time. That doesn't mean the complaint is justified.
That may be true but most cops DONOT have multiple complaints against them. Keep that in mind
While thousands who didn't file a complaint can go completely unnoticed.
@matthew brown a lot of those bullshit liars are cops which is why all this is blowing up.
@Master of Disaster This cops' bullet nearly killed a little girl sitting in the car with her parents
Exactly
Here's a simple solution ( don't break the law) and nobody's going to get hurt!
Funny no one talking about the fact he was out on parole for beating his children so badly he got 7 years in prison in Fulton county. Again 7 years!! Do you know how badly that would have had to been to get that long in jail?! He admitted to being drunk, tried to lie and say he wasn’t from Atlanta, fought the cops, took the cops taser, ran, tried to shoot the cop with his own taser. He is the one who is in the wrong. All bc he knew he was going back to jail to finish serving jail time he shouldn’t have ever been released early for. You people are ignorant as hell to be out there supporting him and trying to make a martyr out of a child abuser. Smh
You are a idiot and a donkey. What his past has to do with him losing his life. So if this same man was to witness a crime against you, we shouldn't believe him because of his past. Your type is the worst. Who are you to judge? Who without sin let them cast the first stone according to the Bible. Also one of the TEN COMMANDMENTS says thou shall not kill. But you still want get it.
That's what I've been saying. All of these things add up to the criminal mentality. Brooks set this in motion the minute he got behind the wheel of a car drunk. 1st mistake! And his choices didn't get better. Choose an action, choose the consequence.
No Madame you drug his past into it and we all have a past that many aren't proud of was my point. Most call themselves a Christian but like to judge people. King David in the Bible sent his best friend out to war to get killed so he could have his wife. Moses who GOD gave the Tenth Commandments to killed a man. So we shouldn't take the commandments seriously because Moses killed a man. As far as his action of getting kill by the cop I agree with you a 100% . Most people seems to forget what happen in this situation didn't have anything to do with his past. You may not understand what I'm saying but you will for sure if your past was judge on the present.
We know it's not the first time. They could have sent this guy home. He wasn't a danger to anyone. That cop deserves to be fired because he has poor judgement and doesn't care about anyone's life! And if a taser is a deadly weapon then they don't need to be using that either. That guy was so nice and cooperative. No matter what he did that officer was determined to arrest him. That was totally unnecessary in this case and it's a shame he died over something that was easily resolved by him getting an uber or having a family member pick him up; even the cops could have dropped him off. This foolishness has to stop!
When he was being arrested, he should not have resisted arrest, grabbed anything from the officer and ran. People need to learn...do not resist arrest and do not fight police officers. That could happen to anyone and does if they don't cooperate with the police!!!! DUH COMMON SENSE
Hes not a threat??? he was driving intoxicated....man you ppl are stupid.
Yes the child abuser was not a threat to anyone. Just people who can't defend themselves. The man was a multiple felon who would have done anything to avoid going back to prison. If one of those cops had been alone he would have killed them.
You are brilliant.
The officer firing is called the George Floyd effect. You know Rayshard Brooks family will be looking for a payday.

Law is the law..
By SOP, they do not have the option to drive him home. Either he was under the influence and he shall be arrested and charged, or he is Not under the influence and he shall be released at the scene. He was obviously incapacitated by something, most likely alcohol (can't see his eyes reactions to the HGN testing to verify) and possibly other chemicals. He was severely disoriented. He was not capable of driving a motor vehicle (3000-4000 pound weapon) safely on public roads.

Agree!
Correct 👍🏾
They didn't shoot him because he was getting away. They shot him because he turned to fire a taser at them.
People usually don't like being arrested...thats why most complaints are made, and thats why most of the time when they are reviewed the officer is not reprimanded, because the officer did nothing wrong.
Edit: Yes, I know at first glance it looks bad when an officer has complaints filed against them (on some occasions it actually is), BUT you have to look at WHY the complaint was made and what actually happened. You can’t just jump to the conclusion that an officer excessively uses force because there is a complaint made against them. PEOPLE DON’T LIKE TO BE ARRESTED and will look for any way to get out of it (like filing a complaint).
Shut the fuck up
puddin cup You took the time to reply, and chose to respond “shut the fuck up” instead of responding with facts or trying to further a respectful conversation. Nice.
not true...filing a complaint does not help you get out of an arrest or trouble.....filing a complaint means you felt they acted inappropriately....if you're an employee and your employee records shows that there are many complaints on you then what does that say about you?......in any profession it means your methods are not called for,,,so why would that rule not apply as an officer.....filing a complaint is not as simple as making a phone call....in many cases you just write a letter (such as a complaint on a walmart employee) but filing on a police officer there's forms to fill out, you have to go in personally etc...it's a bigger process....its not a simple process so people are not just going to want to go through that trouble for any little thing.....it does mean something if there are a bunch of complaints filed on you.

If the criminal had tasered Rolfe, he could then have taken the police officer's gun and killed him. Stop trying to make this racist. It was not. The two policemen had more patience with criminal than anybody in this world could have. Criminal started this, police ended it as they are supposed to. Do you think that police don't think about the criminals that they killed every day of their life? Leave the police alone and let them do their jobs. If the criminal had been white we wouldn't even have known about it. Rolfe was fired to appease the black communityi. Enough is enough.
You are right on ALL.
@Leol You're saying that if somebody pointed a taser at you to shoot you wouldn't shoot back? Wouldn't you feel threatened? These police officers don't think that black lives are expendable.
I love the media distorting everything officers do.
really? I don't like it.
Ben Swine Man let me tell you it is the best feeling when the media blames people for stuff they didn’t even do.
I refuse to watch CNN!!
They never tell the truth...
DID YOU SEE VIDEO PROOF? AND HE WAS ALREADY BEING INVESTIGATED!
I felt bad for brooks until I saw the video. he punched a cop and grabbed his taser then fired it directly at him. the media portrays it like he was on his way home from church and stopped to take a nap in his car when these racist cops harassed him for no reason. this shit is crazy.
The officer needs to sue the city for wrongful termination. He literally used a non lethal way to control the situation and Brooks ruined that for himself. You're running off all the good police lmao and you'll be left with what you're fighting against. Good luck to all you low life criminals out there. You think you have something to complain about now lol just wait 😂😂😂
Lol. He lost control of a "suspect". He lost control of his taser. He murdered a man by shooting him in the back. He was involved is 18 other various complaints, including abuse of force. Why would you want someone like this owning a weapon and having that much power over citizens? I think I know why. It starts with r, and ends with acist.
what was he thinking? " i can't go to jail, i don't have money to pay for dui, I got 4 Kids I better run"
you think maybe this could have been what was going through his mind.
They had no right to take his life.
IF HE WAS THINKING THAT, THEN HE WAS A DUMBASS ❗
THAT KIND OF ACTION ONLY ESCALATES THE SITUATION, AND INCREASES THE FINE.
IN THIS CASE, HIS LIFE.
He was drunk, and drunk people do stupid shit. I think the actual shooting was unjustified, but Brooks definitely escalated the situation, and put his own life, and the lives of the officers, at risk.

THE OFFICERS DID GOOD JOB.👏👏👏..THE OFFICERS SHOULD BE GIVEN RESPECT AND PROMOTION
I agree they did a good job....
But a promotion. .i think not
@ SuperCushcush, they’re cops, not his buddies. Their job is to make arrests when crimes are committed, not help the perpetrator avoid legal punishment. Taking him home would only have given him the confidence to drive drunk again. All he had to do was comply with the lawful commands .........
@ SuperCushcush, he fought the police NOT because he was innocent and afraid of being falsely imprisoned. He fought because he was on probation, freshly released from prison early due to COVID-19, and just got busted for drunk driving. He was not going back to prison without a fight. And that fight unfortunately cost him his life.
@ SuperCushcush, I highly doubt this cop, or anyone for that matter, saw this as an act of bravery. It’s tragic that the man died; however, I’m 1000% certain he would still be alive had he not resisted the arrest.
@ SuperCushcush, The intentions of these two officers were clear as day. To ensure the safety of the public by making sure a drunk driver did not get back on the road, and holding him legally accountable for the poor decisions he made that evening. They were nothing but professional and respectful. The man initially showed no aggression, and neither did the cops. There is too much uncertainty as to what the man would have done if the cops had let him go. Maybe he might have stayed sleeping in the parking lot until he sobered up enough to drive. Maybe he might have decided he was well enough to drive, got back on the road and kill an innocent person. Maybe he might have gotten home safely, only to repeat this crime and kill someone next time. We can debate all day long about all the possible outcomes if he was let go. But, there’s no debating that if he had just complied, he would be alive today.
No shit... Isn't this always the case? ANOTHER repeat offender. Somebody needs to lock up these bloodthirsty THUGS and throw away the key.

Taser a deadly weapon ? Then what the hell do police use it on civilians?
SMOKE AND MIRRORS.....
what do you think "Almost all 18,000 police departments in the U.S. issue their officers Tasers, or stun guns, as a non-lethal alternative to subdue people they might see as a threat. But in a five-part series, Reuters documented more than 1,000 incidents since 2000 in which their Tasers have killed people. Peter Eisler, who co-reported the series, joins Hari Sreenivasan from Washington." and an untrained person who was drunk and holding it...made it more dangerous...
Now lets say he manages to tazer one officer and officer falls down hits his head and dies or has a hart attack or whatever thst would be a a totally different story...
Another scenario, say he is able to get away from both cops or somehow able to tazer both, or tazer one and fight the other one then get away and harm and kill some other innocent person...that would be another whole different story on Why or how the cops let that happened...
This is getting ridiculous, regardless of color a person should not resist arrest let alone be felon/ criminals and expect to be treated decently, most people get what they are looking for either bad or good, regardless of race or color you can do of yourself a better person go to school or not, but educate yourself and do good simple as that, don't steal dont comit crime, cooperate when you can and you should be good....
Fired for doing his job!!!
I know it seems unfair.
Killing black people is definitely cos jobs now its been proven over and over ...shot 3x in the back as running away with no deadly weapon on him that's called MURDER
The American cops in the movies are better trained and professional than the Real life American Cops. ....
What happen to aiming at the legs rather than going for the kill....
Cops are told not to aim for the legs for multiple reasons. Firstly, aiming for the legs of someone who is running is not easy. Do you see how that works? Secondly there is a major artery that runs through the legs that, if not treated right away, can lead to the shooting victim bleeding out. This is what happens when your knowledge of police procedures is entirely based off of movies and tv shows.
Having just watched the whole video the police couldn’t have been more professional. It’s very wrong the officer was blamed, unbelievable.

@@marcosttg yes, dont fucking resist arrest them steal the taser and shoot it at the cop
@James Williams yeah, drunk drivers kill more than cops, if anything by killing this criminal, the cop could have saved an innocent driver on the road
Let’s give each cop a customer satisfaction score! 5 means that suspect is very happy about the incident experience.
Rayshard turned and fired the taser at the cop. He wasn't trained to use the taser properly...which makes it a deadly weapon. The officer shot in self defense.
Reinstate the officer! He was doing his job, the driver was drunk and was given all opportunities to come out clean but decided to get smart when he was about to be arrested. It was a drunk driver who fell asleep and couldn’t even remember he fell asleep. What about his wife. He called her to ask her what she wanted to eat. Why she didn’t tell him to stop driving and take an Uber or a taxi! Where is the common sense. Ok so the officer was reprimanded and what was he supposed to do! Let him go like nothing happened! The drunk driver was warned the officer will shoot if he doesn’t stop, he didn’t stop!
All of a sudden, the police department now investigates? Get real. They are afraid of another protest and shame on them for not support the officer. The officer received training and now the training wasn’t good enough? Get real people. The officer never talked down to the drunk driver! He was polite at all times!
The crime of DUI does not warrant a death sentence. The taser was empty before the officer fired his first bullet (which the officer was aware of at the time). The suspect was 18ft away from the officers (and running away) when the officer fired his first bullet. Both the bullets that hit the suspect were in his back. The suspect had been searched, so at the time of the first shot he was unarmed and fleeing.
"If he is ultimately charged", if they don't the city of Atlanta is going to be eatting some crow and writting a very large check. They pretty much trashed his career and put him and his family in harms way. The idiot police chief needs to be sued personally also.
Police just doing there job..........
Leaving out the fact that the assailant has stolen a taser? Too busy burning down Wendy’s?
So that requires lethal force?
I was under the impression that lethal force was only to be used if there’s a direct threat to the life of the officer 🤔🤔
@@carissahowell wrong, all cops are taught to one up the purp. If the purp fights tase them, if the purp has a knife use a gun. Same thing counts for the taser. Not only did he take it, he used it. Had he gotten a gun or wasn't a felon he probably would have had his own gun and we'd have dead Cops. Contrary to popular belief, anybody can get killed doing stupid shit around cops. White, black, male or female, at what point are adults responsible for their actions???? Brooks knew he was gonna go back to prison because of a DUI arrest. He knew punching and fighting with cops was also gonna be a parole violation. Remember why he was in prison in the first place. He beat his kids and wife pretty badly. It's all public information if you bother to look.
@Emily Turnage wrong, white girl came in to the picture after the black lady. The white girl wasn't even wearing a mask, black girl was masked up and looking to start shit. $10,000 reward for either of them right now.
If a 7 year vet of the Police force with 2000 hours of so called training cannot keep is taser secure while apprehending an intoxicated citizen, it’s not the citizens fault. Cop could have let him run and arrested him in the morning using is information like always happens when a white person runs from a DUI which happens a lot especially in Georgia. Think for your self.
@Emily Turnage Don't expect him to see that , he HASN'T TAKEN OFF HIS WHITE HOOD YET.

💯
The taser had been fired once at him, the second time at the officer (out of range). At that point it was less dangerous than a water gun.
Since the taser has a maximum range of 10 feet and the suspect was fleeing, it was not really that difficult to not be hit. There was no immediate danger for the officers.

Taser isn't a ranged weapon after it was discharged, so why did he shoot him? Clearly wasn't afraid running just behind the guy.
Most Taser models also have ordinary stun-gun electrodes, in case the Taser electrodes miss the target. Which means that they still stood the risk of getting shocked trying to take him down.

If they would had caught up to him their life would have been in danger and risked being shocked by the taser. Plus if he ran out in traffic causing a car to wreck he would have placed someone else’s life in danger. He was already punching at them to get away. Don’t blame the police. When people who commit crimes resets arrest. They do the crime now take your punishment.

If a taser is a deadly weapon why do they keep tasing people especially senior citizens
You do realize cops have to give a verbal warning before using the Tazer? So to answer your question. The suspect is not complying or resisting arrest even after the verbal warning. I just find it hard to believe that people think they're above the law that they can keep pushing until things go south really fast. Then when they're apprehended they cry about how its unfair. Like if you didnt do anything wrong there is no reason to resist or cause any more trouble. Cops will tell you if you're being detained. Just because you're detained does not mean you're guilty. So just comply and things wont go wrong.
It’s considered a deadly weapon in Georgia.
This ain't the first time Mr Brooks was investigated either, now was it?
Nope in and out of prison.
Violent past history. He first beat the hell out of his wife/baby mama and the kids. One of which wasn't his to be beating. Then clearly fights with cop's. I wish I could feel sorry for him as I'm no fan of cops, but he clearly got himself killed in this situation.

Hyper Rabbit “unarmed man”
A taser is not lethal. You have mofo testing it on themselves on UA-cam. If your gonna call a taser a weapon, than so is a cell phone, a rock, garbage picker and we are talking about a professional cop. Bro was drunk too. Since he has a record, shouldnt be that hard to find him then. Heard that the cop hit a car that was in the Wendy's line up with a stray bullet. Imagine if the cop killed a bystander or a kid or something who had nothing to do with it all. These cops are way too careless and threatening public safety.
You didn’t learn much from social media either buddy.
Hyper Rabbit It’s not about the lethality of the taser, it’s the ability to incapacitate someone. Simply put, this whole situation could have been very different if the officer had not shot but the taser shot had been accurate. Then, the suspect could have taken the officers gun, shot both officers, and possibly killed more. The officer shot to avoid this situation, which is obviously highly unlikely, but in the midst of a chase in which the suspect has already struck an officer and taken a weapon, panic can set in. Manslaughter? Yes. Murder? That’s not nearly as clear cut.
If you watch the whole thing, he enjoyed The power he had over Rayshard. He made fun of him several times. Hey, we the people don't get weeks and months before we get charged. You aren't foot soldiers guarding prisoners. You are fellow citizens with a job. You don't deserve to feel more protected from violence from us, than we do from you. Yet you do.
You have all the guns and Kevlar. We don't. We aren't The Policed States of America. Where did you get that idea? Where did you get the idea that when you murder someone, you should get weeks before you get charged? Maybe you should walk it back while the air is so charged, instead of keeping on KILLING BLACK MEN while people are protesting brutality!
As for a tazer being a deadly weapon, then why the hell is it being used at all?! That means, he used deadly force on Rayshard for resisting arrest in the first place. That means all of the people we've seen get tazed for nothing more than a curfew violation, were being hit with a weapon of deadly force.
Argue that. You don't get it both ways.
Tazers are cruel and unusual punishment, and officers are using them for convenience or fun, more and more. They should be illegal af.
Rayshard tased the officer in the face. Please get your facts before you make yourself look like a fucking idiot.
Actually, he was completely polite and professional. He followed police procedure that has been established as being correct and effective for decades. I recognized the exact same DUI field sobriety tests as I was trained on them well over 20 years ago. Why are we blaming police for Mr Brooks escalating the situation with violence? I tell you what, go to any country around the world, get yourself arrested by the local police, resist arrest, assault the officers, steal a WEAPON from one of them, attempt to flee, and then turn and shoot at them. Go see how that works. By the way, put your affairs in order first because you will only come home in a pine box. This had absolutely nothing to do with race. This was not about the DUI charge. Mr Brooks made this into a violent incident, and he kept making dumb and foolish choices, and he paid for it. No, he didn't deserve to die. Deserving has nothing to do with it. It has to do with consequences. The training the police are given is not tailored toward a million and one different scenarios. It is tailored towards common and most likely scenarios. Anyone with half a brain knows that when you get violent with police, they will respond and exceed you level in order to gain control of the situation. It IS Standard and basic police training, the same around the world. If you assault them they will assault you back and arrest you. Resist and they will use more force to get you to comply and to subdue you. If you commit violent felonies and present yourself as a threat (which Mr Brooks DID DO), then they will treat you as a violent threat. Congratulations, you just won the Darwin Award.
Clayton Whitman if you did that in the uk the police wouldn’t do anything... because the fuckwits in parliament believe that giving police guns is bad...

A tazer is not a deadly weapon. Keep that in mind
He shot the officer in the face with a taser. Test it, go and shoot a cop in the face with a taser. You probably will get shot as well
Lama_Drama nah....
Deadly? depends. Weapon? yes. What happens when you charge or point a weapon at a cop? **gun fires in the background**
@Kelli Barnhouse I know. But if you watch the full body cam ua-cam.com/video/4O2IReqaYqw/v-deo.html (look on the left view in slow motion at 42:00) you can see Brooks deploying the first shot at the officer and then again when he was running away and turned around.
So, by that rational all the police that have been shooting protesters with rubber bullets, pepper spray pellets, and bean bags in the face should also be shot and killed for it. Correct?
The former legal advisor shown here said that in 40 years he had never seen an investigation done so quickly and charges brought on so soon. But 40 years ago we didn't have have so many cell phones with video creating ability to capture these events. So allegations of police brutality took much longer to investigate not because investigators are rushing to judgment now as he suggests, but because now we have the facts instantly available and documented on video. Isn't it interesting how they like to argue that the police only have a fraction of a second to make a sound decision based on the information right in front of them, yet we are wrong when we can determine in a fraction of a second what we saw on a video was a murder?
Also it was said that the legal advisor would testify that TaSers were lethal weapons. Now if that'is the case then why are police officers allowed to employ TaSers against members of the general public whom they do not wish to kill knowing that they are lethal weapons? Do we need to add TaSers to the list of banned maneuvers such as chokeholds, or are police unions only claiming that they are lethal when it is convenient for them?
It comes down to two things, training and compliance. Rightly or wrongly cops are taught that the tazer renders you incapacitated it is used to subdue someone by rendering them unable to move. If a tazer is used on a cop the cop will be at risk. The thought being that the cop is arresting while someone using a tazer on a cop is fighting. Cops are taught that every time they are on a call they must not allow any of their tools to be taken and used against them, it is a deadly force situation.
The second issue, compliance. Compliance by tazer is an attempt to gain control of someone so they can be handcuffed, generally the person being arrested isn’t allowed to gain control over the cop.
I would also add that police are sent out to enforce the law, citizens aren’t. If you kill someone there are no questions about you legally doing your job or not. If you charge a cop based on your viewing a video you aren’t even thinking about the laws that enable him to use force. In Georgia and most states a cop can shoot you if he is aware that you just committed a forceable felony, are escaping and may be a danger to other cops who come into contact with him or a third person. The law is the law, that’s why even with video things have to be investigated. The question isn’t did he kill the man, it’s did he have a legal right to kill him
Exactly, they can use them willy nilly, but the moment someone uses one on them it justifies lethal force.
@M J he shot him as he received incoming fire from taser, taser had 2 charges. If dude don't use the taser it wouldve just been a chase

Jeff Boxing allo.exactly in uk.no more 3/4 shoot power.like a pepper spray.the guy above think right shoot to kill to stolen pepper spray??exactly the same.
Meanwhile, in most civilian jobs (real jobs...) you get 3 complaints or writeups and you're gone!; why are we so lenient with leeches like this and any other abusive cop?. It should be 3 strikes and you're out. It's not like they are hard to replace...
This is why REFORM IS NEEDED. The mock responses to complaints is worthless.
