All I see in the news is Brooks and how he had some birthday party planned the next day. Give me a break. Run that guys track record, and imagine the victims of some of the things he was charged with. That’s his legacy in my opinion, not some skewed media spin on him being a complete innocent black guy. Should he of been shot? I lean towards yes, but this situation is extremely hard to judge in my opinion. It all falls on hows people view a taser in regards to its lethal ability so to speak. I think all of this could be settled as well if there was some sort of device or technique put into place that would immediately stop people from resisting arrest because that is usually when all of these problems start.I think the guy was a threat to the cop considering he pointed a taser at him. And btw all cops (including the ones on scene) have body cameras that NEED to be turned on when a person is a about to be arrested. If they simply let him go when they are trying to put him into handcuffs, this cops will be suspended shortly after for an escaped prisoner with one of thier tasers. They would of never been put on the streets again after a guy stole thier taser. Not saying the route they took is the right one, but there is just so many variables going through a cops head when shot goes from 0 to 100 that quick. It blows my mind though that people are trying to criminalize these cops. Brooks put himself in this situation. It is 100 percent his fault in my opinion, but maybe it’s because I’m pro cop and kinda always lean towards that side. I usually try and live by facts and putting myself in other people shoes but it’s impossible.
