This was Not Police Brutality
Thank you. Finally someone who isn’t a sheep.
Thank you!!! The police officer needs justice!!!!✊
No
This was a poor unfortunate cop on a bad night and a stupid person who got shot for being stupid.
@Keraj Abera if you watch the video... He actually fired a tazer at one of the officers shortly after one of the officers tazer him ... The officer had no choice but to shoot him.
We should put you in the same situation.... Ill bet you'd pull that gun out reall quick!!! I'm sure you don't want to die or get injured over something stupid!!!
Just saying!!!
@Keraj Abera so a police report is more accurate than witnesses, a recorded video and body cams???? Come on man!!! SERIOUSLY???
1- he got drunk
2- he drove drunk
3- he resists arrest
4- he steals a stunt gun
And does those actions call for his life as payment?
Awake
Yes.
Awake well when you assault an officer, steal one of their weapons, and then try to use it on them I think that’s pretty justified to use other means of force...
Awake
I would say doing stupid things in general puts you at a risk for losing your life.
And I don’t care if you’re black, white or green with purple polka dots
He also gave the cop a concussion
NO! Rayshard didn't just runaway....he resisted arrest....he fought the police...he took one of the officers tasers and even attempted to use it on one of the officers...THEN, he runs away...with taser in hand still...how about adding those "beats" to your play by play - it makes adifference.
You're absolutely right. So he deserves the death sentence by the judge jury and executioner aka the police. He had a taser and was running AWAY from them. Where was the threat? No one understands until you become placed in the condescending, humiliating passive aggressive attitude that we the minority IN THE POOR NEIGHBORHOOD get from these "heroes" of the community. F@k the police.
czcams.com/video/SJQStSDYyjg/video.html
Amen ! He could have hurt someone
You need to be in a situation to fear for life is in imminent danger... nobody was in danger of getting killed until cops shot. When you say what if he tazed them then took their guns, what if the sky was yellow? The sky's blue so it doesn't matter, it doesn't apply, he's running away with a tazer that had already been deployed
@@miketyson1717 He took the taser and shot one of the officer!!! are you blind?
*This was NOT police brutality. Period. They were nice until HE became violent.*
As Trevor said Rayshawn was inebriated, completely hammered. So when he resisted and ran, he was not in his right mind because of his intoxication. Im sure you or someone you know has been completely plastered and done some questionable things... So being that the officer was SOBER he should have been equipped to handle that situation far better than he did being that he was a public servant and all..... simply put he didn’t care to work and serve the public that day which is why he’s been indicted on 11 criminal count including murder...
Nolandra Valentine yeah no. Yeah people get stupid while drunk, but he knew what he was doing, he was on parole, so he knew he had to get away. Besides, he was dangerous, literally hit the officer then grabbed a taser.
Paul Howard's attempt on trying to make this murder sure backfired, losing election 73% to 27%
Look at the time stamps. no mussle flash not one car in the drive through moved why was the taser glowing
@@nonolove206 someone gets drunk in Atlanta everyday: not everyday someone resists arrest, punches a cop in the face, takes a taser from a cop, then fires a taser at a cop
Did he miss an entire part of the story, like where Brooks shot a taser at the cops? Did he pass that off as “not knowing details”?
Probably
Crazy how this video how 32k comments 72k likes and yet most of the top comments are about how this video is factually incorrect?? Does it sound like bots to y’all or am I tripping?
Of course he missed every important thing! It was intentional.
I hope so🤷♂️
Anyone knows where the officer is right now?
"Forgive me if I get any details wrong" yeah Trevor, you do that once in a while . . . . . Like in this incident
UNBELIEVABLE. But that’s the name of the game these days with media personalities. Let me just stir the pot some more while I outright choose not to educate myself on certain “details”. BIG “details”. Let me cry RACISM when that’s the easiest thing to do now because people are too easily influenced by others “opinions” and lack of critical thinking skills. People are flat out LAZY. They don’t want to educate themselves because it’s too much work for their lazy behinds. Well look at how this laziness is affecting us now. Thank you Trevor for your lazy “contribution” think piece. So informative and effective🙄
Thank you!! It’s good to know that there are still some smart people left in this world. He basically just defended (or at least tried to) these people who burned down the Wendy’s and an innocent 8 year old was shot and killed by one of these people because of this. Not to mention the guy that got killed shot a taser at the cops head and had a child abuse charge too. Yea I have no sympathy for someone like that guy. But Trevor or whatever his name is, is just using reverse racism to defend this scum bag.
@Keano Something few people think of is that a taser is potentially deadly. If a person tazes a police officer, they could take the officers gun and kill them (which has happened before). A tazer is a very scary thing for police because of that.
@Keano The suspect was already a proven threat to everyone else around him. Deadly force was warranted for someone who was intentionally endangering other people.
Max Floyd why would the police officers partner allow that?
There is only 1 person who had 100% power to prevent all this…and that’s Rayshard Brooks.
That sort of thinking is based on being unwilling to consider an alternative where the cops could exercise the context of the situation rather than spend an hour and 30 minutes as judge, jury, and executioner in the parking lot of a Wendy’s.
@@justinTime077 They where cuffing him, when he broke free, attacked the cops, and stole their weapons. Had he not done that, he would have faced a real judge and jury. Instead he choose execution.
A drunk person can kill you just as fast as a sober person. Brooks started the fight, Brooks took the taser from one of the cops and Brooks turned and fired the taser at the cops. I wish this didn't happen and I'm sure Brooks has a family that loves him and misses him but Brooks did everything wrong which ended up with him being shot because of his own actions.
Making excuses doesn't get us anywhere. Humans need to learn about personal responsibility and focus on making good choices
Humans...or black ppl? Because that's not the issue here.
Classic victim blaming.
@Rhianne Moll Indeed, I 100% blame him. He rolled the dice by tackling that officer, rolled them again by taking his taser, rolled them again by shooting the taser at the officer, got shot and killed for it. He is the reason for his own death.
@@jaquavise1147 he was drunk? Rolled the dice by being drunk? Smh
@Brad Sutton Being intoxicated isn’t an excuse to tackle an officer, take his taser, then fire at him blindly. According to the DA a few weeks prior to this incident, a taser is a lethal weapon.
In Germany, and most other civilized countries:
Person gets stopped. Person is given breathalyzer test. That's enough.
None of this 5 minute staring at a finger, walking a straight line, standing
on one leg nonsense. I couldn't even do that when I am sober.
If he/she fails the breathalyzer, the drivers license is recorded.
Police parks his/her car in a safe spot, and calls him a cab. Done.
No 'putting someone in chains' and all that medieval intimidation shit.
Two days later he/she gets a ticket in the mail. 1 st time: $600/1 month license
suspension, 2nd time: $ 1,200/2 month license suspension, 3rd time: $ 1,800/3 month
license suspension. No guns required, no killing needed.
Their motto: "The police is your friend and helper'.
That happens everywhere. And that's the protocol.
USA's problem is their police training.
I was wonder why did police not give him a fined???
Mridul Mishra it’s not police training. It’s a well-oiled machine. They make “performance” and look good to their superiors, they make overtime and “bragging rights” with their butt buddies, they have pension security, makes money for the city and state, then for the privatized prison enslavement. There’s money everywhere. Modern day slavery. It’s disgusting.
Police had to arrest this guy because he was on parole for child abuse.
Germany and the US are very different
Thank for your years of service in law enforcement Trevor!!
I had to stop watching at the, "why were the police armed". This guy needs to be a cop patrolling with no weapon. Have fun with that.
surprise surprise
"unarmed police" (when police are only armed when necessary) is actually a very common practice that other first worlds do
and surprise surprise
their police don't end up killing criminals, suspects, or innocents accidentally or "accidentally"
@@MazaAzi yeah they don't kill, they end up being killed.
@@MazaAzi lol that's cause most civilians don't have guns in Europe. But here civilians have easy access to guns, and criminals are definitely going to have guns, so good luck bringing your European cops here to patrol the streets
And what if he killed someone while driving drunk?? Bet that wouldn’t have made the news.
Mainstream media is so biased it's sickening! 🤮
if the victim was black in this hypothetical accident blm wouldn't stand for them
Edwin Colon actually we would , we are not just for black lives we are for all lives but black lives are in danger! We would defend anyone from the injustice of bad cops that play judge, jury and prosecution. Period. Police killing ANYONE IS INJUSTICE
Shut up that guy don’t have die because drink if was white guy drink while going home shit cops probably said just drive slow but no way hell a black man need to die like that .
Funny how the Left was at the helm of making Drunk Driving a felony. Now they don't like it.
Wow, Trevor, I really appreciate what you're doing. The things you talk about here are things many of us are not always thinking about, if at all. I've always thought of you as a brilliant comedian. Now that you're being serious (as you certainly should be about this), your intelligence in dealing with these matters is off the charts. Thank you so much. You are not only helping the general public in thinking about this, you are also providing great food for thought for those who will be working to reform police departments and coordinate them with other social services. I am a 73 year old white man, so I can't possibly fully understand what these victims and their families feel, but I am trying hard, because I've been extremely frustrated for a long time by the blatant ugly racism that has been so prevalent in the United States during my life time. It must stop. Thank you for using your talents to their highest potential.
Beautifully put. And I agree with you on Trevor's eloquence and the importance of his words.
The best part is that Trevor can be hilarious, but he has always been serious about big issues, and has been especially smart and thoughtful on the subject of police violence against black men and women. If you haven't seen it, do not miss his two monologues on Philando Castile. They are heartbreaking, eloquent, and absolutely devastating.
If we had more people like you and Trevor this world would truly be a better place. Great message!
@@marcellusb5942 We have plenty... Unfortunately, not all are promoted, supported, or heard about by the masses.
@Doomsurfer Because he was DRUNK. As in D.R.U.N.K.! You can't expect dunk people to behave reasonable - that's the definition of "drunk", isn't it? BUT you can expect from sober, trained professionals to come up with better solutions for dealing with drunk people than to shoot them in the back, can't you?
Doomsurfer - Idk maybe because he was scared and drunk and had just seen on tv what happened when you try to go with them and they Kneel on your neck and kill you? Or maybe he saw when a innocent women was shot dead in her bed? Or what if he had heard about the 4 lynchings that have taken place in the last week?? Idk maybe that fear drove him a lil nuts. Pain and fear of men in blue with shiny badges who keep killing people like him even when they are handcuffed ?? So why don’t you think for one second what he might have been feeling. Oh that’s right because that would never happen to you because ??!? Yea .. exactly.
“And I’m missing a few beats of the story because I don’t want to take you through too much. But that’s essential what happens.” 😂😂😂😂
Skipping crucial bits to suit his narrative. Yes, the cop brutality situation is a massive problem in the US but this particular situation doesn't make a case of trigger happy cops. The other cases,yeah the cops should be punished, but in this instance the cop, Imo, hasn't done anything wrong in shooting the guy who was trying to tase him.
Is everything that make the brother did what he did when u no that police going to kill that brother he was afraid for his life police need to stop killing black people if that police was in that Brother shoe he Wood of don the same thing
@@alfredrobinson8151 Fact: 2019 - 49 police officers killed by felonious murder while on duty.
Fact: 2019 - 9 unarmed black men killed by police officers.
@@matt22blaster i don't know where you got the second nber from cause i read it there were over 1000 deaths at the hands of officers in 2019 www.usnews.com/news/articles/2020-06-03/data-show-deaths-from-police-violence-disproportionately-affect-people-of-color
Cos that is what Trevor gets paid for...propaganda.
Finally his true coloures are displaying.
I was wondering how long it will take.
Anyways
Bye
Aaaaannd then they burn the Wendy’s down
Check your facts. The perpetrator was white. And I assume you have evidence that the young man killed in this video actually played a role in the Wendy's incident. I didn't think so.
Average hours of training required for police officers:
Finland 4500
Germany 4000
Australia 3500
England 2250
Canada 2100
US 672
I am shocked (the US training is that long).
I had that many hours training for massage. Ridiculous.
@Otto von Tutti what you are forgetting is that has 0% to do with anything. Was the cop an unaware time traveler arresting him for something he was already convicted for?
@Otto von Tutti None of those things means it's OK to shoot him in the back as he's running away. Police officers aren't authorized to use lethal force to stop a suspect from fleeing. They're supposed to chase him down, stop him using non-lethal force and arrest him. They're not supposed to draw their guns and kill him while he has his back turned to them.
that's explain a lot
I was drunk and fell asleep in my car in Italy and since it was winter and cold, I turned on the car and the heater. The police arrived, checked on, saw that I was wasted, asked me to turn off the car and call someone to pick me up or walk home because I wasn't fit to drive...
He had to have drove to get to the Wendy’s
Pfc Lex AND to be in the drive thru
Where is the accident report? Hit and run? Since we're speculating, why not consider the possibility that he had the alcohol on him before he got to Wendy's. For all we know he could've had it with his meal. And even if he was driving, that's why there are courts and sentences, neither of which would've cost him his life.
Did u fell asleep in the middle of a drive thru?
Yes, thanks for sharing this experience with us!
He had to lose his life because he stole an officers taser and tried to shoot an officer with it. EoS
No the taser wasn’t going to hurt him or kill him he was drunk and could have ran him down and the cop shot 3 times the 3rd bullet almost hits and kills another black man
Jonathan Hill you gay
Yes but an officer cannot use lethal force unless he feels his life if in imminent danger. Dude, they take tazer shots as part of their training. His life was not in danger with the tazer. Tazers are considered non-lethal. The cop either was waiting for an excuse to shoot someone (like some cops are), or he made legitimate mistake. I think he over reacted. He should lose his job for being a stupid cop. But it was not murder.
@@9344music5 1. tasers are less-lethal, not non-lethal 2. If he does get hit by it and is then unable to protect himself who's to say a suspect doesn't then get the officers gun and execute him while he's incapacitated?
@@9344music5 There is a lot of training going into tazers. And he is a fleeing fellon who already demonstrated that he is willing to not only attack officers, but also disarm them and use their weapons against the police. The officer deserves his name to be cleared, he deserves his job back, and he deserves back pay for the pay he missed being unjustly crucified by the people in this country.
He didn't die because he was drunk driving or was sleeping in his car. He died because he attacked the police, graped their teaser and pointed it at them. If the police only can arrest people that want be arrested they all can better quit. Correct me if i'm wrong but the main reason he left South Afrika was that he didn't feel save because the police there didn't do their job...
@Matthew Shepherd that still don't give them the right to shoot him he had a Taser not a gun
DeejThyself Taser is considered deadly weapon in Georgia Law. Dunno what you talkin about. There is a clear cause and effect. Resisting arrest is not a good idea.
DeejThyself but the law says if ur in possession of deadly weapon the police can also use deadly weapon under ga’s law. And a taser is considered a deadly weapon so he had to fire the gun.
@@DeejRolyaT okay imagine he hits the officer and tazes him. You know what happens then? He has access to the officer's pistol. A gun.
They still didn't HAVE TO KILL Him! Im sure they could have aimed at a leg if their true INTENTION WAS to keep him from Running away...2 or 3 bullets in the back was over excessive FORCE makes me Cringe!
Wait. When a soldier shoots someone in the back, he's considered to be a coward. When a fighter attacks someone from behind, he is considered to be a coward. Hell, when you talk badly about someone behind their back, you're cosidered to be a coward.
If you're in law enforcement, you're protecting yourself and have a department, judges, lawyers, legislators, and governors who will back you up.
no, this guy attacked the cops, stole a weapon and fired at them
. Picture prefect use of deadly force by the cops, cop was being extremely reasonable with him until he attacked them and even still
@superstar 👏👏
megin na taser is not a deadly weapon
Xeno Phon taser is not a deadly weapon.
@Xeno Phon you mean a louse tazer?
Indian population: 1.4 billion (1 billion more than US).
Indian police system: Majority of them DOES NOT CARRY GUNS! Only superior officers do who are not first responder.
Number of deaths from police shootout: Less than 5 per year.
If you give a person a hammer, everything becomes nail for him.
So tell me how many in 1.4 billion actually owns a gun ? This is the USA we talking about, Alot of them owns Guns, Hell even their pets own a gun
India is a 3rd world country and does not report even 1% of all the shit that goes on there, the police force is completely corrupt.
The problem in America everyone has a right to own a gun so you can’t have the police walking around with switches
Is the crime rate similar per capita?
@@hondaricer8528 , the United States is most corrupt country in the world.
When Trevor lies his Afro grows! This is crazy. At least the comments are not turned off.
Trevor is asking why police have guns when we have more guns than people in this country
He needs to educate himself on THIS countrys laws and policing before he irresponsibly speaks on things he even admits to “skipping”. How on earth do you have such a massive platform and yet are not even willing to TRY to cover all your bases before you speak to such a huge volume of people that clearly are easily swayed by how he thinks and what he says?!
he died because he thought officers he died because he was a felon on parole from prison drinking and driving you can't drink when you're on parole But not only was he on parole and drinking and drivingbut he was on parole for drankin & drivin already for child endangerment and child abuse he was on parole for beating his family member and his woman what he's calling his wife but if you listen to the video he was just out to dinner with a girlfriend and then all the sudden his wife turns to his baby mama is story keeps changing just because you're being polite in Liein doesn't make it not a lieblack people try the darndest things first they wanted officers to have cameras now black lives matter say white officers need to quit using technology to incriminate black people LMAO are you kidding me you asked for cameras now we give you cameras and now you're saying we're using them against you know you're just mad were proving that we killed you for a reason that we said and it's true and you can't say oh you killed me for no reason I didn't do nothing no the video tells the truth and you don't like that
SanpI know I said that wrong because you're wrong but he died because it's 20/20 and you see what people in the world are you doing so even if you want out on the street this morning and gave me a dirty look you would die just like he died at Wendy's
“...the ‘ifs’ keep changing...”
Brilliant and passionate monologue, sir. Keep on keepin’ on! No justice, no peace.
@Henry Joyce You didn't get point, did you?
I always find the "no justice no peace" statement to be hilarious since everyone continues to say they want peaceful protest. I understand the intent, but its moronic. Further, no justice has ever been achieved through peaceful means alone.
@Doomsurfer 1. He's tired because he's drunk (that's pretty normal human thing). 2. We will assume Rayshard was scared on top of being drunk (did he need to be handcuffed though? I did see the body cam footage-- the car was moved into a parking spot and he was sitting peacefully with the door open, talking to the cops). 3. He is fighting but it's TWO against one (Ray, drunk, does not "overpower" TWO cops at the same time). 4. I would run when I'm fleeing a situation that feels dangerous (little human reactions called "fight or flight"... some call it survival instinct). 5. I'm going to speculate because the victim can no longer speak for himself... He wanted to die by cop (that last part is sarcastic. People are saying he did this to himself but I say he had "help")
@@cameronno6039 The opposite of peace is not violence, it's disruption or conflict. Peaceful protesters may not intend to inflict violence but make no mistake, there is plenty of conflict.
They are not saying, "with no justice, there will be violence". They are saying, "with no justice, there will be no state of calm".
Furthermore, I'm sure you are more than intelligent enough to not believe in a statement as naive as an absolute. Regarding social justice, there have been many instances in history where diplomatic resolutions have been reached sans violence.
But even IF your premise was true that justice has never been reached through peaceful means alone, that only means that these particular protesters will be peaceful. Their peaceful protest does not preclude other groups or individuals from partaking in more violent forms of opposition.
Domestic abusers do the same thing - they tell you it's your own behavior that brought their violence upon you. It's never true, because you can act PERFECTLY and they will still bring the violence.
He was faaaaaaar from perfect.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Interestingly the amount of cops who are also domestic abusers is pretty shocking...
apparently I can't make a post about human psychology here on youtube. Motivated reasoning is a real thing and there are legitimate psychological reasons why men engage in angry and violent behavior. It is not making an excuse for anyone to acknowledge that.
@@jacekboczarski6698 Doesnt matter. Being arrested for DUI is not a crime that would get you a death sentence.
The police were professional and calm. He was driving drunk and blocking the driveway, not just sleeping in his car in the car park, he violently resisted arrest, assaulted the police, stole a police taser and fired at the officer while escaping custody. What's the officers supposed to do? Stand there and say... "...its no problem, drive home... and by the way, maybe kill someone while drunk driving while we get a Burger and fries?" Wake up! Stop defending criminals. If you are arrested, peacefully surrender and nothing will happen to you other than you pay for your crimes.
2:28 “He is running and he shoots off the taser”
I think you forgot the part that it was pointed in the cops face?!
yes so?????? they shot him when he was running away when he had the back turned towards the cops. how can so many people try to defend those cops????? omg the world is going down
u have a USA flag as profile picture, revisit the values that that flag represents...
You forgot that before he was running armed, he got shot by the taser by the 2 cops.
Then when he had the opportunity he stolen the taser (but wait taser can only shoot 2 times).
He shoots the last load and then the police shooted him with the gun.
That is what i understood about the video
andrea bori you do know that if a taser hits you in the face you have a very high chance of dying? Also if he tased the cop got away he was a threat to society, he could have easily stole someone’s car to drive away, he had motive he committed multiple crimes and he was drunk so he would have easily killed someone
andrea bori he also shot the taser at the cops with his back turned. That’s why he missed. The cop pulled his gun out only after getting shot at. Why would I defend Brooks? Keep in mind things went south in 5 secs. The cop already shot his two taser bolts and is chasing him with essentially nothing. Brooks fired 1 taser shot at the cop and now the cop has to defend himself in a split second. There were no other options to consider. Contain the situation or let him run off with a lethal weapon.
My friend was drunk passed out in the middle of the street! They just took him to detox! How could they feel killing this man was the answer?!
@Gear Jammer thank you JesusChrist I'm a black man and can see he had this shit coming.
Gear Jammer I’m just hearing of this story so I’m genuinely asking where did you hear that he assaulted the cops and tried to take their gun?
Mia Rants thank you!👏
Mia Rants go watch the full video before commenting anything
@Gear Jammer I like how you try to justify it with 2\3 things that didn't happen. Not sure lying about the circumstances helps your case here.
I'm so sorry you are still having to talk about this.
Just last week I was in my car (not intoxicated) but exhausted, stressed and apparently incoherent on the New Jersey Turnpike. I'd driven from Vermont on my way to North Carolina. A state police officer helped me get to a hospital, took my dog to his station (not to a shelter) and arranged to tow my car to the station (not impounded). I wasn't arrested or shot.
I'm a white woman and I can't help wondering if I'd have been treated the same had my skin been darker. Of course, everyone should be treated like I was that night no matter the color of their skin. That's just the right thing to do.

Thank you for sharing this
Thanks for sharing this 👌✌️👍
Nah...me and my gf were dropped in a dark part of Fairmont park when our car broke down
@Kimmminem West I've been beaten
But did you fail two sobriety tests and then punch the police officer? Yours and Raushard Brooks situations aren't the same. I guarantee you if Rayshard had just complied with the cops he would have had a night at the station to sleep it off and then they would have released him the next. A loss of life is always terrible but this situation wasn't a one-sided, racially charged situation.
Dui? A law not worth dying for? Tell that to the THOUSANDS who die each year at the hands of drunk drivers.
Innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. He can't be sentenced to die without due process. And besides, Florida Representative Matt Gaetz got a DUI, so under your logic he needs to be sentenced to death; that's not a punishment I support.
So let's just execute ALL drunk drivers on the spot!! Why waste time having a trial.
When they ran his name his record came back.....so no they arent just going to let him walk home after violating parole
Death is definitely not the punishment for violating parole. Don’t be a dumb ass 🤣 these cops are soft as baby shit. This man broke the law and violated parole. Arrest him and send him to prison. That is their job.
@@snorkey2462 youre right, he didn't deserve to die for violating parole. That's why they talked to him, and tried arresting him. but since he was intoxicated and didn't WANT to go to jail he resisted arrest, ran away and fired the cops tazor at him. A tazor is considered a deadly weapon. He could have shot the cop, gone over to him and finished him off. Maybe he should have just let it happen and faced the possiblity of death, but he shot the criminal and now, or at least he was facing the death penalty
Keraj Abera Instead of calling people “dumbass”, I suggest you do some research yourself. You can in fact die from a taser.
In addition, if Mr. Brooks would’ve struck the officer with the taser, the officer could’ve been temporarily immobilized. Mr. Brooks then could’ve obtained the officers handgun and finished him off and had a shootout with the other officer.
Keraj Abera We can not justify this type of behavior with police officers. We need to call right as right and wrong as wrong.
@Keraj Abera People have literally died from being tazed and he fired a tazer at the cops...
What the hell is wrong with you??
Once again, the criminal is relieved of all accountability for his own actions.
nobody said that. but interesting that now every crime or even act of violence is a reason to get shot in the back. nice.
@@njux1871 He shot at the police with a deadly weapon! So yes, that act of violence is more than enough reason to get shot.
@@chrisphillips9498 No, he didn't. It was a taser, which is not deadly (and some accounts say he wasn't even aiming at the officer). His death was unjustified-it was murder.
@@persistentfroglord but did he grab it though?
@@leejunhao7235 But is it deadly though? And even then, is it justified to shoot him when he's about to run away not once, not twice, but thrice?
Please talk about Malcolm Harsch, Robert Fuller, and Dominique Alexander three black men all found dead by hanging in less than 2 weeks. Please do not let their names or stories go unheard.
That's funny
@@thehero8084 How are white liberals the curse when it's white conservatives who are saying the things that Trevor is talking about? I'm a white liberal and I once called emergency services on a black homeless person who looked sickly and was walking in the heat. Turns out he was about 15-30 minutes from dying of dehydration, according to the EMT who showed up and took care of him.

@AlphaQGently 89 What’s funny?
Because he thought that the rules of society didn't apply to him.
yep and then the officer did the same
and he fired a shot into a innocent bystander vehicle

This literally same scenario happened to me years ago at a Taco Bell. A drunk person ahead of me fell asleep in drive thru. I did a couple light 'beeps' then went up to their window. Obsv drunk so I sort of pushed them over and parked their car in the lot and took their phone and called last number. Waited for their friend to come. Still friends with them to this day :) I am a white woman and they are black men a lot younger than me. I don't know why we cannot reach out a little bit even during this crazy time.

@@numberfourtyfour1195 So now you're saying the taser is a lethal weapon? Because how else would you justify the officer shooting to kill?
@@denzelwenzel a taser is a lethal weapon per state law of Georgia. The only thing that makes it less lethal by police is that they are trained to use it.

4:20 My God Trevor! The Wendy's employees called and cops arrive to investigate and find out what's going on. They didn't pull up to Wendy's expecting a man drunk behind the wheel and on probation for the same reason try to resist arrest and take a officers taser. By all accounts the man got himself killed and the cops did there job
3:56 “a law not worth dying for” ..... 🤔. In 2018 approximately 10,511 fatalities due to car accidents caused by drunk drivers. A lot of people are asking why didn’t the officer let him walk home or have someone pick him up. From the video, the first officer requested a certified DUI officer, which is the one that administered the sobriety test. That officer has probably responded to several DUI fatalities and that might be the reason he decide to arrest him vs letting him go.
heard plenty of stories of white boys being let go in some way and getting caught drunk..
C Art you obviously don’t know the law. All you need is to have the keys in your possession while behind the wheel to get a DUI, which is a felony by the way. He wasn’t asleep he was passed the F out drunk. He failed the sobriety test, resisted arrest, assaulted the officer, stole the taser, fled and attempted to use the taser on the officer before being shot.
Where do you see in the video that the officer pushed him into making this decision? While he didn’t deserve to die, he sure had a hand in putting himself in this that position. We live in a world that wants to blame others for the result of our actions. Until minorities which I am by the way take accountability for our actions and stop feeding into the stereotypes we will never see change.
and they told him the breathalizer was voluntary
Theres a lot of "what ifs" in your argument. How do you know he didnt consume all that alcohol in that parking lot? No one said to let Brooks drive that car outta that parking lot, did they?
@@justinpipes85 There are no "what ifs" here whatsoever. Being drunk behind the wheel in a stationary vehicle is already a DUI.
If gun control was ever implemented, the first people that we need to take guns away from are cops. The strange thing is .. he actually asks the police to take him home ... when a person is asking the police to either let him walk home or actually asks them to take him home, why did they try to arrest him?
He was calmly replying to them and being truthful for 30 minutes, he reacted only when they pulled the cuff out with a sudden manner of commandment .. he was probably scared that they were gonna pin him down and knee his neck or shoot him .. maybe that is why he bolted? With all the killings and linchings of non white people ... i wouldn’t be surprised if people bolted because they probably thought they were gonna be chocked or killed by the cops...

This dude said a DUI a crime not dying for
Bro innocent ppl die cuz of drunk drivers
So you kill someone just because some one could die. Dude have you heard of LAW
@Sock Cucka I agree, that cop shouldn't have shot Rayshard in the back three times with a handgun. Oh, did you mean the taser? Interesting definition of "serious harm"
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also police didn’t kill him for being drunk they shot him cause they shot a taser at his face
DUI is not a crime to die for, I will agree with him on that. But Brooks wasn't killed for DUI. Brooks was killed for taking a police officer's weapon and firing it at police. Assault on a Police Officer is a crime to be killed for. Now it's in moderation. Getting killed for simply punching a cop? Nah, that's bad policing. But shooting a weapon, that is only a less-lethal weapon with proper training, at police? You'll get put 6 feet under regardless of your race.
@@persistentfroglord Depending on where the taser hits, it can kill someone. Depending on medical conditions, it can kill someone. The fall induced by the tazer's shock can cause serious trauma to a person, specifically the head or neck, which can kill someone.
Trevor Noah disingenuously says he's "missing a few beats of the story" at 2:16 when in reality what he didn't want to say is Rayshard attempts to tase the cops and that's what gets him shot 3 times.
He then summons the gall to say "but that's essentially what happens." No, Trevor, when you skip an essential part of a story, you can no longer claim essence.
"Why are armed police there in the first place"? In case you dont know, ITS ILLEGAL TO BE DRUNK BEHIND THE WHEEL!!! You go to JAIL. Thats the way its been for a long time..Great play dude...
What is this world coming to?
Just because it's been that way "for a long time" doesn't mean it HAS to be that way.
The fact that you can't make the distinction between someone in a parked car and a drunk driver tells me you were NOT THE VALEDICTORIAN of your high school, if you graduated at all.
Last time I checked, drunk driving is not a felony, is not a capital offense, nor does it warrant the use of deadly force, so what exactly is your argument? And as others have mentioned, he wasn't drunk driving; The car was stationary.
Indeed what is the world coming to when someone shoots an unarmed man in the back and people rush to the defense of the murderer.
Droiduser Userdroid It appears like you weren’t either and should know that you can be charged with a DUI in a stationary parked car. You can even be charged if you are in the driver’s seat sleeping in a parking lot if you are over the legal .08 limit. It escalated once he saw he violated his parole. Please refer to the many national and state Supreme Court cases on this very topic.
This guy need to watch donut operator
"he'd still be alive if he didn't do that"
That's true.... but would a white guy still be alive if they did that?
I know a white guy who was actually driving drunk and punched the cop in the face ..... he's still alive and well. I also know another white guy that beat a sheriff so badly they were in the ICU but the other cops there still managed to arrest the man who was a legitimate threat to their safety. The police in Atlanta didn't need to shoot him in the back. They had plenty of other options to deal with the sleeping drunk guy to get him home safely, but they picked the actions that would most likely lead to a confrontation
Did he take the officer's tazer?

@@jada5410 Maybe cos he attacked cops and took a weapon, not "cos he was drunk"...
@@jada5410 Lets go over everything. He was drinking and driving(Could easily kill people), fell asleep in the wendys drive thru(Showing he could have easily killed someone driving), failed a dui test, resist arrest, assaulted 2 officers(thrown one on his head could kill/paralyzed if landed wrong), stole tazer(In Georgia is classed as a deadly weapon) and shot at the officer with the tazer while escaping, Breaking so many laws this man was a threat to society and a danger to innocent people. I dont and wouldn't risk THIS CRIMINAL who endangered so many peoples lives a chance to hurt other peoples in his escape. He is a POS and the only thing im upset about is the cop had to waste a 2nd bullet
Legal Definition of deadly weapon: an object whose purpose is to cause death or that when used as an instrument of offense is capable of causing death or sometimes serious bodily harm.(THAT LAST PART IS IMPORTANT) NOTE: An unloaded firearm has been generally held to be a deadly weapon. Although usually distinct, the terms deadly weapon and dangerous weapon are sometimes used interchangeably.
@@jada5410 he could've also killed other people for being drunk and drive.. stop making excuses and just think. It's really not that hard to figure this out. Also you start running away from cops in that situation, did he really think he was gonna be able to escape?? Like where was he gonna go?? Come on.

“Maybe he was fighting because he feared for his life” all they told you is you’re under arrest. What were you exactly afraid of? I want to know? I get being afraid of going to jail. I get being afraid of not seeing your kids. I GET IT. But you’re life was never in danger up until you hit the cop as ran with his taser.
He fought back because he had a warrant out for his arrest and didn't want to get caught
Lol i doubt he was afraid of not seeing his kid. If he did, he wouldnt have beat them up.
Oh trust me I don’t think he was afraid of not seeing his kid considering it was revealed that he had child abuse charges too.
He was no either parole or probation and I think the reason he ran which was very stupid. Stupid but ok for a guy on drugs and alcohol. Another BLM loser.
Probably why he skips all viral parts of the video
So let me get this straight.
- man drives completely inebriated while on parol. So inebriated he fell asleep in his car while in a drive through
- cops talks civilly with him(as they should)
- cops proceed to make arrest
- man violently resists arrest
- man takes cop's taser and shoots it at said cop
- man runs away from cops and fires taser at the cops again
- cops shoot man
How are the cops at fault?
So when I was 23 I was driving back from a friend's wedding and yeah I was drunk. I was two blocks from my house when these cops stopped me for so call rolling thru a stop sign which is one of their favorite offenses. I am a black man, part Italian but dark, and I gave them my license and registration and was cool. But one of the cops had an attitude and dragged me from the car, threw me face first on the ground for which I got a broken nose and he cuffed me. My parents sued the PD for damages and they had to pay my medical costs. Yeah I shouldn't been driving drunk which my Dad reminded me over and over but I didn't deserve to be treated like I was. I guess I'm lucky I wasn't shot. RIP Rayshard am sorry it happened to you.
I'm white and I was drunk parked in someone's front yard sleeping. I got a ride home. No bullsht.
You are lucky. Sorry that happened. I was jaywalking and was thrown face down into the ground and arrested like an animal by pigs. Fuck them
This would have never happened to a white drunk driver, Period and anyone who thinks it would is lying.
You put the lives of everyone you saw that night in danger because you wanted to drive home. A great reason for killing. Personally Id like to see every single drunk driver get beaten to a pulp.
@@nosmoking5366 Exactly! White privilege..

I came back to this video a year later to see if the general response in the comments changed. It hasn't. I'm glad most people understand common sense and don't agree with the _comedian_ trying to act like some sort of expert in the law/law enforcement/use of force and share his (blatantly wrong and biased) _opinion._
That was my exact thought when I saw the vid, "Why didn't they just drive him home?" I got driven home once by the police. They gave me a choice, "We can take you down to the station and sober you up, or we can drive you home." "Can you drive me home please?"
Did this happen in a small town or a big city? I can tell you a white guy I know (in suburban Atlanta) got a DUI because he fell asleep at the wheel (in the bar's parking lot) with the keys in the ignition (pre key fob days). So, it was similar to Brooks' case except unlike Brooks, he never drove anywhere. It's not everywhere that cops will give a drunk guy a ride--even if he's white.
It’s illegal. He broke the law. Enough said.
@Leopold No, after he said he could walk home.
whimsicalTxT true but they did talk to him for a full half hour. Plus he had a lot of crime on his record such that involves violence. Yes, this man should not have died but as a human he committed awful crimes and he is not someone who should be idolized just because he was killed and happen to be black. It was an unjust killing but simply due to serious problems within their training departments. It was NOT race motivated.
Police isnt a taxi service. You not being responsible enough shouldnt cost the taxpayer money.

What you should be wondering is why rayshard attacked police stole a taser ran and pointed a weapon at police. Hes dead because of HIS ACTIONS.
I got one more:
_"If you weren't a legal gun owner, complying with a policeman's order to retrieve your identification, you'd still be alive."_
The dude who was shot by police because he was getting his gun from the glove compartment was a tragic case.
That dude should NOT have told the police he had a gun in the car and then reached to get it to give it to police because the police made a mistake when he got scared and shot him.
He should have been just "hello, Officer" and give the license and registration from somewhere else and keep the gun in the glove compartment and he would be still alive.
Always victim blaming to suit your racist narrative
Hiphop Whitey he didn’t have the gun when he was shot, what was the cop’s excuse then?
@@hiphopwhitey8345 It's illegal to not let the cop know that you're legally carrying a weapon in your vehicle. He did not get the gun from his glove compartment, he was getting his paperwork, that he told the officer that he was getting, because he was legally required to show it to the officer.
Hiphop Whitey another if and I know if he did that there would be another if .. am not American but I think you police are scared of black people and Also not well trained to deescalate situation , no psychology or tactical training ..
This story hits different for me. Maybe 3 or 4 months ago my brother who lives in Atlanta was coming in late from a night out. He pulled up to McDonalds and in the line at some point he falls asleep. The police was called and he awoke to his car surrounded by cops some with weapons pulled. They had him do a field sobriety test which he passed. They searched him found no drugs on him and let him go with a be safe sir have a nice day. My brother and I both forgot all about it until this story. My brother is black so it’s proof that this scenario did not have to end the way it did.

Bullshit. The thug failed the sobriety test. Wasnt shot. He was arrested. He resisted arrest then punched and fought with the officers. He then stole their taser and attemted to flee he turns and pointed it at the officer and fired it. They dropped him. We pay taxes for just such a thing. The idiot fought and punched officers and with a stolen weapon was a threat to them and any civilian nearby. No guns came out on him until he made the life threat. The bastard was already drunk driving and was a risk to the community. He made his choice and chose stupidly. Make sure discussion inculdes his entire behavior and the entire video. One less thug drunk driving and assaulting police.
No, it's not. Watch '13th' on Netflix for a quick history. It's about black people being seen as less than.
It isn't an obsession with guns, that part I will disagree with. It is 100% the wrong people being cops. They have narcissistic personalities for the most part and are trigger happy and will draw their weapon in a heart beat to prove they are in charge and you must do what they want or you get shot, especially if you are black. Because those idiots are racist bigots with guns. They need to weed out those during processing for people becoming a cop.

@@arafaamin9677 he does understand it perfectly.He just pushing an agenda
I'm guessing because he didn't obey to officers commands. Then he attacked the officers and got one of their tasers. Then he fired the taser trying to hit the officer which would have put the officer down and Brooks would've been able to get his gun. So his ass got shot. Not to hard to understand what happened in this scenario. It is all on film. All you have to do is watch it all the way from beginning to end.
Yet the officer is being charged with felony murder and could be executed. My take from this is how tragic it is that officers are treated like this. If Brooks had hit the man with the taser, taken the officer's gun (he already grabbed an officer's taser) and killed the officer, it would have been in the news for maybe a day and then totally buried.
Yesterday I was watching this show on Netflix from the UK. It's called "caught on camera" and it was either episode 1 or 2 of season 1 but one particular part of the episode struck a cord in me. So the scene goes that a burglary was taking place, Two adult males broke into a pub through a smashed window on the side of the building the CCTV operator quickly notified the police.
Several minutes later a single police officer showed up to the scene. The police officer quickly went to smashed window only armed with a pepper spray he managed to spray one of the suspects, chase him down across the street and put him into custody all in one swoop. When the other guy crawled out the officer managed to hurry back across the street to apprehend him fortunately this time he didn't have to spray the other suspect and managed to cuff him peacefully. Of course with the cop dealing with his accomplice suspect #1 tried to get up and run away, but the officer was not having it and dragged suspect #2 with him and manage to put both suspects in custody. (It's more exciting if you watch it)
What I'm getting at, is that this UK Police officer managed to cuff two SOBER adult male suspects all on his own, armed with only pepper spray. Yet the two American police officers were not able to handle a single drunk male?...it's just...something about this situation just doesn't add up...I'm just terribly sadden that Rayshard is yet another victim of police brutality.
You fight with the police and point a weapon back at them, you just signed a deathwish

@@LL-hc3zm yes I agree just one fact miss, which is if you do all that being black.
@@LL-hc3zm No you didn't. Non lethal weapon. Stealing a taser isn't a death sentence. Why do you think police have the authority to kill people in non lethal situations. He stole TASER, he RAN.

"He was asking for it." Is the most psychopathic comment I've seen so far

Either yall are trolls or just really dumb... He SUMMARIZED the video bc as he said, "you've probably already seen the video or at least heard of it". Yall complain that pundits/journalists, whom you don't agree with, are telling lies. Now you're saying Noah said he didnt watch the video. But if you and the 24 idiots who liked your comment had actually watched this video in full, you'd see that he never said that. In fact, Trevor summarizes the video almost perfectly..."oh but he forgot to say the man was on parole and thats why he ran, thus justifying his death" Shut up already. This was a human being shot in the back for running away. No weapons, besides a taser with no long range capabilities. And I'm sure he didn't know you could use said taser close range. There was no reason to shoot him. If drunk white men can charge a cop, beat on him, take a taser hit, ram the cop car and still survive the interaction, then there should be absolutely no reason for a cop to kill black men/women posing 0 immediate threats to them. Same goes for mass shooters, who instead of being shot on sight get fed on the way to jail. Just say you don't care that a man was murdered and take your apathetic self elsewhere man.
@SmashStomp Inc what basic facts did he get wrong? Yall keep saying that without pointing to any basic facts he missed. You say that Noah said Brooks was parked sleeping off being drunk? In the beginning of the video, Noah clearly states that Brooks was passed out in the drive thru. Yall should try to actually watch the video before you spout nonsense. Also, shooting someone in the back when you know you're in no clear danger is not justified. Is it legal, yes. Should it be? Hell no.
“Armed police” 😂😂
Hey Trevor.
The cop told him to pull over to a parking spot and take a nap!
But he went to sleep again and the cop had to tell him again!
Maybe you should join the police department and make the change that it so desperately needs!
I have to say that this tragic event really hit a nerve with me. I have an adult son with autism and mental health issues who is a sweet, loving gentle giant. He's that way 99% of the time until he has a meltdown. When he has a panic attack he runs out of the house into the neighborhood punching mailboxes (we don't know why he attacks mailboxes, as he's non verbal). One of these events a Sheriff was called because his caregiver wasn't able to stop him. The Sheriff tried to pull my son from the mailbox, but during his rage he took a swing at the Sheriff. He was restrained, taken home then thrown on his front lawn in the snow. I only live 1 mile away but wasn't called until after the event. The Sheriff was angry and frustrated and told me he would have shot and killed my son had he not known him from previous events. What the hell? Shoot to kill an unarmed man? The Sheriff said they don't know if the man has a knife or a gun so if they are aggressive towards them they are trained to shoot to kill. This policy needs to change! Rayshard didn't deserve to be shot and killed. Take him home for Gods sake.
I realize the Police have a difficult job handling events they are not trained to handle. I agree with defunding, but the Police Union won't have it! If we defund, how do me make sure the money gets to the people and the social services instead of Police and Prisons?
Sher, as a parent and as a common person, I fully agree and understand your point. When police are given unnecessary authority to act with deadly force this will be the result. I can't imagine what u went through when that horrible person told u that he could have shot your autistic son. This is really rotten.
Rayshard was on probation. he had a number of charges to his name. Trevor says that the only reason that he ran was because he was drunk but actually that is completely wrong. In Rayshard's home state if you get arrested well on probation you go back to jail. that's why he ran. also the reason cop had to shoot him is that if Rayshard managed to incapacitate the cop with the taser even for just a few seconds then Rayshard would have access to the gun at his hip. also Trevor wonders out loud about why a man sleeping in a drive tru is something that police need to respond to. even if the customers didn't feel threatened, they were. a car is a 3000 pound 14x6 foot bullet. that's why drunk driving is such a serious crime. car crashes and even more specifically drunk driving has one of highest rates of death in the world. you say that cops need more training but then you say to defund them. pick one. if you defund the cops then they get less training and they shoot more people because they don't have the training to use other options.
Brenden I see u everywhere
@@prometheus6835 blablabla. All completely pointless, making excuses for a murder. The only fact that matters: He RAN AWAY and didn't pose ANY immanent threat to the cop who shot him IN THE BACK. Hard to threaten somebody while turning your BACK and running AWAY. PLEASE send me a video of yourself, proving that is possible!
@@prometheus6835 he also had drugs in that car...he was going back to jail.
In Romania if a cop shoots someone in the back in any circumstance will go to jail for 10-15 years.
Wow that sounds fair, wish it were like that here.
@Darryl Franks It's not self-defense if it's in the back.
that is both interesting and fair,
Even if that person turns to fire a fucking weapon at them!?
Something doesn’t add up. So if I go on a mass shooting spree in Romania and the cops kill me... they go to jail. Wow keep that in Romania.
The like/dislike ratio on this video doesn't go with any of the comments I've read on here. How are there 75K likes and 12K dislikes.
Resisting arrest is the stupidest thing you can do if you value your life
if it would have happened in my country, the netherlands, (you know, amsterdam) the cops would have let him run and picked him up at home the next day.
no way he would have been shot in the back while running away.
That's how it should be handled.
Ik hou van de Nederlands ♥️ en mijn land ougenda
He wasn't shot in the back he was shot when he turned around and try to fire a taser at the police officer. Besides you have a Islam problem in Holland, maybe you shouldn't be pointing fingers

Great shows, content and funny- all I ever wanted!
Fantastic comment.⚘ thank you.
The daily show has never been good since Jon left
Trevor is the best to "replace" Jon Stewart... but man we need voices like Jon's... or do we?
anyway yeah good job Trevor , especially in these recent months.
Trevor 💪👊stay strong

My best friend was hit by a drunk driver right in front of me. The driver was driving his brothers car after wrecking his own car in the ditch outside of his home. Cops gave him a break and sent him inside of his home to sleep it off. 45 minutes later my best friend, a husband to his pregnant wife and a father to a awesome little girl, and a Sargent in the USMC who survived two tours overseas after 911. Hit by a drunk driver right in front of me while we were on our motorcycles at a red light. If only those cops would have done more he could watch his daughter graduate next year or coach his son's little league team.... Rayshard was extremely drunk and in no danger until he showed that he did not care about his life nor the lives of others. And started fighting the cops.
Lol that's weird how he was asleep in a car in a drive-thru but he was not driving
Heres the deliberate edit of the story. He fired the taser at the cop.
So if the cops shoots at you with a tazer. Can you shot them three times in the back.
Free Wifi are u an idiot? Are u saying if the cop arrests you, you can arrest a cop? Cops have every right to carry and use a taser while civilians do not.

@@karimdakkon9894 You mean killing a criminal who was a danger to everyone around him?
What I do not understand about this situation is, even if they are to arrest this man and take him down for resisting, why shooting him for running away, if the police have the car with registration and probably having all documents for investigation in the car? And even if you imply, the car may be stolen (maybe a typical black task in your eyes), is it worth taking someones life for the matter of satisfying the law? In Germany we have the term of „principle of proportionality“.
Second thing is, how stupid could I be to dump gas into fire, by shooting a black guy for a minor breach of the law in these times?
They shoot him because he punches the officers, steals a tazer and attempts to shoot the officers with the tazer. He would have been shot in germany as well. And you think this is a minor breach of the law? He was on probation, arrested for DUI (automatic jail time), resisting arrest, assault on police officer and likely assault with a deadly weapon.
Filip Henriksson AND DRUNK!! That means he is not in is rational state of mind in Germany
maybe it is just a basic instinct for a police to shoot a moving black staff
@@hondaricer8528 So when the police use a taser it's a non-lethal weapon, but when someone else uses a taser on the police it's a deadly weapon?
It wasn't a minor breach of the law dummy he put the officers life in danger and he deserves the right to go home to his family. I guess the police dont care about their lives or the lives of innocent bystanders over across the pond and care more about criminals letting them know all they have to do is fight cops and they can get away or drive drunk with no consequences because they will just let them sleep it off in the drive up window and just put them in jail when it's too late after they killed someone
The comments 😂😂 Trevor is not being objective here.
Nor claiming to be.
He never is. Complete joke.
He makes no sense w his reasoning
Exactly. He made zero points
Reasoning? This guy? Good one
“The whole point of you going there was to prevent people from dying from whatever they’re doing, but if you going there means they’re going to die anyways, then what’s the point?” Damn.
Brooks killed himself. He attacked officers because HE didn't want to own up for his bad and dangerous dui choice. HE attacked and hurt officers. HE stole. HE aimed a weapon at officers and intend to hurt them AGAIN. Georgia classifies tasers as lethal force. A cop was just fired for using a taser 'lethal force' on a civilian. Suddenly it's not lethal force if a civilian uses it on a cop? They should just let themselves be electrocuted and take all the consequences of that? Health issues and injury. No longer being able to protect your gun from a suspect that already stole a weapon from you, who if they were aiming and intending to use a taser on you intends to hurt or kill you and would aim your gun at you and shoot you if they had been able to grab it instead. No longer able to help your partner, against the suspect both of you couldnt physically stop, from the the gun the suspect now has access to. No longer able to protect civilians if the suspect gets the gun and flees and uses it in another crime. Oh just shoot a moving target in one of the smallest areas of his body like the leg (cause this is an action movie) and increase chances of missing meaning you or your partner will still be attacked by the suspect using the taser or you may hit a bystander. You are passed out drunk, be honest, own it, and know you made a mistake and could have harmed or killed someone with your vehicle, and sit in jail for a night vs attack other humans trying to protect innocent citizens and YOU from crashing into a ditch and dying on your way home. STOP RESISTING ARREST.
@@orphanedhanyou I get it, you're against tazers in general, not to be used on ANYONE. Racist pig and apologist, at least you're openly admitting it.
@@orphanedhanyou He was sleeping in his car. The police didn't pull him over because he was drinking and driving. So he wasn't a danger to anyone nor did he pose a threat to anyone. He'd taken himself out from being a danger by just sleeping until he was in a state where he could drive in a competent manner. There would've been no harm in them driving him home and so he could come back in the morning to pick it up.
Anyway, here's a video of a man who'd murdered his mother, sister and nephew and attempted to choke out a man in front of cops as well as attempting to attack a cop all while running around naked
abcnews.go.com/US/video/triple-murder-suspect-arrested-naked-flee-police-65241800
Amazingly enough the cops managed to apprehend him without killing him. Gee, I wonder what the difference is?
He decided to get violent and point a weapon.
@@82Jaster people are so biased and blind to their opinions they dont see the truth
In Sweden, this would have been treated as a wellness check. Once he had agreed and seemed fit to walk home, they would have let him go. If they did not think he was well enough to get home on his own, they would have driven him. Lastly, if he was too intoxicated to find his way home or provide an address, he would have been taken to the police station to sleep it of or taken to the hospital if it was necessary.
He would have probably gotten a bill home for the last alternative, but that would've been it.
I worked at fast food restaurant and have had to call the police for drunk sleeping customers, this should definitely not have gone down the way it did.
@Otto von Tutti And that's why you shoot a man running away with a tazer not once or twice but 3 times
And then tomorrow that same man drives drunk (yet AGAIN) and this time slams his car into a car with someone you love it it, killing them. Drunk drivers deserve to be harshly (but appropriately) punished.
Yes. It happens like that many places.
@Otto von Tutti Your name sound Italy so I am not surprised... Maybe if you have been given a bullet for all the wrong decisions and crimes you have made you will not be alive to write this bs
Same in Denmark, but you wouldn't get a bill
When I was suicidal my friends who I was chatting to online called the police and two officers showed up at my doorstep, one had their taser unholstered the entire time.
@RONIWhile I am White, I live in a predominantly Black section of our neighborhood, 60% of our street is of African-American decent alone.
That’s why you don’t go out in public while being drunk Trevor. It opens you up to many things. I have been arrested 12 times, 4 being intoxicated with alcohol. I stoped drinking 4 years ago and haven’t had any run ins with the law, whatsoever.
Trevor, when you replaced Jon Stewart I was skeptical if you would be able to fill his shoes. In my opinion you have proved yourself And I respect you for your opinion and the way you're bringing it to the public.
Agree, I was skeptical at first as well but he has found his voice and stride. Much respect Trevor!
I'm calling Trevor when my life is in danger. He has an opinion....wait...what?
Same. I wasn't a fan of his stand-up but after a further chance I saw he was born to speak.
He makes a lot of sense from the school of hard knocks.
@Stax 2High
Coz his dad is a jew and knows Jon
How do police respond to a person who is drunk - an EXCELLENT point.
Because he’s in a car.. that he was driving.. and could’ve killed anyone because he was drunk?? You wouldn’t be upset if this guy drove away with his Wendy’s and passed out on the road and killed someone? He shouldn’t have resisted and stole a taser and shot it at an officer. He had something worth losing if he reacted that way. There was no chokehold, no knee on neck, just cuffs while standing, take him to jail for the night, sober up, release him.
Rayshard was a violent criminal and had gotten out on early parole due to covid and would have went back to prison due to drunk driving:

@@ernnndj "couldv'e killed someone"..."IF this guy drove away"
you're arguing things that did not happen to justify something that didn't need to happen.
The officers already prevented him from driving anymore. And he even suggested that he walk home himself. All was needed then, was to take the keys away, and keep an eye on the road to see if that car moved any.
Also...what was needed was to chase his drunk ass down.
If he's as drunkk and disorderly as you say..then you're making an even better point as to why the officers didn't need to shoot and kill him.
that drunk ass man would just fall over himself and be caught within a few more turns. he wouldn't be able to keep his balance.
You're basically saying that the cop was too lazy to catch up witha drunk man who didn't have the capability to even control himself..so they killed him.
The cops killed a man out of laziness is basically your point
@@agonleed3841 - Very well said. I completely agree.
I am disagree with you on this.
Dear Trevor, I stopped donating money to the unfortunate people in South America. I do not want to empower someone who later would call me racist. Since your net worth is $40 million, I hope that you will donate most of the wealth to the unfortunate people.
In the Nederlands we have a separate group of unarmed law enforcement for dealing with these kinds of situations. (Called BOA's look them up)
So you are saying that Drunk drivers are arrested in Netherlands by unarmed law enforcement?
Are you sure about this or have you misunderstood the situation?
Here is Rayshard's prison records:
www.joshwho.net/rayshard-brooks-was-no-martyr-as-well-as-george-floyd/
He got 20+ years in prison for several violent crimes in 2014 so he should have been in prison but was released early on parole probably due to covid and would have lost his parole and gone back to prison due to the drunk driving.
Yes but guns are far less prevalent in most European countries so you can't really compare them.
Ja en dat gaat ze lekker af he... BOA's protesteren nu voor tasers en wapenstokken.
@Science! To quote Trevor:
"He was drunk."
Also, no offense, but two trained police officers should not be able to be subdued by a single drunk person. There's a reason why martial arts training is part of the police curriculum in most countries and a certain degree of physical fitness is required to pass the admittance exams.
Even then, I don't see how someone running away from you is threatening to beat you down.
It's strange how easy painting non-existent narratives seems to be.
@@hiphopwhitey8345 It doesn't matter if he was white he would have most likely survived. The cops had another way to deal with the situation as Trevor has put it. They decided to be assholes.
Please explain to me how the officers life felt “threatened” enough to shoot him in the back. I don’t care if he had his taser. They label it as less-lethal. He was running away from you. How about if you feel threatened by the taser you used on him WHY should it be used? This man was murdered because he was intoxicated and fell asleep in a parking lot.
You had his car, let him run. Issue a warrant later. It’s not like they don’t love showing up to arrest you on a warrant they don’t even inform you you have or give you the opportunity to turn yourself in.
A good friend of mine, who is bipolar had a really bad manic break after the doctors switched up her medication. Her dad called the police and informed the officers of exactly what her state of mind was and why. She ran with a kitchen knife. When they caught up to her she threatened to stab their dog. They tased her 4x. She weighed all of 90 pounds. Yes she’s white, they didn’t shoot her in the back but this is so unnecessary. She ended up in the hospital, alive, with no charges. She refused to pursue a complaint. She was just grateful they didn’t charge her with, fleeing and alluding, resisting the police while being mentally ill.
This has to stop. The system isn’t working. When you are afraid to even confront your assailants out of fear. Don’t stop until we have real change. No one and ESPECIALLY people of BIPOC deserve to be treated like they are less than. Stop murdering people!!!
they were threatened by a man running ...away from them...while drunk.... aiming a taser. He must be a really good marksman to pull that off not to mention the tasers have a limited range. If he's running away from them it's near impossible for him to even hit them. They clearly had a knee jerk reaction to use excessive force....Cops are supposed to diffuse situations but these cops appear to be trained like they're going to war every day
He turned towards the cop and the cop reacted, should be thinking of what could of been done earlier before. To change the outcome
From what I know the guy turn and shoots the taser at the cop. He wanted it to land a hit.
Yeah they tazed her cause she didn't TAKE Their tazer 😂 you defy all stupidity in this country
@@thedragonqueen5137 tasers have limited range this police should know it, and clearly they are not train well they let someone get hold a weapon they using..

is that a reason to shot him when he wa running away with the back towards tha cops????? wtf is wrong with u?
@@andreabori1456 he didn't just point it. He fired it at their face. I for one am glad the cops were a better shot then the criminal Brooks.
This wuss loves to play Monday Morning Quarterback: probably can't even load a magazine yet tries to act all hard core
Doesn't matter that he turned and pointed the officer's taser at him....becuz the taser only shoots 2 times and is not considered a deadly weapon and the cops had already shot him with it twice when they had him on the ground b4 he ran so the taser was not going to shoot again anyway....and let's face it the cop shot him in his back out of frustration of him running away. Again that doesn't justify him taking his life.
When adrenaline is running during an incident don't always have time to think if taser is empty: sometimes it's just instincts
I wonder why he didn't include that the guy who grabbed the taser ended up almost incapacitating the officer the taser almost hit the officer's head which is lethal
it doesn't fit the agenda of course
because it's STILL not a reason to die. it should've never gotten to that point since the officers should have been deescalating the interaction with a DRUNK person. There's a lot of what ifs, but the absolute truth still remains, this person shouldn't have died.
trevor told that he grabbed the tase and firing the taser, but did you know the taser already empty? Because the taser already fired twice and the officer knew that.
