I’m black and live in Fulton County. We are all voting our corrupt POS DA out especially after these unjust charges were thrown at a cop just doing his job.
That's your fault that's my fault that's every decent American Patriots fault for allowing this to happen ! When have we NO WHEN WILL WE STAND UP AND SAY ENOUGH AND PUT A STOP TO IT!
@GodKingVivec no one is asking for this. This is the political. But yes the BLM will be to blame even though anyone with half a brain would know the source.
There is no freaking way he will get prosecuted for that are found guilty. He will be back at work hopefully soon. He’s a good cop he’s not one of the bad ones.
Ryan Ricks yah he actually should this case should be laughed out of the court room you know there are consequences to your actions you can’t aim a potentially lethal weapon at a cop and fire it and expect him to value your life more then his own clearly this guy doesn’t care about the well being of others he showed that when he got behind the wheel he literally did everything wrong right up until he died
More insane idiocy. The cop will go to prison for shooting an unarmed man in the back while fleeing. I would give the cop 30 but he will probably get 10 to 15.
DisgustedLuigi how when we will INSTANTLY be shut down and labeled racist lol. They are even calling black people who agree with us racist!!! It’s insanity!!
(Unfortunately) President Trump can't... He can only pardon federal convictions--not state convictions. Now, the Georgia governor can pardon state convictions (if this even results in a conviction).
It is a game they play to pretend cop will never be "prosecuted". Those charges are meant for an aquittal verdict. Common practice to please the gullible.
@@BokaLokaToka the taser as a deadly weapon was used to charge cops. The DA is trying to go both ways against the officers. The officer was within policy and the law from what Nate Brody went over. I dont think it was needed to shoot him but I dont think that it was anything that should be held against the officer.
Almighty-_-ken he pointed the taser at the cops and was fighting🤦🏾♂️the cops were as nice as they can be to him and then he starts swinging and takes the cops taser
@@almighty-_-ken3164 And he didn't need to resist arrest at all in the beginning, he would still be alive. Do you know why he was resisting the arrest?
The Coward Liberius “white people arent oppresed like black people!” White people: *cant say something because they are white* *can’t defend themselves legally against someone of color without being racist* *cant have an opinion because you are racist if you disagree*
@@willardsandy2589 Thats what im saying. Two dude could not detain one drunk dude? I like Ben Shapiro, and what he stands for, but he has been wrong on this and many other similar topics.
Really, so a cop can use legal force whenever he/she deems necessary. Would have thought he/she has to at least show he/she is in fear for their life. I watched the video, once that guy ran, he was not in imminent danger .The deceased obviously resisted arrest and then tried and failed to use a taser on the police; this doesn't give an officer of the state reason to kill him. No wonder the US cops kill so many people, black and white. SMH
@@jonm3131 ohh so we just have to assume he won't use any other deadly weapon after using a taser at a police officer without any hesitation? You think he'll run a few yards and surrender? And the police officer had frikkin taser burns.SMH.... People just follow the trend without ever questioning if it's correct or not
@Frederick 300,000 interactions with police officers last year, 9 unarmed African Americans were killed by police, 19 unarmed white men were killed by police, 3000 African Americans were killed by African Americans in chicago last year, more African Americans were killed by police in 2015 under Barack Obama than any year since Trump has been president, no rioting in 2015, those are facts, more officers died in the line of duty than all races combined
lot0pie the taser incapacitate the officer and the suspect proceeds to steal his firearm to finish the officer off he stole a taser so it not far fetch that he would have stolen a firearm
The DA lied about Brosnan testifying against Rolfe and he has also previously said that a taser is a deadly weapon when he made charges against police for using tasers. Now that it's a police officer defending himself against a taser aimed at his head, he says it isn't. The DA needs to be disbarred and the mayor and DA should go to prison for misusing their offices.
I can assure you...there have been many more instances that I’ve seen and learned about personally that have been “corrupt”...but in the other direction. Saying there is a correlation between “black lives matter” and a black mayor and DA holds no basis in any logic or reality. You know how much corruption has favored white individuals in the justice system filled with predominantly white judges and da’s? bet you wouldn’t say that’s a conspiracy. Bet you’d say that they are just doing their job. Not saying anything about this case specifically, just in general. Be consistent.
Christian Rivera why was the FBI agent who shot Lavoy Finicum not charged? He was ordered by Obama to ambush him while Obama watched live from the war room. Why was the Somali Police Officer in Minneapolis who shot the unarmed woman not charged? He is muslim.....
The only thing that would be justified is the execution of the cockroach that police officer is, including anyone who refuses service. This is not the Wild West anymore. I don’t need these high school dropouts and ex-military loser gunslingers in the police.
@@efeozdural1857 Wrong. They put higher charges so they will be reduced and he will still have to pay for something he didn't do. Probation, lose his job, etc. Looks to me like he was a pretty good cop from what I have seen.
Bold of you to assume the system would allow itself to be subject to the punishments applicable by law, when the system itself, is the law. Even if he were to take them into court, he wouldn't have the funds to compete for however many YEARS it would possibly take to just get a simple verdict of what should be a cut and dry case.
Brooks was an idiot for conducting his arrest that way, and deserved every charge that was coming to him. But he was shot in the Back running away from the cops (AFTER) he fired the Taser. Cops knew he was unarmed at the time of the killing. It's all on video. That's why these cops were charged with Murder. Because their lives were NOT in threat of death when they pulled the trigger. Simple. Shapiro has valid points that I agree with sometimes, but he's wrong here. These cops deserve the murder charge.
I'm a prosecutor, never in a million years would I charge this officer with anything. There are defense attorney lining up to defend this officer, easiest case in history.
@@jaydenarmstrong8132 Maybe you should do yourself a favor and read the statutes of self-defense and deadly force. There are seven instances when a LEO can use deadly force. Enjoy the read before opening your pie hole again.
Thats is why your system is soo broken if u seriously think that shooting was justified. No wonder your country is quickly going into the toilet. You dont value human life out there. There is always some sort of justification for any cop killing which could have been properly handled without anyone losing their life. But it's like yall are soo used to such stupidity that it has become your normal. It's a bleeding shame to see people can be soo dumb n also from someone who claims he is a DA. Pathetic!!!
@@geniusmainus Too idealistic for my taste. Sometimes it's either him or the safety of others. Brooks posed a threat to the officer and the people around. That's why it's not so simple. Yes, they could have chosen not to shoot him, but that would be gambling the safety of everyone else around. Of course many people would love human life to be valued more, but you need to understand that Brooks put himself, the cops, and everyone nearby into a more risky, potentially life-threatening situation. If he valued his own life and others, then he should have just complied with the police. His DUI case was likely a misdemeanor but the moment he assaulted a cop and took the taser, he made his case a felony. Again he made his own situation worse.
or maybe they shouldn't have tried to apprehend him at all. He was cooperating for over 40 minutes while they had him jump through hoops. Give him a citation for public intoxication, call him an uber/lyft/taxi and send him on his way. Avoids unnecessary escalation and he wont be behind the wheel of a vehicle. Police here in the states just LOVE power and violence.
or just dont shoot him in the back you have his car you have his license. Why shoot him in the back, not saying the guy was write for running but shooting people in the back for running is too much.
@Alex Jay like I said, they could have simply given him a citation, called him a taxi of some sort and sent him on his way. 0 escalation and very low chance of aggravating him. They're still taking him off the streets but they aren't taking an unnecessary risk in escalating the situation either. He'd just end up in court to either pay the fine or contest it, the judge would probably say the officers did him a favor by only issuing a citation, he'd pay it and be on his way.
i truly am finding it hard to believe that the majority of you citizens are ignorant to the POWER of a bullet being fired from a gun🧐?? guns weren’t made to slow targets down it’s
Watching it unfold from the outside is almost like watching reality TV. There are so many insanely absurd things happening over there that is completely unfathomable to me.
Orlando Rodriguez because somehow white privilege is still a thing? It’s not even a good argument at this point. This cop did his job. That guy regardless black, white, Asian, Hispanic, whatever stole a taser and was a major risk and not only that, pointed and attempted to fire the taser at the officer. What is the cop going to do, pull out a random second taser or something? Put yourself in that cops shoes for a second. It’s disgusting how people treat this like black vs white. It’s not, it’s dems and liberals vs republicans and conservatives. It’s victim vs responsibility
Okay this is just bluntly being racist toward white cops. That was prolly the most peaceful altercation between white cop and Black man i have seen, Brooks was the reason the situation escalated so quickly. As a black man tbh the charges these officers are facing are unreal and the maximum punishment should be like a suspension for a week.
Drunk drivers kill 10,000 people a year in the US. All innocent. Cops kill 2,000 or so. Not all of them are innocent, clearly. So what's going to happen if we stop locking up people for DUI?
Firing the Mayor will not do crap. We will get another bad mayor. I can say this because I am an Atlanta resident and we have such as bad track record with Mayors, I would think that resurrecting Caligula appointing dictator for life would be a better option.
Isaac Newton he resisted arrest, fought with the 2 officers on the ground. He didn’t know even know where he was and how he got there, was suspected of DUI. He grabbed the officers taser and shot them with it while running toward others. Don’t resist the law and take their weapon. What is wrong with you?
@@harborfowler9106 As I have said multiple time, if the cop had shot Brooks during the struggle or scuffle when he was resisting arrest it would have been justified. But when Brooks started running away he was no longer a threat. The cop knew he wasn't a threat that's why he was chasing him out in the open. If the cop thought Brooks was a deadly threat and could have killed him, the cop wouldn't be chasing him but would have found cover and called for backup. Former Acting U.S. AG Whitaker said the shooting was unjustified. Everything that happened is on video and anyone with a brain can see a fleeing man being shot in the back. This is not hard. Don't mix up the two events. Explaining this to dummies is getting tiresome. If somebody hit you and you hit them back it would be self defense and justified. But if you waited a day to hit them back it would be unjustified. I hope this clears things up for you.
@@1oxyoke you wanna call us the dummies... ...look at the fucking comments for once. This was justified. He still had a taser. This particular taser could shoot twice ffs
The officer *did* actually give him *multiple* chances to put the weapon down. During the struggle, he was told to drop it, and again, after using it on one cop, the other cop still gave him a chance to drop it, only firing when he then pointed that taser at the second officer. That's two chances to drop it rejected, plus choosing to stop running and point it at them. So *after* grabbing the taser, he chose *three times* to use it against the cops.
@@dimeemid7404 I mean, he did just tell Americans to inject themselves with disinfectant not too long ago, saying that doing that and lots of sunlight could kill the virus. The fact that people actually listened to him and did that makes me a bit worried for the human race lol
His views are too extreme in the wrong direction for establishment. Ben wants to eliminate the Department of Education if he were President. That is the prime indoctrination organization of the Left, so they would never let that fly.
Those two Policemen were only doing their job. It is good they got the man off the road or he may have killed himself or others. Imagine what this is doing to the morale of other Policemen in this Country.
Watching CNN from Malta right now, apparently CNN is shocked because police are walking out due to them being 'held accountable'. Personally I just think police are sick of this shit
One of the cops could have been killed during that struggle, the other one who was charged nearly hit his head on the pavement when Brooks threw him off. And this is the thanks he gets for risking his life...
@@khutsomatome2676 no he didn't but he played a stupid game and he won a stupid price. If he had grabbed the cops real gun there could be a couple Dead Cops and he would be on death row. Either way he should have cooperated.. I feel bad all families of the people involved in this incident..
There IS footage of the alleged “kick”, and it’s a total lie. He did NOT Kick him. He was stepping over him. It’s as clear as day. The prosecutor should be disbarred for bringing such a charge when the video image proves him wrong. Up until this point I was okay with all if the protests, as I understood them. But this one is a total farce.
This is so disgusting to me. I’ve read that the police officers begged him not to die and clearly cared about him dying. For them to act like the cops didn’t care is just horrible.
He will lose his seat and go to jail for racketeering or embezzlement. He’s been funneling money for years. I just hope he takes Kasim Reed our former mayor with him. If he doesn’t lose the race it’ll end quick when the investigation does idk why he hasn’t been arrested yet honestly. But he’s clearly trying to use the media’s trick of only showing a tiny tidbit to showcase his own narrative.
The protests are based on a narrative of lies fed to us through our media and educational systems since we are children. McCarthy didn't go far enough in the '50s if you get my meaning.
The other officer shot him in the back 2 times when he was running away. Get some balls and admit American police are strong enough to arrest a drunk person.
Injustice is usually the breeding ground for racism, and what I mean by that is that if you feel another race is above you, you start growing hatred towards that race... It is that simple really. All this will only increase racism in the future towards black people. I am not sure if the black community's spokespersons are stupid, or just want to actually try to be above everyone else, and eventually get alienated in the grand scheme of things. The black community has always been a divided mess, and now they successfully brought this mess to everyone else. I do think the whites who joined the cause will soon realise what they are defending, and go back to caring for another cause (I guess global warming again). We have an unheard minority who are getting enraged by the current pathetic attempts of a divided, victimised race to gain more privileges than they already have: Asians. They are not complaining, as they never do, and go about their business. Some would say they suffer from more persecutions than anyone else (need a much higher SAT score to get into the top universities while undeserving people go in with no problem?). When that explodes, let's see what happens. It is a vicious circle. Why are we defending criminals anyway?
I'm thousands of miles away I'm the uk and I'm raging over this! It's totally unacceptable! He was going his job and the guy attacked him with his own weapon!

@@noelpucarua2843 and yet as terrible and miserable America is in your opinion people stand in line to come here, break laws to come here and even risk death to come here. Is this country perfect, hell no but point to any other country where people are going to such extremes to get into.
Special treatment is the result for all victimhood, victimisation never leads to equality but special rights. Look at women rights, and minority rights, it's overzeeds the rights for everyone else meaning whites.

The police officer admitted that the taser wasnt a threat because it had been unloaded twice previously and wasnt functional, and still discharged his weapons knowing full well that he wasnt a threat, so yeah, its a case of full blown police brutally
@@djricecakes6035 ok, a pistol too, but if I leave an unloaded pistol, knowing full well it is unloaded and someone picks it up and tries to shoot me and I kill him knowing full well that it is unloaded, I committed a murder. It would not be a case of reasonable use of reasonable forces.
Ray Be kind to others, it goes a long way Be kind to others, is your username? Not living up to it, now are you. The kill of rayshard was a legal kill. He’s a good cop and people like you don’t get that everyone is human. Heartless
Dude was driving drunk, passed out in a drive through, gets caught. Resisted arrest, yet was “doing nothing wrong”. He could have killed someone driving drunk. How is this being overlooked??
What if he takes the taser, gets away and kills a kid? Or uses it on an elderly person and kills them, or a pregnant lady and the lady falls causing a miscarriage. These are only a few of the things that can come back on the police if he gets away. I’m not condoning the behavior of the officer or the victim. That said, bad things happen when you do stupid shit.
@@spidermanhayne5401 If you were *only* passed out in the drive through then why would you resist arrest? Why take a taser and point it against armed police officers? Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Sad that he got killed but why did he put himself in a situation where he risks his life.
Of course they did, who else is going to protect the property when police restrictions are at the worst they have been in history and are resigning from left to right. You?
I believe the officer handle the situation extremely well, when the black guy was on top of the officer and was beating down on him trying to steal his weapon thats already a count for getting shot, but they didn't.
If the officers had no weapon (like many other counties) the officers would have fought thier way to arresting the suspect...and everyone would have been alive. However the suspect did not do what he was told but this dose not mean death...it should never mean death!
Großer Schwanz F*ck that noise. The moment you steal a weapon from an officer of the law with an intent to use weapon; your life is forfeit. It sickens me when people make excuses for criminal scums who would still be alive if only they’d learn early on how to properly deal with authority.
Sherlyn Page it is racist tho. How u arrest and then kill someone for resting in a parking lot but a white school shooter gets arrested like nothing and gets Burger King after
Sherlyn Page you can not prove what someone thinks. Intent is hard to prove unless said by criminal. That being said pretending that this country isn’t built of the degradation and enslavement of black people is quite ridiculous. I couldn’t pee in the same place as you 50 years ago. To insist that a racist mindset immediately disappeared after it was ended is ridiculous. An example would be juneteenth. Texans were still holding slaves two years after African Americans emancipation.
When I was younger my ultimate dream was to become an officer and protect the community. I'm 19 and about to choose my own path in life, but I don't want to choose one where I'm hated by everyone.
Then don't become a cop and start beating the shit out of random people or shooting drunk people to death my man. if you notice, the cops getting blasted in the media are the ones assaulting/murdering civilians.
Shoddragon shooting a man who abused his children was drink driving and fought officer AND.stile their taser and shot the officers. My god your definitely SPECIAL .

A majority of corrupt officials are white, so what does being black have to do with it? If you’re going to defend what Chase said, don’t get mad at what Christian said.
@@lauralil6886 your comment makes no sense. He was replying to the original comment "cuz he's black" which is bringing race into it ,the counter argument seems valid since race was originally brought up.
notagain_noah welp lethal weapons or not they can still kill you.And the real moral of the story is if you want to get away with a crime right now is time.
Resisting arrest is wrong. No one disagrees with that. Meeting a non-lethal threat with lethal force is the issue here. You seem to believe that if you resist arrest then you deserve to die which is barbaric.
Moral of story for cops in Atlanta -don’t bother anyone sleeping in their car and don’t try to restrain someone resisting arrest . Especially if that person is drunk or of color.
John Hammersmith He was operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.. that’s a felony crime, ask the families of all the dead friends and children from said drunk driving accidents. Therefore he rightfully was detained and then resisted arrest, obtained a officers taser, then proceeded to use the said taser on a arresting officer. What happens when that taser connects to the officer, and then the suspect is able to get the officers firearm to use against the officers and then any civilian he chooses? This is why it’s a justified shooting. The officers could’ve opened fire the moment he grabbed a officers taser but they even gave him the benefit of the doubt and waited for him to use it against them.
@KyokushinTrader PLEASE DONT COMPARE EUROPE TO THE US . Cops in greece germany and sweden get an average of 3000+ hours training while in the US its only 680.

She essentially said that, "It doesn't matter if this was legal use of a weapon or not. It's MY opinion that it's unjustified, therefore it was wrong".
Ok if Brooks was able to taze that cop chasing him, he could have gotten his service pistol while the cop could do nothing. That is a key to a deadly weapon, also stolen property I guess.
@@christophermallett8166 Well... they could have let him go home even those he was DUI. If Brooks killed someone after the police let him go the PD will get sued. DUI is a FELONY!!!
@@ZealStarMedia There were two officers there. Brooks was shot in the back while running away. He was agreeable until they were going to arrest them. He wrestled with them, snatched a taser and ran away. They shot him in the back. They were wearing body armor but he could still taser them in the face, killing them. A lot depends on if Brooks was really pointing the taser at them over his shoulder while running away.

Imagine defending a person who already had a dui charge, was jailed for abusing his children, who was suspected of another dui, resisting arrest, stealing the police's taser and trying to use it on the officers which is considered Deadly weapon in the state of Georgia. That mayor and the DA should be forced to step down immediately.
you missed the part where the police officers went up to him for literally none of what you listed AND he cooperated with them for 40 minutes. Life isn't "Blue Bloods" where cops instantly know every crime someone has ever committed or whatever superpower you think they have.
One of your worst takes ever. The dude absolutely broke the law and deserved a punishment but that punishment isn’t death. Assault and a DUI is not worthy of the death penalty. He was running away, he was not a threat to anyone’s life and he has a taser not a gun. He did not have a lethal weapon. The cop should have chased him, not killed him.
@Larry Patterson the guy assaulted a police officer while resisting arrest and grab a firearm from an officer, then fired it at him. Regardless of race, when you do those actions you are asking to be shot. He might as well said " Shoot me I'm a moron"
Benjamin King he grabbed a tazer and if a tazer is considered deadly force in Georgia then why are cops using lethal force against a man who is resisting arrest? System is broken that’s why
If the punishment for resisting unjust police custody while being drunk is being shot at and dying - than that is much closer to murder than to justice.
@@newera478 as a public officer the DA works on behalf of the city government. That's why. Same reason Amy Acton suits include the Ohio State Government
Ayrton Tennessee Vs. Garner allows it if they have committed a felony and are fleeing. If Brooks would have survived he would’ve been charged with Robbery, Battery on a peace officer (x2), and Driving Under the Influence. I think the officers were justified in shooting Mr. Brooks. With that being said, it is still a tragic death. If Mr. Brooks would’ve just taken the ride to jail, he would still be alive.
Samuel Miller it’s not about his safety in that situation... it’s about the civilians. If that guy was willing to shoot a cop with a taser near the head trying to kill him then what do you think he would do to a civilian. Also, he was not doing his job poorly, because when someone takes your taser you need to switch to your secondary aka deadly force. So before you speak next time know your facts😂
Samuel Miller don’t try to assault a officer with a deadly weapon and that wouldn’t happened he wouldn’t have got shot if he didn’t aim at the officer and try to shoot him with a taser
Samuel Miller i hope u know the same judge that is charging ralph has said that a taser is a deadly weapon when it’s in a cops hand. as soon as it’s in a civilian hands it’s not a deadly weapon and that’s why he’s being charged. it’s unfair and it either has to be a deadly weapon WHICH IS IT or it can’t be
3 "trained cops" couldnt handle a drunk man and had to resort to using their firearms for "defending themselves".....what are you gonna say tomorrow??? Three armed cops had to shoot a child for defending themselves from his nerf guns???
Aruji-Sama he was really peaceful and they gave him a lot of room, and were friendly with him. Suddenly he just attacked them and tried to shoot them. Can’t trust these big black boxers
Aruji-Sama also i saw a video of black parents teaching their child to shoot and kill police officers. That’s so sick, and the reason why cops can’t trust even kids
@@deprae5788 your leaving out a detail he asked if the cops could call him a Uber and he could park his car and leave the keys the cops insisted on aresting him instead and that is what escalated things. I personally think that if you steal a cops weapon and run off with it and then point it at a cop don't be surprised if the cops shoots you even if it's a Taser. Maybe I'm grasping straws here but I think in the moment the cop saw a man pointing what looks like a gun and shot him in response without thinking. Obviously the cop needs to be punished but this is far from the Sam as the George Floyd case.
Atlanta Mayors are like Chicago Mayors the city has a bad track record of corrupt mayors and the one who allowed the Braves to leave and turned Turner Field into a football field I am still bitter about that.

I've had 2 DUI's. From certain perspectives, a DUI is one of the worst charges you can get, at least for someone like me who is white. Each DUI costs about 15k in my state/county. And you dont even have to be "drunk", just above the limit. Here I'll explain the financial aspect of just a 1st DUI offense: $3000 decent lawyer $2000 for a mandatory alcohol program for half a year (differs by state) $2000 for an ignition interlock for your car for half a year $1500 fines and court fees for your DUI charge $5000 for a private drug abuse clinic (most lawyers recommend you sign up to a drug rehab program prior your trial so that later you can tell the judge "look I am treating my alcoholism") $1000 for probation (in my jurisdiction, you actually have to pay for being on probation) 5-10 days of jail for 1st offence Hundreds of hours spent on commute to drug rehab centers every other day, etc DUI's are indeed very, very serious in this country. Such convictions carry a large financial burden and limit your ability to live for about 1 year. But I am white, not sure if blacks face similar harsh repercussions
@@Andy-wk7ub If the video proved them right that they kicked a taser way the video would already have been released the fact that it hasn't been released probably shows the officer doing exactly that kicking the suspect while hes down
So it’s OKAY for him to drive under the influence and possibly kill someone or multiple people, and it’s OKAY for him to fight the police and run, and it’s OKAY for him to still a police officer’s taser and shoot it at him. But it’s a freaking CRIME for the police officer to do his job and save others in the city who could be at a possible threat????

The DA lied about Brosnan testifying against Rolfe and he has also previously said that a taser is a deadly weapon when he made charges against police for using tasers. Now that it's a police officer defending himself against a taser aimed at his head, he says it isn't. The DA needs to be disbarred and the mayor and DA should go to prison for misusing their offices.

Brooks was an idiot for conducting his arrest that way, and deserved every charge that was coming to him. But he was shot in the Back running away from the cops (AFTER) he fired the Taser.

@@geniusmainus Too idealistic for my taste. Sometimes it's either him or the safety of others. Brooks posed a threat to the officer and the people around. That's why it's not so simple. Yes, they could have chosen not to shoot him, but that would be gambling the safety of everyone else around. Of course many people would love human life to be valued more, but you need to understand that Brooks put himself, the cops, and everyone nearby into a more risky, potentially life-threatening situation. If he valued his own life and others, then he should have just complied with the police. His DUI case was likely a misdemeanor but the moment he assaulted a cop and took the taser, he made his case a felony. Again he made his own situation worse.

Cop should've tried to apprehend him with hugs and kisses
or maybe they shouldn't have tried to apprehend him at all. He was cooperating for over 40 minutes while they had him jump through hoops. Give him a citation for public intoxication, call him an uber/lyft/taxi and send him on his way. Avoids unnecessary escalation and he wont be behind the wheel of a vehicle.
Police here in the states just LOVE power and violence.
or just dont shoot him in the back you have his car you have his license. Why shoot him in the back, not saying the guy was write for running but shooting people in the back for running is too much.
@Alex Jay like I said, they could have simply given him a citation, called him a taxi of some sort and sent him on his way. 0 escalation and very low chance of aggravating him.
They're still taking him off the streets but they aren't taking an unnecessary risk in escalating the situation either. He'd just end up in court to either pay the fine or contest it, the judge would probably say the officers did him a favor by only issuing a citation, he'd pay it and be on his way.

What is the cop going to do, pull out a random second taser or something? Put yourself in that cops shoes for a second. It’s disgusting how people treat this like black vs white. It’s not, it’s dems and liberals vs republicans and conservatives. It’s victim vs responsibility
Okay this is just bluntly being racist toward white cops. That was prolly the most peaceful altercation between white cop and Black man i have seen, Brooks was the reason the situation escalated so quickly. As a black man tbh the charges these officers are facing are unreal and the maximum punishment should be like a suspension for a week.

He grabbed the officers taser and shot them with it while running toward others. Don’t resist the law and take their weapon. What is wrong with you?
@@harborfowler9106 As I have said multiple time, if the cop had shot Brooks during the struggle or scuffle when he was resisting arrest it would have been justified. But when Brooks started running away he was no longer a threat. The cop knew he wasn't a threat that's why he was chasing him out in the open. If the cop thought Brooks was a deadly threat and could have killed him, the cop wouldn't be chasing him but would have found cover and called for backup. Former Acting U.S. AG Whitaker said the shooting was unjustified. Everything that happened is on video and anyone with a brain can see a fleeing man being shot in the back. This is not hard. Don't mix up the two events. Explaining this to dummies is getting tiresome. If somebody hit you and you hit them back it would be self defense and justified. But if you waited a day to hit them back it would be unjustified. I hope this clears things up for you.

You don’t steal a mans weapon and expect him to ask you for it back when you point it at him...
He shot at him
They know that. They just want reelected
The officer *did* actually give him *multiple* chances to put the weapon down. During the struggle, he was told to drop it, and again, after using it on one cop, the other cop still gave him a chance to drop it, only firing when he then pointed that taser at the second officer. That's two chances to drop it rejected, plus choosing to stop running and point it at them. So *after* grabbing the taser, he chose *three times* to use it against the cops.

The protests are based on a narrative of lies fed to us through our media and educational systems since we are children. McCarthy didn't go far enough in the '50s if you get my meaning.
The other officer shot him in the back 2 times when he was running away. Get some balls and admit American police are strong enough to arrest a drunk person.
Injustice is usually the breeding ground for racism, and what I mean by that is that if you feel another race is above you, you start growing hatred towards that race...
It is that simple really. All this will only increase racism in the future towards black people. I am not sure if the black community's spokespersons are stupid, or just want to actually try to be above everyone else, and eventually get alienated in the grand scheme of things. The black community has always been a divided mess, and now they successfully brought this mess to everyone else. I do think the whites who joined the cause will soon realise what they are defending, and go back to caring for another cause (I guess global warming again).
We have an unheard minority who are getting enraged by the current pathetic attempts of a divided, victimised race to gain more privileges than they already have: Asians. They are not complaining, as they never do, and go about their business.

@@spidermanhayne5401 If you were *only* passed out in the drive through then why would you resist arrest? Why take a taser and point it against armed police officers?
Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Sad that he got killed but why did he put himself in a situation where he risks his life.
I could feel my blood boiling when I heard this news.
They turned him into a scapegoat in order to appease the violent rioters.
This is disgusting!
Of course they did, who else is going to protect the property when police restrictions are at the worst they have been in history and are resigning from left to right. You?
Are you even a real person? You and half the comments type like some political cleverbot
I believe the officer handle the situation extremely well, when the black guy was on top of the officer and was beating down on him trying to steal his weapon thats already a count for getting shot, but they didn't.
Staged race war psy-ops!

Yeah how come nobody's pointing out the fact he was hitting those officers?
If the officers had no weapon (like many other counties) the officers would have fought thier way to arresting the suspect...and everyone would have been alive. However the suspect did not do what he was told but this dose not mean death...it should never mean death!
Großer Schwanz F*ck that noise. The moment you steal a weapon from an officer of the law with an intent to use weapon; your life is forfeit. It sickens me when people make excuses for criminal scums who would still be alive if only they’d learn early on how to properly deal with authority.
It’s so sad that officer Rolfe is being used as a pawn in their sick political game. This prosecution is completely wrong. Justice for Rolfe
How about justice for black people murdered by racist cops?
1968weedsmoke any proof of racism or are you just going to use that as a default every time a black man commits a crime and ends up dead ?
@@1968weedsmoke not everything is racist stop using it to get black crimanls out of trouble
Sherlyn Page it is racist tho. How u arrest and then kill someone for resting in a parking lot but a white school shooter gets arrested like nothing and gets Burger King after
Sherlyn Page you can not prove what someone thinks. Intent is hard to prove unless said by criminal. That being said pretending that this country isn’t built of the degradation and enslavement of black people is quite ridiculous. I couldn’t pee in the same place as you 50 years ago. To insist that a racist mindset immediately disappeared after it was ended is ridiculous. An example would be juneteenth. Texans were still holding slaves two years after African Americans emancipation.
When I was younger my ultimate dream was to become an officer and protect the community. I'm 19 and about to choose my own path in life, but I don't want to choose one where I'm hated by everyone.
Decent people wouldn't want this job now. When you have to try and prove that arresting a criminal is beneficial for the society.
Then don't become a cop and start beating the shit out of random people or shooting drunk people to death my man. if you notice, the cops getting blasted in the media are the ones assaulting/murdering civilians.
Pick another career. Honestly the last thing you want to become is a puppet for the US
From my personal experience cops sucks and are extremely unprofessional and under trained. I have never ran into a decent cop before.
Shoddragon shooting a man who abused his children was drink driving and fought officer AND.stile their taser and shot the officers. My god your definitely SPECIAL .
The education level of that DA is about 9th grade.
You’re giving him much more credit than he deserves.
What happened in communist countries... no officials there have actual qualification or education
You're too kind
My guy what high schools u going to?
This is literally making me feel sick that they would do this
Same here.
That DA has a double digit IQ. No doubt at all.
He says "death" like "deaf" and "co-operate" like "co-operDATE"! How laughable!
I pray this man gets real justice. He was protecting his own life and his partner.
And the community who shunned him.
Yeah his life was in real danger. He could’ve died from that taser lol C mon two men couldn’t take down one man. They suck at their job and they’re under trained.
@@trevorpowell3653 That's the part I still don't get. How did one drunk man overpower two "trained" officers?
Yea he was in real danger wearing a bullet proof vests against a scared drunk man with a taser.
That’ wasn’t cops that was some weak ass security.
I dread the day that Rush Limbaugh isn’t broadcasting his show anymore but Ben Shapiro has a bright future. Always a great listen!
Scary that officials like this DA can be elected to office in the first place.
Cuz he’s black.
Chase Potter lmao most of the officials doing damage in this country are white and have been white. Not saying it’s right for a black or Hispanic official to be corrupt, just saying let’s not be ignorant to the majority. Be consistent
@@christianrivera8490 it does sound like you are defending him by saying "whitey does it too" condemn the corrupt people in power and dont bring other bullshit into the argument to muddy the water.
Laura lil - Christian brought up that white people do it too because Chase said, “Cuz he’s black.” It seems that Chase muddied the water first, no? A majority of corrupt officials are white, so what does being black have to do with it? If you’re going to defend what Chase said, don’t get mad at what Christian said.
@@lauralil6886 your comment makes no sense. He was replying to the original comment "cuz he's black" which is bringing race into it ,the counter argument seems valid since race was originally brought up.
Moral of the story: Don’t commit crimes and resist arrest
Another moral of the story: Don't give cops lethal weapons if they're going to act like they're playing Call of Duty.
notagain_noah welp lethal weapons or not they can still kill you.And the real moral of the story is if you want to get away with a crime right now is time.
Resisting arrest is wrong. No one disagrees with that. Meeting a non-lethal threat with lethal force is the issue here. You seem to believe that if you resist arrest then you deserve to die which is barbaric.
Moral of story for cops in Atlanta -don’t bother anyone sleeping in their car and don’t try to restrain someone resisting arrest . Especially if that person is drunk or of color.
John Hammersmith He was operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.. that’s a felony crime, ask the families of all the dead friends and children from said drunk driving accidents. Therefore he rightfully was detained and then resisted arrest, obtained a officers taser, then proceeded to use the said taser on a arresting officer. What happens when that taser connects to the officer, and then the suspect is able to get the officers firearm to use against the officers and then any civilian he chooses? This is why it’s a justified shooting. The officers could’ve opened fire the moment he grabbed a officers taser but they even gave him the benefit of the doubt and waited for him to use it against them.
Watching Joe Biden slur his way through a script asking for our support is pathetic, but worth the price to hear Ben Shapiro's take on current events.
lol, i know. it was the best take they could get before Joe's nap. listen to all of Bidens ads, they cost his campaign $ and make me laugh.
No need for tasers then, police officers can use their “deadly” boots...
@KyokushinTrader PLEASE DONT COMPARE EUROPE TO THE US . Cops in greece germany and sweden get an average of 3000+ hours training while in the US its only 680. Maybr thats explains why American cops cant aim in the legs or shoulders, instead they shoot you 3 times in your back. They are just incompenent
@@poro167 lot of shooting training trains the shooter to shoot in the "A-Zone" or "centre mass", which in a nut shell means the body / torso.
@@poro167 you do not shoot people in the legs. you shoot to stop the threat. which often means multiple body shots. limb shots do not stop the threat. KyokushinTrader
, stop watching television to get your knowledge of the US. its all twisted and spun to make you see it a certain way.
Yassin Ahmed You have a higher chance of dying from a leg shot then a back shot
@@poro167 You win the coveted CZcams stupidest comment of the week award.
She essentially said that, "It doesn't matter if this was legal use of a weapon or not. It's MY opinion that it's unjustified, therefore it was wrong".
Right?! Like, HOW???
Due process is under attack. Very dangerous times.
her 'feelings' have no place in this matter!
STICK TO THE FACTS, MA'AM!
Ironically, this is the same defense police officers and their unions use lmfao. I'm glad people are starting to see it's not very good logic.
i love it when ben goes lawyer mode
I firmly believe she is a clout chaser and doesn’t care about her duties
Big facts
Do you even live in Atlanta my guy🤦🏾♂️
Ok if Brooks was able to taze that cop chasing him, he could have gotten his service pistol while the cop could do nothing. That is a key to a deadly weapon, also stolen property I guess.
Exactly
So that's what you're working with? "could have"?? You could say that for ANY scenario in life. Why not work with what ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
@@christophermallett8166 Well... they could have let him go home even those he was DUI. If Brooks killed someone after the police let him go the PD will get sued. DUI is a FELONY!!!
Christopher Mallett
Ah yes, wait until after he killed someone to stop him, don’t try to stop him before that’s wrong.
@@ZealStarMedia There were two officers there. Brooks was shot in the back while running away. He was agreeable until they were going to arrest them. He wrestled with them, snatched a taser and ran away. They shot him in the back. They were wearing body armor but he could still taser them in the face, killing them. A lot depends on if Brooks was really pointing the taser at them over his shoulder while running away.
I’m gonna share this on fb and get called racist. Sounds like fun. :)
I think most of my friends on Facebook just ignore me at this point. But I am sure they think I am racist even though I am minority myself.
I i know i wanna post it too
Tracy挺波特 same here man. It’s sucks, but I’m not gonna jump on the retard bandwagon that everyone boarding on.
Tracy挺波特 just because you are a minority doesn’t mean you can’t be racist. Asians are some of the racist people in the world (especially in the U.S.A).
@@TheMainMan364 interesting, I am usually the one discriminated by other people. There are racists in every race. Your comment on Asians shows a lot about you.
It's weird hearing "felony murder". I wonder what is a "misdemeanor murder"
Murder better not be a misdemeanor.
😂
Police need to stage a walk out in the United States and I’m ok with it.
Imagine defending a person who already had a dui charge, was jailed for abusing his children, who was suspected of another dui, resisting arrest, stealing the police's taser and trying to use it on the officers which is considered Deadly weapon in the state of Georgia. That mayor and the DA should be forced to step down immediately.
DA and mayor should be jailed because this is a racially motivated, abuse of power.
You left out assaulted 2 police officers
superdiscoland ...like the one currently in the White House.
you missed the part where the police officers went up to him for literally none of what you listed AND he cooperated with them for 40 minutes. Life isn't "Blue Bloods" where cops instantly know every crime someone has ever committed or whatever superpower you think they have.
@@Shoddragon He still didn't have any legal reason to run and try to flee. Especially when they are starting to arrest him.
This DA and the Mayor needs to be terminated and I hope every Atlanta police officer walks off the job!! This is crazy.
Ohh man I thought you were patty mayo
One of your worst takes ever. The dude absolutely broke the law and deserved a punishment but that punishment isn’t death. Assault and a DUI is not worthy of the death penalty. He was running away, he was not a threat to anyone’s life and he has a taser not a gun. He did not have a lethal weapon. The cop should have chased him, not killed him.
There should be protests to free this cop. Now THATS a protest I'll gladly join!!!!!
Me too!!
Bet you won’t start one
As you have seen, the police themselves are staging a "blue flu" protest. That will increase as this goes on.
Me too
Where are all the opinitated celebrities?
The legal system is falling. And it's not gonna be pretty when it hits
When was it up lmao?
@Larry Patterson the guy assaulted a police officer while resisting arrest and grab a firearm from an officer, then fired it at him. Regardless of race, when you do those actions you are asking to be shot. He might as well said " Shoot me I'm a moron"
America's legal system fell long before you were born
Benjamin King he grabbed a tazer and if a tazer is considered deadly force in Georgia then why are cops using lethal force against a man who is resisting arrest? System is broken that’s why
That's what Kaepernick was saying, and here we are. The legal system failed black people at it's inception. Ask George Stinney.
My fave quote when he said the victim "was on the ground fighting for his life"
Sure buddy
.... this is beginning to sound like a court system in a third world country. Which is dangerous. Shame on the US.
If the punishment for resisting unjust police custody while being drunk is being shot at and dying - than that is much closer to murder than to justice.
When this man wins his case in court, as he should, then he should sue the city for everything they are worth and then some.
He will not win.
Samurai Nelson I think he’s got a strong argument.
Atlanta ain't worth shit now lol.
Why would you charge the city if it's the DA who's wrong here? What kind of a logic is that?
@@newera478 as a public officer the DA works on behalf of the city government. That's why. Same reason Amy Acton suits include the Ohio State Government
This whole thing is out of control , and it’s only going to get worse
As MLK Jr. said “I’m moving to Canada!”
Get ready for war. 🤷🏼♂️

Yes. "What you can do vs. what you should do." She "should" resign.
DA: A taser is a deadly weapon.
Police shoots a man shooting a taser at him.
DA: A taser is not a deadly weapon.
Facepalm.
The DA is acting like he was just standing there talking to the officers when Rolf drew his firearm and executed him.
@@ayrtong6 when u steal a taser an then try too taze the cop.he didnt just run away.
Ayrton Tennessee Vs. Garner allows it if they have committed a felony and are fleeing. If Brooks would have survived he would’ve been charged with Robbery, Battery on a peace officer (x2), and Driving Under the Influence. I think the officers were justified in shooting Mr. Brooks. With that being said, it is still a tragic death. If Mr. Brooks would’ve just taken the ride to jail, he would still be alive.
No, he was running away and shot in him back which is illegal
Venice Beach Sports Network no it’s not. I’d love for you to cite that law. But you can’t because it doesn’t exist. Fleeing felon, look it up.
DA is trying to get the black vote to get reelected
Imagine facing murder charges for doing your job 🤦♂️
For doing your job so poorly that you kill someone so you dont get tazed? Lol
Samuel Miller it’s not about his safety in that situation... it’s about the civilians. If that guy was willing to shoot a cop with a taser near the head trying to kill him then what do you think he would do to a civilian. Also, he was not doing his job poorly, because when someone takes your taser you need to switch to your secondary aka deadly force. So before you speak next time know your facts😂
Samuel Miller don’t try to assault a officer with a deadly weapon and that wouldn’t happened he wouldn’t have got shot if he didn’t aim at the officer and try to shoot him with a taser
Samuel Miller i hope u know the same judge that is charging ralph has said that a taser is a deadly weapon when it’s in a cops hand. as soon as it’s in a civilian hands it’s not a deadly weapon and that’s why he’s being charged. it’s unfair and it either has to be a deadly weapon WHICH IS IT or it can’t be
A taser isn’t a deadly weapon...
Sad day for America, for when a cop is punished for defending himself.
This is NOTHING like Floyd's case.
ATL is lost.
3 "trained cops" couldnt handle a drunk man and had to resort to using their firearms for "defending themselves".....what are you gonna say tomorrow??? Three armed cops had to shoot a child for defending themselves from his nerf guns???
Aruji-Sama he was really peaceful and they gave him a lot of room, and were friendly with him. Suddenly he just attacked them and tried to shoot them. Can’t trust these big black boxers
Aruji-Sama also i saw a video of black parents teaching their child to shoot and kill police officers. That’s so sick, and the reason why cops can’t trust even kids
@@deprae5788 your leaving out a detail he asked if the cops could call him a Uber and he could park his car and leave the keys the cops insisted on aresting him instead and that is what escalated things. I personally think that if you steal a cops weapon and run off with it and then point it at a cop don't be surprised if the cops shoots you even if it's a Taser. Maybe I'm grasping straws here but I think in the moment the cop saw a man pointing what looks like a gun and shot him in response without thinking. Obviously the cop needs to be punished but this is far from the Sam as the George Floyd case.
Defending??
It's absolutely ridiculous these officers were charged with anything.
It comes as no surprise that the mayor’s haircut is a KAREN haircut
Lol
Goddammit, Karens ruining everything
oof
It's a Karen wig.
Atlanta Mayors are like Chicago Mayors the city has a bad track record of corrupt mayors and the one who allowed the Braves to leave and turned Turner Field into a football field I am still bitter about that.
If all eyes are on this case and it is handled with such haphazardness, imagine how they handle all other cases
Remember when crying mothers on television convinced politicians to make drunk driving the single most dangerous and criminal act imaginable?
Peperidge Farm remembers...
I've had 2 DUI's. From certain perspectives, a DUI is one of the worst charges you can get, at least for someone like me who is white. Each DUI costs about 15k in my state/county. And you dont even have to be "drunk", just above the limit. Here I'll explain the financial aspect of just a 1st DUI offense:
$3000 decent lawyer
$2000 for a mandatory alcohol program for half a year (differs by state)
$2000 for an ignition interlock for your car for half a year
$1500 fines and court fees for your DUI charge
$5000 for a private drug abuse clinic (most lawyers recommend you sign up to a drug rehab program prior your trial so that later you can tell the judge "look I am treating my alcoholism")
$1000 for probation (in my jurisdiction, you actually have to pay for being on probation)
5-10 days of jail for 1st offence
Hundreds of hours spent on commute to drug rehab centers every other day, etc
DUI's are indeed very, very serious in this country. Such convictions carry a large financial burden and limit your ability to live for about 1 year. But I am white, not sure if blacks face similar harsh repercussions
"This is America" has a whole new meaning now.
No
Nah it pretty much had the same meaning.
This law enforcement officer is the sacrificial lamb of the BLM movement.
God bless the police for not only protecting us but putting up with all this BS.
He didn't kick him, he was just kicking the taser he previously held.
He also did CPR on Brooks.
I didn’t see it on the video but it makes sense. That’s probably why they haven’t released the video yet because it proves them wrong...
@@Andy-wk7ub videos out, go dig
@@Andy-wk7ub If the video proved them right that they kicked a taser way the video would already have been released the fact that it hasn't been released probably shows the officer doing exactly that kicking the suspect while hes down
Guys, don't use logic on the internet...
So it’s OKAY for him to drive under the influence and possibly kill someone or multiple people, and it’s OKAY for him to fight the police and run, and it’s OKAY for him to still a police officer’s taser and shoot it at him. But it’s a freaking CRIME for the police officer to do his job and save others in the city who could be at a possible threat????
Not by killing the man.. You gotta hold your police to hire standards...
