Seems to me that when you resist law enforcement officers bad things happen. Maybe people need to think before they attempt to flee the police? You aren't going to get too far and may end up dead. Wake up people!

Because they are human beings.
People sometimes loose it and do things that do not seem rational. People become frightened and do things spur the moment. People are not perfect auto robots or androids.
This includes police officers. Despite their training and sometimes years of experience, sometimes even cops have to make split second decisions. Sometimes even the best well intentioned cops might make a mistake. But unlike most people, a wrong decision by a police officer can get someone killed or injured.
That is why in each case, we should try to look at the evidence before making instant decisions of guilty or innocent. I think that this is something the SJW seem to have forgotten.
He was fleeing in the commission of a felony. You think you can resist arrest, punch officers, and disarm them while being arrested for a DUI?
First time offense for a DUI in Georgia is a misdemeanor. Mr. Brooks would’ve made bond and been home the next day, clearly he elected the suicide by cop route.
They could’ve shot him while he was beating them to a pulp. They were nice enough to let him take their taser, run, and point the taser back at them.
Just a reminder that the cops got Dylan Roof a hamburger after his arrest.

....the horror.
Had he attacked the police the way Rayshard Brooks did however, they'd have shot him.
They might have gotten Brooks a hamburger as well if he hadn't attacked them, they were at Wendy's after all, and they were super cool with him up until his attack.
that guy would have been home with his family within a few hours of the arrest if he would have complied with the officers. Police are not going to let you fight with them, grab their weapons and use them against them, that's crazy, they have guns. They won't let you get the advantage, you might shoot and kill them, so just comply and file a complaint later.
The suspect fired the tazer gun at the officer, as seen in the video footage. Tazer guns can immobilize people. What if the officer had been tazzed and the suspect stole the officer's gun while he was immobilized? He could have easily killed the officer. If the suspect was white there would be no protests and the officer would not have been fired.
The cops sees the suspect hold up , point and fire something at him as he is trying to chase down a felony suspect. Even if it was a toy gun made of wood the cop had to make a quick life or death decision to defend himself. It is a justified shooting. This whole thing is ANOTHER example of a suspect not willing to obey simple instructions from authorised police and then escalating it into a violent physical fight as the police then need to arrest the suspect.
If I'm being the most generous to those protesting, once the man fired the taser and missed, he was unarmed. So technically he was shot while unarmed and fleeing.
That said, when you get shot at, it's only natural to return fire.
In spite of this logic shared by most people we know that the bias news media will play it up to feed the fire of racial unrest. Why? Because the media thinks that the massive racial issues will cause people to indirectly blame Trump....
The nonsense lame excuses the lawyers and the left are coming up with to defend this thug.
His stupid actions got him killed. Period. It was a justified shooting.
Now, according to the left, drunk drivers are not allowed to be arrested, instead call a family member or Uber. It’s ok to resist arrest, assault a police offer, grab their weapon and fire it at them; just as long your back is facing them.
