I have asked this before, but no one has yet showed where the cop stated he knew the taser was no longer able to function.
Taser only useless if it hit the vest though.
The second officer with his attorney stated tonight after he posted bond his foot was on Brooks arm after he was down to keep him from reaching for the taser which I assume he dropped when he was shot.
Looking like the kick from the officer who shot him was likely to kick the taser away from Brooks.
Seems like neither cop trusted the taser was no longer a danger.
run him down how...with a car??(that would go over soooo well,)...by putting a knee on him to restrain him??(that has worked wonders recently).. by tackling him into the pavement breaking his face and neck?? (yep that's the winner)
The normal way on foot. If he is too much get more help.
There is a reference that the taser involved had two sets of darts but that both had been fired. An empty taser would not be a potentially fatal weapon. And in general the use of Tasers is considered non lethal.
A police baton can also be fatal as can be a policeman's fist or knee. Shall all those be declared as fatal weapons?
And the thing shoots two darts which are also electrodes. But some such devices have electrodes for contact usage. Those are not darts.
I don't think this is true. Most are middle class.
This is what I see from the get go, if I google Blacks and poverty rates.
"More than one in every five of the 42.8 million Americans who identify as black live below the poverty line, compared to less than one in every 10 white Americans."
When you almost inevitably learn of the criminal record and nefarious past of the men involved in these police killings, it is not an indication that these men deserved to be killed by the police but it is an indication that they were not singled out because they were black. They were men whose lifestyles led to frequent negative contact with law enforcement.
Because they are in no way relevant to his murder at the hands of two rogue cops.
(I absolutely believe that the overwhelming majority of cops are good cops, and that they are heroes. I do not conflate them with these two criminals who murdered Brooks.)
What did the second officer do wrong (other than getting tazed and suffering a concussion?)

Neither of those officers did anything wrong by shooting the dude.
