Erm...his criminal ways is what separates him into "not a normal person" category, not his race.
I for one would be just as glad he is dead had he been white, brown, female, elderly, my brother or whatever. I hate criminals of any race/gender or age, especially those of the violent type and am happy when one is removed from "normal people"'s company.
Did you see the 5 white "faces of meth" in the news this week who attacked a black pastor on his own property? Shoot em all, I wish they had gone the way of Rayshaud.
Would you want a violent criminal for a next door neighbor, or as your daughter's boyfriend?
Erm..
The way this country operates - hard to tell the difference.
I only know what I saw, the way the whole "Justice system" in America is set.
That is when you are poor, you are a step away from prison.
And Blacks are mostly poor.
However, let good Lord sort it all out for you, I think I've said all I wanted, so I am done here.
P.S. I am a woman and I don't have a daughter, I have a son.
It was his girl-friend who got violent actually once, but police was about to jump to her defense automatically - they were not particularly interested who was right and who was wrong.
I find it amazing that gullible misinformed people donate to these criminals (Like Floyd and Brooks) as if they were some kind of hero. Why not donate to someone with cancer or a mom who's husband was killed on a job site and they had 5 kids? Why the love for these criminals?
Then why did you donate to that murderer George Zimmerman?
What was actually charged and how was it resolved. Still sounds to me like a plea bargain.
It was a plea deal to a variety of charges Simple family battery, cruelty to children, false imprisonment, obstructing an officer, interfering with custody.

I am so damn sick of the "send him home and arrest him later" bull.
When he was getting arrested, he assaulted the cops, stole a weapon, ran and fired the weapon at them.
What in the world makes you people think that if the cops show up to his house to arrest him he's going to act any differently? And it could've been FAR worse in that situation ... he could've had hostages, he could've had a a stash of weapons, he could've had a shootout with the police with his kids caught in the crossfire.
WTF is wrong with you people?
It reminds me of when my kids were very young and they'd naively ask why there are bad guys and then with wide-eyes ask, 'Why doesn't someone tell them to be kind?' or 'If I see a bad guy, I'm just gonna run away.'
It's cute when they're four - but these are damn adults writing as though they've lived in a basement all their lives. Are they really this foolish or are they being willfully stubborn in sticking to their airy fairy make believe stories about how this would have played out if only the cops had (fill in the blank).
I can think of no other crime where people would be coming up with ridiculous statements like,'Why didn't they just talk to him?' and 'Why didn't they just let him go and follow him?' He broke the damn law and put lives in danger - you don't think he would have done that in the end anyway?
And these folks vote???!!!!!!!!!!!

What does any of that have to do with him being asleep in his car at a drive-through, albeit drunk. Dylan Roof gets a hamburger after murdering nine people in cold blood at a Charleston church, but Brooks gets killed. Why couldn't they have escorted him home?
Do you understand how the law works? You cannot drive intoxicated. He put lives at risk when he decided to get behind the wheel and drive to Wendy's drunk. The police officers initially were very patient with him for over forty minutes. This situation escalated because of Rayshard, he could have complied, been arrested, but no he chose to resist an arrest, fight two officers, steal one of their tasers and then point it at the officer. Stop defending this guy.

Rayshard Brooks was no angel. He was on probation for 4 crimes including cruelty to children and faced going back to prison if charged with a DUI. He blew a 0.108 and resisted when police tried to cuff him. This is the man who was drunk and passed out in the Wendy's drive thru.
Interesting what you find when you dig deeper
Rayshard's past charges were: False Imprisonment
Single Battery
Family Battery
Felony Cruelty
Cruelty to Children
That's fine -say he was a terrible person -but the arresting cops can't be the judge, jury and executioner.. we all have a right to have our day in court.
