This is too funny. People protesting and rioting for months last year an this stuff still happens anyway as I warned everyone it would. Nobody can change the world as much as they want to
And it amazes me that they never protest when a dozen people in Chicago get shot in one weekend, which is almost typical for that city.
They only protest or riot when ever there is a rare controversial incident involving a white police officer. The police officer has to be white, otherwise they won't protest or riot.
The riots and protests are entirely racially motivated.

The left love rioting and looting so sad to say, they are enjoying seeing the destruction of the looting and burning and killing of small businesses. This is how they are. I honestly believe looters are just looking for any excuse to rob and burn. It's as if they get a pass.
Dems, does this bring back the memories of all last summer? Y'all seemed to have conveniently forgotten.

I know plenty of people who have been stopped with warrants and unpaid tickets and half the time they don't even get another citation. I also know people who have been arrested without incident.
Both sides had the opportunity for this encounter to end differently. IMO traffic citations for anything that does not present an immediate danger are a waste of time. Who cares if you drive 45 in a 35 zone. Give the inattentive person on their cell phone a ticket every time though, that **** is dangerous.
Why was it unnecessary to tase him. He was fighting and attempted to flee. Tasing seems perfectly reasonable to me.
Maybe he was in possession of illegal substances, or he had done something illegal that the police would detect once he was searched and / or arrested?
That's possible. In fact, it's always possible in any police encounter with the public. And the cops know it very well.
Fact remains that the police were fully justified in pulling him over. Expired tags are still an offense, though one of the smaller ones. The police know that the car may be stolen and not even reported yet, which is why they jump on it. And they also know that most such cars are NOT stolen... but they never know up front.
Then they find the kid has an outstanding warrant. They are fully justified in cuffing him and bringing him in, and towing his car.
Then the kid tries to get back in the car despite the cops telling him not to. It's reasonable to assume he's trying to flee, and they can't allow that, especially in light of the possibility he might have committed some other crime they haven't heard about yet. So they are justified in stopping him by force, such as by tasing him.
Everything fairly low-level by then, with reasonable (and non-lethal) responses by the police every step of the way.
And then this officer, even while yelling "Taser taser taser", grabs the wrong weapon and quickly fires. That's where things went totally off the rails.
Reasonable to think that it was an "honest mistake" by the cop.
I watched the video. The officer thought she legitimately had a taser. In the heat of the moment anything is possible. Again he resisted arrest and tried to flee. The reaction is to blame the cop for his death. However the truth of the matter as in 99% of the cases these perps fight the cops.
Right like amber guyger thought it was the right apartment. Nah she just needs to do a better job.

No doubt. I wouldn't want her to be my partner. With that being said I believe it was a unintentional act. I also put the blame squarely on the perp. He caused that situation.
