They probably originally wanted to put a neck hold on him to restrain him but they probably thought better of it post Floyd and the ultimate result is the piece of trash is dead.

So much of investigating all aspects of the incident first before demanding people get fired.

‘Does the guy keep running or take the officers gun and start shooting? I don’t know?’

I don’t either, but I suspect a trained cop would know...but again, I get why they would react as they did...

‘It’s a lethal weapon if it allows the suspect to walk up to the stunned cop and take his gun.’

no one who investigates this situation is going to conclude that your scenario is the least bit possible...there was a second cop there with drawn weapon; is he going to allow the guy to walk up to the stunned cop and take his gun...?

Maybe they will take over down town Hotlanta shortly and turn the Mercedes Dome into their new hang out.

Certainly President Trump understands the importance of and to make the most of prime time television. Recent events have provided another opportunity for him to address the nation during prime time.

In order to get the media to provide coverage and provide it from start to finish, the even will need to be a subject they can not resist to cover.

The subject can be an announcement on the use of the military and national guard during the current rioting. The potential for points against Trump will be too much for them not to cover.

But instead of allowing them to score points president Trump should go on offensive driving three major points across to the American public.

First as the prime time event starts you will see President trump and three pastors. President Trump will be kneeling on both knees. You will have a priest a rabbi and a pastor. One of which should be African American. They will all have hands on the President praying over him silently.

The President will then stand up and recite the pledge of allegiance before the American flag.

He will then follow with a short address containing three points to cover. Keeping the press from breaking away coverage is important so the speech must be short and concise.

The first point will be for every event an American flag is raised or honored a short period of prayer and reflection be given asking God for reconciliation and a deeper understanding of what divides our country before the flag is displayed.

The second point will be about funds (in the billions) that will be allocated toward training for police departments throughout the United States on procedures for handling situations such as George Floyd.

The third and final would be notification to the American people of the President’s plan to federalize the national guard if a peaceful solution to domestic terrorist activity can not be found.

He should then end and leave the room.

Yep. Good shoot all day and twice on Sunday.

Elections have consequences, Atlanta. Enjoy your “just us.” (And they wonder why the remaining white communities in Fulton County want to get the hell out pronto?)

How about Joe Friday after he has a sex change operation, a race change operation, and becomes a lesbian. He’s paid his dues for all these years, and he’s still just a sergeant. He’s also dead, like many Atlanta voters.

Obviously all chiefs should be of indigenous descent.

I had a friend who transferred from a line job in kalifornia to a supervisory position in TN. A couple years later he came home to visit and told me that, as a rule, when a black worker wasn't doing the job, and my friend would call him out, the black worker threatened with a lawsuit for discrimination.

The whole charade is a disgusting con and has been going on ever since President Lyndon Johnson confided, "I'll have those niggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years."

For the survival of civilization, citizens living within the city’s jurisdiction must be given the authority to directly elect the chief of police, which is true with county sheriffs. Law enforcement can not operate in the political milieu of highly charged political city mayors. The chief and his force need independence to root out city corruption, enforce laws against the citizens impartially and, in the final analysis be answerable directly to the people he/she serves.

Look at all the times blacks have attacked some fast food worker, caused a brawl at Chuck E Cheese, etc. Apparently rules don’t apply to some groups, because oppression and stuff.

This video shows the guy fired the taser at the police while he was running, it looks like the taser hit the one cop... starting at 28:32

“The Mayor describes a justified shooting, but then fires everyone involved.”

If they really want to defund the police they won't have to. Just keep doing this and the cops are just going to quit.

They are not going to show the video to anybody if they can help it. Everyone seeing the video (except for the willfully blind) will understand that this was justified.
