“Pointing it at the cops”

I thought tasers had to be placed on a person to shock them.

Well...I guess from now on, it’s: “Tazer first...ask questions later”.

There’s no guarantee the officer even realized it was their tazer. If they were trying to arrest him and he runs, a cop could reasonably believe he had a weapon on him and pointing it back over his shoulder was him prepping an attack.

But the community has one narrative when cops kill a black man. That being the cop wanted to murder them from the start.

Exactly. The insanity has got to stop. We’re drowning in it.

There is a truly fundamental lack of training and proper procedure to be able to subdue bad guys. If the bad guy gets to the officers weapon,then the situation is inevitable. To be fair,most departments don’t allow any type of subdue tactic.

New video published on Gateway Pundit is pretty clear view of the fight.

This was south ATL, before I-20 and the 75/85 merge. They prolly had roaches in the chili, so good riddance. If they launch a protest on the Grady Curve Monday morning, commuters won’t even notice the delays in traffic. Atlanta was godawful when I worked up there.

They were all probably sharing their orgazmic joy together as a SJW team.

Not even close. By the time you posted this the interstate was already cleared. The Wendy’s is a stand alone won’t lead to massive fires

Why post from XiNN??? They have an agenda

the cops have to relearn how to be a cop, a "peace officier".....let the guy run...they have his car....they can get him the next day....

like Waco, where the federales could have arrested the leader almost any day of the week while he was in town but instead they managed to burn to death a whole bunch of children....

cops not being very smart.....

Not trying to be dramatic but I didn’t see a scuffle, I saw a full out fight with several blows being landed by someone that was not to be arrested. This has become the new normal, resist police, fight them when they try to arrest you.

This isn’t going to end well for our society.

The police acted stupidly.

Thanks Obama.
