"What was he doing wrong?"

We clearly do. What you’re saying is, If I shoot at you and miss but then throw down my gun and run away you have no right to shoot me. Which is just a mind-blowing standpoint. It means we should discard all previous actions and just go second by second which is just not how the world works.
Of course if you throw down your ***taser*** and run away I do not have the right to shoot you in the back. What the hell? Is this your argument. Youre a brain dead boomer. I can immediatly tell youre an old white piece of shit from like 3 posts.
 
you do realize a taser is not a non-lethal method, rather a less-lethal method. It can and does still kill. But sweeping that aside the cop should have continued to get his ass kicked and let the guy flee because shooting is wrong? Come on man. The minute he reached for any weapon he loses his right to cry victim.
Wait...we gonna start talking about a tazer is a deadly weapon? In that case, cops are screwed.

Lol personal attacks and ad Homs because I proved your fallacies in the argument. Actually, I’m 30 with my masters degree from UCF and I work in an industry that promotes low income housing complexes for seniors and minorities.

but yeah, total “white piece of shit”

come back to the adult table when you can have a logical discussion without being emotional.

That is exactly how it should work. Innocent until proven guilty.
Cops aren't judge, jury, and executioner. They are just police.

No you're not 30. Youre 50+ at least. No one except very old people have opinions as bad as yours.

You just tried to make a point that i could shoot someone in the back if they fired a taser at me, missed, threw the taser and ran away. Thats a boomer take.
 
Is the punishment for that mistake death?
We're supposed to believe all mistakes against cops gives a cop the justification to do anything, including killing the stupid SOB.
  • Resisting arrest in any way, shape, or form? You betcha! It's my universal 'I can now do whatever the hell I want' card.
  • Running away? Bam, gotcha in the back, sucka!
  • Getting in a cop's face? Boy, if you can't show me some respect, say hello to my little taser friend!
  • Been drinking or have drugs in your system? Ha, your impaired judgement means I don't have to show any in response!

1) I was born in 1990, many of the posters here know me personally.

2) That was your point that he was “unarmed” despite seconds before being armed and firing a taser at someone. I was showing you how ridiculous your stance was.

3) You have no grounds to call anyone’s opinion bad when you come on and start calling people “White Pieces of Shit”

So, like I said, when you want to be an adult and have some logical discussions devoid of feelings and emotions, I’m game. When you want to Ad Hom, Move Goalposts and commit all the logical fallacies, you can remain at the kids table with your personal attacks.

I understand that you’re struggling to grasp that this guy wasn’t killed because he was running away but your racism is showing again

Stop this nonsense. Dude was no threat to the police or community at the moment he was shot. He was running away. Had he tried to taser the cop? Yes. Should the cop have known that once a taser is used it is no longer a threat? Yes.

Actually, you could make a case that someone who drives impaired and then reaches for an officers weapon while impaired before discharging It at said officer is in fact a threat to the community and said officers.
 
And they just set the Wendy’s Where this happened on fire. That’s a logical reaction.

Better snuff him out before he hurts someone.
 
Wasnt killed because he was running away but was killed while running away.

Considering you’re too stupid to see the situation as more than a racist cop shooting a harmless, fleeing suspect and have no problem making racist statements with no remorse after being called out I’m just going to go ahead and ignore you like most of the board does anyway. Do better, there’s no place for racism in 2020

No one ignore me twat. Its ok to point out someones whiteness when they are pontificating on an American experience they havent had.

"WhY dOnT tHeY jUsT lIsTeN tO cOpS." Coming from a white person discounts that white and black people have different experiences when interacting with police.

So if a dude is mentally impaired due to drugs, alcohol, or whatever, a police officer doesn't have show any judgement whatsoever? He's fine to shoot the guy in the back because....he's a 'threat to the community'??!?

By the way, in this particular case, the cops were called because he was passed out in his car in a drive-thru restaurant line and holding up traffic.
 
All the white people that have all the answers here seem convinced that it was ok to shoot him in the back. While the black people protesting arent as convinced. If you havent had the experience of interacting with police as a black man you should just take their word for it and not try to explain to them what their problem is.

You make it sound like they shot him for being asleep at the wheel. When they attempted to handcuff him if he just does NOTHING then he is arrested and currently alive. He’s the one that decided to punch the cops, steal and use a weapon on them.
 
Attempted Assault with a weapon on anyone is a bad thing.
How did this situation escalate from a guy passed out in his car to an attempted assault?

I'm sure it had absolutely nothing to do with the way these cops approached the guy. I have no doubt you had a kid higher than a f*king kite approached by a couple of cops who were going to show him what's what.

And they sure did.

When he was killed he was no threat. The taser had been fired. He was running away. The cop needs to show restraint instead of blapping him in the back.
 
How bad is it? Whats the punishment for conviction?

Some weapons charges in Georgia specifically apply to stun guns and Tasers. For instance, it’s a felony if you have a stun gun or Taser while you are committing or trying to commit certain crimes that are themselves felonies, including:

  • crimes against another person (like assault and battery or rape)
  • illegal entry into, or theft from, a building or vehicle, or
  • any crime involving illegal drugs.
Also, the penalties are steeper for hijacking a motor vehicle if you used force or intimidation while in possession of a stun gun or Taser. (Ga. Code §§ 16-5-44.1, 6-11-106 (2019).)

Using a stun gun or Taser might also carry felony charges under other statutes that don’t specifically mention these electrical weapons. For instance, it’s considered aggravated assault when the crime is carried out with a deadly weapon or any device that causes or is likely to cause serious bodily injury when used offensively.

Now GA in 7 types of Felonies require 10 years without parole, however, could be more depending on Priors. That being said, He stole It and was illegally in possession of It before discharging at an officer so with the DUI, Resisting with Violence, Discharge of a weapon with intent to do bodily harm, he would get my guess at least 25 without any priors.
 
I love how everyone ignores the fact he shot a taser at someone. So since he missed, the shooting is bad. If he hit the cop would the shooting be okay with that backwards logic? Or what had to happen? Did he have to stun the cop then grab the gun? It's hilarious the mental gymnastics here to make It seem like this kid did nothing wrong. At least acknowledge he intended to stun gun a cop.
 
In Georgia, felony penalties range from one year in prison to the death penalty, with the specific sentencing ranges varying for individual offenses. Examples of felony sentencing ranges in Georgia include:

  • Aggravated assault – One to 20 years in prison (with minimum sentences of three and five years for assaults against the elderly and peace officers, respectively) (C.G.A. § 16-5-21).
  • Aggravated battery – One to 20 years in prison (with added fines and minimum sentences of three and five years for battery committed against the elderly and peace officers, respectively) (C.G.A. § 16-5-24).
 
Now GA in 7 types of Felonies require 10 years without parole...Resisting with Violence, Discharge of a weapon with intent to do bodily harm, he would get my guess at least 25 without any priors.
Where's the death sentence one?

Incorrect. If he hits the cop then we all wait for the social worker to show up and we can talk about restorative justice. Remember, it’s about how the cops hurt his feelings and that’s why he punched them and stole/deployed a weapon

Just going to keep a taser on me, tase someone who bothers me. Then drop It. That way I can be unarmed and use my get out of jail card because I was unarmed and It was a single use taser.

Na, you'll go to jail for your crime. You wont be blasted by cops... want to know why? I think you can guess.

Using your example. If you did that and cops did show up and murder you, would you feel that was justified?
