Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Charges Against Officer in Atlanta Shooting

He has a long track record of being a dumb fugk POS.

Nothing would surprise.

We get all of these slowed down, slow motion videos with lots of time to question what each of the actors are doing, but does anyone know in real time, how long it took for the thug to escape the grasp of the cops and for the cop to shot him ?

I'm guessing it went to fighting for their lives, to ending the threat, took under 5 seconds !

And what does the SCOTUS say about that factor?

Yep saw that and also that last year there was an incident where a white guy took a taser from Hispanic officer, Hispanic officer kills white dude and was deemed justified as it should be in both cases

State of mind ? Active,, and viable threat ? Adrenalin rush ?

Hell the SCOTUS, says its legal to kill babies at birth, so why could they find fault, in the back shooting this thug !

It says hindsight is not a factor when reviewing these type of cases and that everything will be viewed through the perspective of the officer at that moment.

So you guy that think the cops should not have shot this thug, do you think they should have just let him escape into the night?

Its not like he's citizen of the week, maybe pick him up at work in the morning? Whats the chances of him carjacking a ride outta there?

Or maybe just run the drunken bastard down, and go hand to hand with him, not that that worked out so good for them the last time...

Just wonder what other good options that they had besides shooting him ?

Rockinbar thinks so.

But he has an advanced degree and worked for nine whole years so he must know what he's talking about.

In that case, the cop walks and Atlanta burns, sounds like a win - win to me !

It is nothing but sheer greed, that keeps good people, in these Sh~thole cities, surrounded by people with the culture, values and IQ of lemmings !

The world would be better if one of his victims would have killed him years ago.

They need to file charges against that POS DA

Something like a bad DUI arrest, seems more appropriate !

Yes. And he should not have been sweet-talked for 40 minutes as if they were buddies and going to let him drive away. Like Ethan said, drag his ass out and beat him, then haul him in, put him back in the pen where he should have been all along.... Blah Blah..

In reference to above comment, escape into the night? Nobody has actually said, oh, wait someone might have.....
He should be shot, hung, whatever. Just at the time he was shot, sprinting away at 20 feet, he was no longer a threat to the officer that shot him. We already know that folks disagree with that, my ignorant opinion. LOL. OK, BFD again. BFD BFD and BFD.

Good gawd they elected that DA there! What a chithole.

RB is a damned GoodGuy. You? Hmm, hard to say sometimes but probably.....

Another informed opinion.

I never said he wasn't.

Yah, maybe they could have washed his feet and gave him a BJ too.

Keep telling yourself that Travis.

That's a great retort.

You can be ignorant and without sound judgement and still be a good person.
