after he was shot, one officer kicked him, the other stood on his shoulders. i dont know to what extent, and i dont think we've seen footage to that effect, but its the word of the DA
There hasn't been any miscarriage of anything. There will be a trial.
The justice (or not) happens after.

And presumably struck the officer and inhibited his ability to defend himself.
The word of the DA? So, he's just making sh** up quite likely.
If they woke him up and he immediately started fighting etc then I would be sympathetic. Possibly blacked out.
But 30+ minutes. He was conscious and making calculated decision. If he had managed to grab the officiers guns he would have used it.
Almost 3 weeks ago: "I CAN'T BREATHE!"
Now: "No, literally, I can't breathe."
And neither can grandma.
How can a weapon with no ammo strike anyone let alone "inhibit" someone from defending themselves?
DA said it was based on video evidence and witness testimony
that would ultimately have to be presented at trial
just because i'm skeptical that there will be a conviction doesnt mean the charges are being brought in bad faith. i'm not privy to all the information the prosecution has
if you sent 2 cops to check out an unarmed guy who is drunk and asleep in his car, and it ends up with somebody being shot and killed, i'm going to say that the officers probably messed up somewhere
"Cops should be trained like MMA fighters and remain cool during a fight"
or how about he just runs off, you call for backup, tell them which way he's running as you give chase. you already have all his ID, know where he lives. he's unarmed and not about to go kill somebody.
the shooting didnt happen "during a fight" it happened while the guy was running away
I have a DUI. My parents watched me get thrown around a bit but I was blacked out and being a smart ass
My parents have stated before that in America you simply follow every order. They were worried in another situation I could have been killed.
So I get it.
I like the theory that these cops were just embarrassed they got manhandled by a drunk and would have gotten away if not for getting shot up.
Trying someone for a capital crime that has not been committed is a miscarriage of justice.
Taking someone to trial for political reasons is a miscarriage of justice.
No ammo? You can see a discharge in the video.
he's en led to a preliminary hearing, where a judge hears the prosecution's case and evidence and determines if there is sufficient evidence to have a jury hear the case
I think that is fair given the current climate
It's not relevant to whether murder occurred in either event.
im inclined to agree, to the extent that it doesnt change, imo, the officer's state of mind at the moment of the shooting. however, if the charges are based on this conduct, ie kicking him or standing on his shoulder as he's bleeding out and fighting for his life, when they are obligated by policy to provide medical aid... thats a different story
still think its hard to know without having access to the evidence right now
i mean yeah, i would teach my kids to follow officers orders as well. nobody is arguing that this guy was a good guy and behaved like a saint. that doesnt mean cops are justified in using excessive force when somebody doesnt comply, either.
yep, cold blooded, intentional murder.
of course the forum dunce doesn’t think a taser can “inhibit” someone from defending themselves
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard and his use of a nonprofit to funnel at least $140,000 in city of Atlanta funds to supplement his salary.
"At the request of the Attorney General’s Office, the GBI is conducting a criminal investigation into allegations against DA Paul Howard," GBI spokeswoman Nelly Miles told GPB News.
The allegations stem from reporting by The Atlanta Journal-Cons ution and Channel 2 Action News about discrepancies between financial disclosures Howard filed with the state and tax filings submitted to the IRS by the nonprofit he heads as CEO.
Howard, who has been the DA since 1997, is also facing allegations of sexual abuse and a state ethics complaint, the newspaper reported.
A criminal probe of the prosecutor who heads Georgia’s largest and busiest district attorney’s office is highly unusual. But so was Howard’s decision to use People Partnering for Progress as a conduit to pad his salary by at least $170,000 from 2014 through 2017, according to tax records and the nonprofit’s own do ents.
Howard’s annual salary, paid by the state and supplemented by the county, is roughly $175,000.

When that somebody assaults an officer and then proceeds to take said officer’s taser and attempts to tase him the force was justified. You know this.
