I'm aware of a case where a person was tased in a spine, and as a result was paralysed for his entire life. Was that an isolated case? If not, what's wrong with police shooting a person who resisted arrest, stole a taser, and attempted to use it against a law enforcement officer?

He wasn't attacking them with a taser, he was running away. He was shot in the back.

>stole a taser
How the fuck did a police man allow his weapon to be stolen in the 1st place? As >>11805507 said he didn't even use it to attack. He just tried to run away, but if he was violent he could have stolen the gun and shot the officer. How could that cop be so incompetent to allow a weapon to just be stolen?

>what's wrong with police shooting a person who resisted arrest
People responding to non-violent problems shouldn't even be armed.
Imagine if there was gun wielding store clerks enforcing the 15 item limit at the express check out line? If you got caught with more than 15 and resist arrest they can just shoot you.

Why the fuck would a store clerk feel the need to shoot you for having more than 15 items? Because they're fucking armed, so by default they're suppose to use those arms to solve their problems. The very act of having a weapon is the problem. It's like that old saying, if the only tool you have in your toolbox is a hammer, every problem you see begins to look like a nail. Or in this case, if the only tool in your toolbox is a gun, then every human being begins to look like a violent criminal.

Dude was serving a seven year sentence for beating up his children. He was out on early release due to COVID19 and it took him all of a couple of months to drive around drunk. Dude was violent and a danger to society.

There isn't anything wrong with this. Put yourself in the cops situation. If you get tasered the criminal could kill you and you have no way of defending yourself.

Why did he run away? He was driving while drunk also, he could have killed innocent civilians.

1) that's all untrue

3) the officer who killed him is the violent maniac. He has an extensive record of complaints and uses of force.

Also guys let's keep it /sci/ - can someone be paralysed for life if shot with a taser in a wrong spot? If yes, the killing was justified.

>> No.11805781

>>11805694
the reaction of the policeman was justified by Brooks' behaviour alone, he had to be neutralized, and later he died for his injuries. So no, I don't denounce his death at all. You are defending a criminal that proved to be violent until the very end, and the video proves it.

The function of the police is to create order and peace. It's that plain and simple. Not complicated. All their actions should be to further this purpose alone. To create order and peace.

So when a cop murders a man, in what can only be described as an unnecessary death, and the immediate reaction is an angry mom burns down the Wendy's where it occurs. Ask yourself, were the actions of the police creating order and peace? What purpose did the murder of this man serve? Was it to create order and peace? This is why police are fundamentally broken. This is the crux of defund the police. They're broken, and don't serve the job they were designed to do. This is why we need something different.

remember that the policeman acted according to the law, Brooks didn't. The policeman was thrown under a bus and the criminal was made a martyr.
>the immediate reaction is an angry mom burns down the Wendy's where it occurs. Ask yourself, were the actions of the police creating order and peace?
so he had to think about the reaction of the angry mob beforehand? What about the Wendy's that got burned down? What did they do to deserve this? Did they have to think about the angry mob as well?
>This is the crux of defund the police. They're broken, and don't serve the job they were designed to do. This is why we need something different.
what you are describing is a pipedream recipe for disaster. Defunding and criminalizing the police is an incentive to violent behaviour and will lead to mob rule. In fact, it should be the opposite: better education and more training in dealing with these violent situations in order to avoid deaths.

Except he was killed after throwing the weapon away. He wasn't a threat at that point. He was just trying to escape. Supreme court has ruled running from the cops is not evidence of guilt. And it could be argued that the action of Brooks was in self defense as well. With all the recent killings it's likely he felt threatened by the police and feared for his safety. Tragically his instincts were spot on the money, as they did end up killing him in the end.

>>11805924
>so he had to think about the reaction of the angry mob beforehand?
No. Individual officers shouldn't be forced to make this sort of judgement call or depth of decision making. The way it should work is when there's a call for a violent criminal, you send a badge with a gun. When there's some guy napping in the car, you send someone who's unarmed. Simply being in possession of a weapon is too much of a temptation to use for every problem. These officers were well trained, and very recently trained in deescalation tactics. The training didn't prevent them from resorting to violence to solve this dispute. The training doesn't work because the idea of suppressing that instinct to draw a gun and fire in the moment where you don't have enough time to think is fundamentally flawed.

And please don't try to tell me he was violently napping in his car. There was no violence men with guns showed up and escalated the situation.

how would they have known that he didn't have a gun?

>And please don't try to tell me he was violently napping in his car.
I never said that. If he had complied instead of reacting aggressively and posing a threat to them and possibly other citizens, this would have not happened.

When I said better education I meant both ways. Policemen need to have cool heads but people must comply for it to be peace and order. If you get arrested you don't suddenly make a run for it, and certainly you don't do it with a policeman's stolen weapon you fire back.
