    except the man took the taser from the cop so the cop knew damn well what weapon he had.

    Even before he half-turned and tried to fire, you could see it was a taser weapon in his hand as it was bright yellow, no actual gun is coloured like this and the chasing police could have fired to injure, allowing them to arrest the man.

    I have a quip that you hadn’t considered.

    A helpful tip to all police officers, if you are chasing a black man who just overpowered you and your partner, stole your taser (a non-lethal weapon) making you look like a bitch, don’t shoot him in the back while he’s fleeing the scene. follow protocol and wait for backup for your safety and the public's, or you’ll lose your job, destroy your career in law enforcement, and possibly spend years in prison for murder.

    There is a video with the initial struggle on this site, if it shows up in your country, neither officer would have known if it was his own weapon he was carrying or the taser later worked out to be one he stole off an officer

    And the half second the officer has to react as Brooks raises his arm to fire head on isn't enough time to work out what weapon it is

    So the Policement were blind too, firstly one of the policemen have a taser stolen from them, and according to you, he didn't notice it was missing, then they shoot and kill the man notwithstanding the 'Yellow' taser was clearly visible in his hand even before he raised it.

    yep and this is how Left French Canadian politicians deal with native people. The left wing government has continually tried to keep native people down.

    In August, 2017, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announcing that the Department of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada was being dismantled and would be replaced with two new departments: Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs, and Indigenous Services. it was clear, I always knew it would come to pass, the left here has always looked to divert attention away from us, grand stand on new immigrants Special rights and their rights over everyone else and the special rights of French speaking people. The Assembly of First Nations and the National Women's Association of Canada, elected band councils who were previously approved of are not anymore. We were forced to elect 1 representative in the first place to have a voice in their government, To have a say in our own land. In doing this they are cutting off funding as well and selecting who they want to lead this.

    I simply don’t care about what the left government wants. I simply don’t Care what the UN dictates. I simply don’t care that the world wants to tell me that my people are immigrants. We have always said no. This is not our story, this is not our culture, I simply don’t care if black people tell me they are the one true indigenous people and life started in Africa. That is not the history of this land. That is not the traditions of my people, African culture is not mine. I do not care about history from foreign lands, all of this has shadowed my people’s history. Do not tell me what is important. Do not tell me about the history of Africa and this should be our concern. European history, what scientist hypothesize. They use to say that horses were brought here, turns out that horses originated in North America. Land bridge no longer exists, debunked, You are actually Asian, we are told. No, we are not my people say. You are not of this land, you are immigrants. No we are not. They tell us we are the invaders. No, we are not, Life originated in Africa, No it did not, Oh look, native people now have casinos and money, gee thanks for introducing gambling, are we suppose to be grateful for this? Yet are not free outside of land that was dictated we live, to make room for everyone else? everyone else is and can get to the back of the line,

    this is what the left does. Cast out shadows, stand behind minorities & French, their special rights while disregarding those that can only call this land home, We don’t need help from so called minorities people whose only interest is self serving, we don’t need the UN either to grand stand and definitely don’t need to hear the lip service from asshole trudeau whose family has been the worst thing to happen on this land and those who can only consider this home, a home whose ancestors have always been here. We don’t need to concern ourselves with what happens to others from far away lands either. Their history is not the history of this land. Don’t try to tell me what to care about. I care about my people, those I love and care about, my friends, my family. My people. I care about this land and what it is turning into, because of invaders. Trudeau says generational Canadians are privileged and should not be, well this most certainly includes my People, native people, as well as white & black people too. Although black slavery here was not a thing Here, White slavery was by white people. Black people who came here from the Underground Railroad were free from the start. Free to have land, be educated, work and prosper, and they did. Not for my people. Are we privileged? This is not about equality.

    It's clearly visible when you rewind a video a dozen times. Not from head on when you only have a half second to react, also wouldnt be clear the weapon he raised wasn't another he had on him

    Raising your arm like that would be justification enough for police to shoot in the US or any country where firearms are common

    Irrespective, don't resist arrest, don't point weapons at police. Simple

    Which proves the point: 1. The lack of proper training for the police in being taught to 'shoot to injure, not kill, 2, That the man was able to steal a taser from one of the policemen and he didn't notice it was missing, 3 That these Policemen now possibly face 'murder' charges.

    I haven't in this instance mentioned the possibility of a 'race' crime, since I don't know the race of the deceased, or the policemen chasing him, but there is also that possibility.

    So that’s your best argument …lol…

    That’s why the cop was fired, and an investigation is currently underway by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI)
    for possible charges against the officer

    Perhaps even more important the cop knew he had a taser in his hand (a non-lethal weapon) which posed no threat.

    And if the GBI clears him, he will probably settle out of court for wrongful dismissal or get reinstated

    It seems it's the cop furthest away from him that actually shoots him with a gun, the one closest has a taser.

    You would have to prove, beyond reasonable doubt, that the officer furthest away, once he saw Brooks raise his arm pointing it towards the other officer, that the one firing a gun was 100% sure it wasn't another weapon.

    I don't see how that's possible

    Or if it even matters in that particular state, and the law allows deadly force if someone points a taser at them
