    There were two cops there. They knew the guy didn't have a weapon on him. Tasers can be lethal (below) BUT the weapon is not a lethal weapon in GA or probably any other state. Firing a shot in the air should have been the go to - you hear a shot going off while a cop tells you to freeze? Chances are you'll stop in your tracks, drunk or not


    "But some are using a weapon that has potential to kill: the Taser. When those encounters have turned fatal, black people make up a disproportionate share of those who die, according to a Reuters analysis.

    Reuters documented 1,081 cases through the end of 2018 in which people died after being shocked by police with a Taser, the vast majority of them after 2000. At least 32% of those who died were black, and at least 29% were white. African-Americans make up 14% of the U.S. population, and non-Hispanic whites 60%."

    You are starting to sound like Biden, aka and idiot. Cops only fire warning shots in the air in the movies. In reality, bullets come down. People catch bullets on new years every year in highly populated, dense cities.

    If the guy hits the cop wit the taser then takes his service weapon, then what?

    Don't be an idiot dude. Go ahead, defund the police. That will start a whole new industry. Private police forces. I will gladly kick in my share, save $500 a year to have 911 enabled on my phone. You don't have to pay for it, but when you try and dial 911 and it doesn't work, you will change your mind real quick. Police and fire respond to everything, not just criminal calls. They go on medical calls, etc. I have never had a violent encounter with a cop. Where some aholes with attitudes, yes, but I just kept it moving, didn't give them an excuse. These indignant hood rats dont want anyone telling them what they can do. They get aggressive and then when aggression is used on them, they dont like it.

      7500 blacks killed by other blacks on average per year.

      End of story. Look in the mirror, sort out your demons and get your own house in order before you start burning the country down
      Yes it's just that easy to erase decades of poverty, few opportunities for jobs or quality education. People turn to crime when they don't see ways out. Getting out of that mess takes time. Police reform can happen much, much faster.

      Whites should be just as worried about police shootings since they make up nearly half the shootings. Most people killed by cops have a weapon, but over 300 a year don't Of those, unarmed blacks are 3x more likely to be shot by cops than whites. The good news is shootings of unarmed people is going down. That's an improvement. But 1000 deaths a year by cops? Are we really ok with that?

      "Since 2015, 70 percent of the 5,400 people fatally shot by police were armed with a knife or a gun, according to The Post’s database. More than 3,000 of them had guns.

      White people, who account for 60 percent of the American population, made up 45 percent of those shot and killed by police. Black people make up 13 percent of the population but account for 23 percent of those shot and killed by police. Hispanic people, who account for about 18 percent of the population, make up 16 percent of the people killed. For 9 percent of people, The Post was unable to determine their race."

        Nope sorry ...murder is murder and not nearly enough cops being punished for their criming. No demons needed to get that much correct.

        Besides it doesn’t matter what you think. NYC and other locales making major changes in what policing will look like so thanks so much for your concern trolling but I really don’t think it’s going to matter anymore than when things changes Re: LGBT right almost by acclimation.

        So that sound you here is yourself becoming more irrelevant every day
