I would think that a fairly natural reaction when getting jolted with electricity! I suppose I need to read more about this cause on surface sure sounds like a guy passed out at a Wendy’s would be fairly easy to apprehend without the struggle and subsequent shooting! I have a dumb ass friend who has gotten a number of charges that resulted from being passed out at a gas pump or parking lot, police have never had to use any force when they come up on him and he asleep at the wheel!Comment -

Unfortunately it doesn’t tho, it could just as easily say they treat a white guy in a totally different fashion than they do a black in same situation. But like I said I need to read way more about it before passing judgement one way or the other.
Also should be noted everyone reacts differently when being startled awake from a sleep!! I remember one time when I was locked up this old white guard tried waking me, I got no clue wtf happened but by time I was conscious enough to realize what was going on he was backed up several feat and looked pretty shook. I couldn’t start apologizing fast enough! Lol. I was like whatever I did sir I’m incredibly sorry, ya’ll know I’m a bit throwed off and it even worse when it comes to my sleep!!! Lol. Luckily he accepted and everything was good but what if I happened to be black tho? Would that old White guard from Mississippi have treated me as fairly? I think a good bet not, might have cracked me on the head with his stick then that would have made me go more nuts, next thing you know I’m shot! I think we all gotta look at some these things threw the eyes of others, is that so much to ask?Comment -
Guy was fighting with the officer and takes his taser yet people looking for racial reasons to justify this fools actions.Comment -
The whole world is afraid the cops are abusing black people. So let me go commit a crime let me drive drunk and when I see a cop I’m gonna fight with him. That makes no sense at all, he’s just really stupid.
Wake up people!
Do you think cops are abusing you but you’re going to continue committing crimes and continue to fight you get what you deserve that’s just idioticComment -
In full disclosure I haven’t read the article or kept up with this case
But if I’ve learned anything from all the bad publicity cops have received over the last few hears its that they Will write anything in their reports except what really happened. I also have seen this first hand during the time I worked as a paramedic.
All my point is, what they say doesn’t carry much weight and thats their own fault. Going forward what is in the police report will matter less and less in courtrooms. They lost that trust and rightfully so.Comment -
Any more so than it apparent from most your post you always lookin to justify the officers actions?
It be nice when we hopefully get to a place where everyone can look at these things from a case by case basis and understand A person or situation shouldn't instantly be lumped in with all the others! there are good and bad on both sides but until we get to a place ppl can trust others to view it that way it will constantly be this way. I don’t like a world where a incredibly guilty OJ walks simply because of other wrongs done to his entire race, and nobody should!Comment -
Ya, and historically thats been the case. Many a lives been ruined because of it too.
How many times now have we seen video of what happened and the report was totally bogus? Way too many to countComment -
believing police
they shot a drunk guy in the back and murdered him
you telling me that the police couldn't take down some drunk who passed out in the drive through
get a new job then
seriously what was this guy gonna do running away with a stun gun???Comment -
Clearly they unqualified if they can’t apprehend a guy passed out in his fukkin car with minimal struggle!Comment -
The lesson here is if you are under the influence and drive do not pull over in a Wendy's parking lot and try to escape arrest.Comment -
Calm down, everyone.
After it's revealed that the low IQ cop was in fear for his life, this will all be forgotten.Comment -
Cops are trained to shoot to eliminate the threat.. Cops could have thought he had a gun.. Who knows?
I agree though if the dude was unarmed and running away a couple of leg shots would have done the trick..
The problem again is we can't see all that happen from start to finish in that phone vid.. I did see the dude fighting with both police on the ground, reaching for the cops gun at one point. The guy was clearly resisting and super aggressive and over powering both cops.. He was a big dude..
All he had to do is give up and not fight the cops and he'd be alive today.. Same with George Floyd.. Go peacefully to jail and work it out in the courts later. Very simple to comply with police orders and not fight and resist!!!Comment -
You are both wrong. What happens when this drunk awakens and THEN DRIVES AWAY,
STILL DRUNK AS HELL?
No threat to anyone? Call MADD you fools. Talk to them...
Comment -
None of us know the whole story, but there is one variation that worries me--if the dude was indeed running away and the cops shot him in the back... yeah, that's a big problem.Comment -
Looks like the guy was running towards innocent folks in a car in the drive thru also. Possibly why the cops felt the urge to take him down thenComment
