Unless the cop was dabbing, that deadss looks like a foot reeling back for a kick, or recoiling off him after a heavy kick.

Execpt it makes no sense. Look where the cops right leg is in relation to the position of Brooks. It looks like is right foot and placed just behind Brook's left foot, while most of his body is already leaning forward passed him. If he was either winding up or reeling from a kick, his body position doesn't make sense for either of these.

Sorry, but it looks like a step over to me. You can even see it here in the video at around the 17-18 second mark.

What I see is someone in denial of a criminal being justifiably shot for his actions.

We get it. You are blind as a bat.

How much do you guys want to bet that he didn't actually have an assault rifle?

I'll take that bet, since the OP says exactly what he had.

White people open carrying weapons have historically received special treatment from law enforcement up to and including police protection. Modern gun control laws were passed in response to the Black Panthers protesting in the exact same way the 2A militias in VA and the open the country protests across the country protested. Only difference was the militias and open the country people do it in defense of capitalism and white supremacy.

Thats literally it. Police protect capital and are the hired guns of the ruling class and nothing else. They show up to break up and assault labor strikes and peaceful protests. They are literally class traitors. The Supreme Court decided that. Anyone trying to defend police violence and handwave this incident (Looking at you scorpion) is a braindead, racist moron.

Police found a broken down PA-224 with a loaded magazine in the lower, a loaded AK-47, a loaded 9mm handgun, a loaded Glock 9mm handgun, a loaded River Super Red Hawk revolver, and loaded magazines for each weapon except the revolver.

Is it hard being this stupid?

A fully-automatic AK-47 (Semi-auto is not an assault rifle), costs north of $20,000, requires NFA paperwork, an AK manufactured before January 1986, a $200 tax stamp, and usually a 36 month waiting period for ATF approval.

"Selective fire means the capability of a weapon to be adjusted to fire in semi-automatic, burst mode, and/or fully automatic firing mode."

Please stop embarrassing yourself. You pretty much have to close your account at this point.

An actual AK-47 is, but I'm willing to bet this was an AK patterened semi-auto rifle.

Don't drink the gun control kool aid, they use those terms like they did in WA state to justify i1639, now calling sporting rifles "Semi-auto assault rifles."

This is all semantics however. Dude was drunk in public with several firearms.

This isn't consistent with many police takes here though. So I'm only asking why that is.

Its extremely consistent with police takes here, actually.

In no part of this situation did Leko point his weapon at bystanders or officers. It clearly says he complied with the commands of the responding officers and peacefully surrendered. This is good policing, all the way. This is the way most incidents end... peacefully.

In fact, most people youll put handcuffs on as a police officer will go without a struggle. Resisting arrest is not a normal behavior, and thats why it catches some officers off guard.

People should also take into account that each officer is going to perceive things differently based on the circumstances of each incident. This guy hadnt fired at anyone, hadnt shown any hostility, and wasnt aggressive with police when they arrived. Had Leko pointed his gun at protestors in view of the police or made any attempt to raise that weapon, I have no doubt he wouldnt be here to face charges.

And it would be completely justified.

This is also in Chattanooga, TN. Each department has varying levels of training. Thats another thing some people cant seem to grasp when they lump all police together; all of these cops went to different academies, learned from different instructors, and have their training tailored toward what that specific department wants from them. Thusly, while case law regarding deadly force is the same nationally, some departments better equip their officers to handle these types of situations than others.

I was going off how military and gun enthusiast websites describe it, too - "assault rifle" with the selective full- and semi-auto firing modes. Not so knowledgeable on the different variants or what's more common nowadays.

Please don't gish gallop me attempting to defend the police's handling of white supremacist murderers vs unarmed black men. Make your point better and more concise please because I'm not reading through this garbage.

Who did Leko murder? Because thats who were talking about here.

Youre applying falsehoods to a story in order to bolster a bullshit point. Disingenuous arguments like the ones youre trying to make are why there cant be any discourse here.

Dylann Roof murdered a church full of black people and was seen fleeing the scene in a vehicle with the guns he just used to murder them. He was promptly taken to Burger King.

White supremacist who murdered a bunch of black people spotted fleeing the scene with the weapons he just used to murder them = nonlethal threat and safe to society

Man with multiple guns and weapons on a rooftop staring at protesters he disagrees with while also drunk = nonlethal threat and safe to society

Unarmed drunk black man who is running in a parking lot = lethal threat and a danger to society

This is very much on topic. Either take the mask off or shut the fuck up.

Dude is comparing guys surrendering peacefully to police to a guy who violently resisted arrest and fired a weapon at police. I mean...damn.

I was tagged and asked about this specific incident. Im not rehashing every white person taken into custody with you so that you can prove a point you couldnt make with this case.

Its the same bullshit argument in every topic. Bring up Roof all you want. It changes zero about what happened here. You just dont have a leg to stand on in this case, because everything was handled as it should have been, so youve moved onto handwaving and whataboutism.

Your bad faith arguments are just you regurgitating other peoples talking points. Aim that word vomit somewhere else.

I know that the cops had knowledge that the taser had only 2 shots as you need to be trained first before you can be equipped with a taser. I know the cops saw it shoot twice. So I think the cops were qualified to assess that Brooks was, in fact, not a danger to anybody.

A coroner was qualified to say that Brooks was shot in the back twice after performing an autopsy.

You are qualified to perform maximum shitposting.

Just keep telling yourself that, buddy. Dude made a grave mistake and cops responded appropriately. If he had thrown the taser down and wasnt shooting it, Id say you had an argument. But, thats not what happened and you havent got shit...

You can see Brooks discharge it twice. Once when he disarms the cop, and again while running away

"you still havent got shit!!!!!"

Also like the dude was running away and got shot in the back. If someone killed a guy running off their property armed or not, they would 100% be arrested and charged for killing them. Police need to be held to the same exact standard the average person is, they should never be considered above the law.

But police apologist will never understand this.
