He fought the law and the law won:

//

he got out of his car at the deputy's request and complied with the officer's commands, until learning that he was under arrest.

The deputy tasered Mr Cure, who then assaulted the deputy, the GBI added, before the officer used the Taser again, along with a baton.

The deputy then pulled out his gun and shot Mr Cure as he "still did not comply", the GBI said.//

Very easy to say cop over reated from your comfy armchair.

It says he attacked the officer who tasered him twice and used a baton, finally shooting him. What should the officer have done when being attacked?

Why do you think the copper was racist?

[youngmafbog]

 226 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty in the United States last year, the year before it was 458.

This is why their Police are edgy, they like to go home to their families like I expect you wanted to after a days work.

Were these coppers racist Canary?

As always, we should wait for full facts before jumping to conclusions. 

But some of us are a little keyboard-happy.

He had a criminal record and he became violent with the police.  He took his chances.  He lost.

But surely he didn't need to actually shoot him dead! A couple of shots to the thigh would have incapacitated him suffiently for the cuffs to be applied.

are you serious ?

[pastafreak]

Except for his fists...where does it say he was armed?

Were the police defending themselves from deadly weapons?

 

[Deskdiary]

I remain intrigued as to why Canary feels this is racist. For all we know the copper is black.

If we assume the copper was white (Canary clearly has) it appears to people with Canary's mindset that white on black is automatically racist, which is a daft stance to take.

[JimF]

"where does it say he was armed?"

Nowhere.

[ToraToraTora]

he was tazered twice and was still attacking the cop? Perhaps the cop should have run away and logged into AB and asked the handwringers what to do next.

[ToraToraTora]

Strange that the only mention of the guy's skin colour comes from canary. More lefty racism?

[pastafreak]

TTT...why shoot to kill?  Was his force as dangerous as what they had?

Very easy to say cop over reacted from your comfy armchair.

yeah agreed I mean blimey, think what wd happen if he was unwise enough to shout Allahu Akbar ! blow his head off with an RPG and then go around to his momma's tenement and nuke it

[ToraToraTora]

I don't know, that's how they are trained, I have often wondered why myself.

[Peter Pedant]

white or black? the copper that is - victim is pretty obviously coloured/black/afro caribbean

well,

The most common ethnicity at Atlanta Police Department is White (53%). 27% of Atlanta Police Department employees are Black or African American.

chances are evens - or.... chances of 3 in 4 that the shooter was not coloured

[bazwillrun]

Any proof from the OP that this Police Officer is a racist and the the shot person was innocent  ?...still waiting...has to be one of the most ridiculous and disgraceful post titles i've ever seen on here...im surprised its allowed to stand.

[piggynose]

17.49 was not coloured? Which one? Youve got several to choose from! Just saying.
