In most states in the U.S. (including Georgia), you are guilty of DWI if you are in control of a motor vehicle. This includes being in the vehicle in any way with the keys, whether you are asleep, whether it is parked, and whether or not you had any intention of actually driving. Despite the name "driving under the influence," actual driving is not an element of the offense.

Yeah. It is a bullshit law too. I get that it's a slippery slope to "they could just turn on the car and drive drunk," but it is also just a way to arrest people for being drunk outside of a bar or house, even if they aren't being classically "publicly drunk" and being disruptive.

You go to a bar, you are too far from home to call a cab, and the law leaves you no good choices. To me, sleep in the car for 4 hours til sober should be a valid, responsible choice, But it's not, and if the bar is closed, there are no 24 hour coffee shops, cabs aren't running or would cost $100 to take home, you pretty much just have to stay in the street. Where you will still get arrested for public drunkenness.

There were absolutely times when I was in college when I drove home drunk because taking the chance of not getting caught was better than the 100% chance of getting arrested for sleeping it off in my car. Now that I'm older, if I meet friends out and I drove myself there, I just don't drink. Which I guess is a victory for the morality component of the law? I am convinced the law exists to mistly discourage drinking by moralists and to allow cops more ways to collar people.

It worries me that there could be a time where I go out, have a few drinks, and end up stranded, For the most part, I am in a financially successful point of life where if I had to stumble into a hotel and pay $200 or pay an exhorbident rate for a cab to go 30 miles home it would be more an annoyance than anything else, but a lot of people aren't in that position.

For this guy, I bet he was too drunk to drive, maybe overtired as well, and knew he'd get a DUI for sleeping it off, and it would fuck up his life. He probably figured, "well I'll go to Wendy's, get some food and a large coke full of caffiene and I can make it home." Then he fell asleep and his worst fears were coming true. He tried to talk his way out of it, but you could also see the cop was 100% going to arrest him and was just trying over and over to get him to confess to being drunk. Then he panics and just has his nigga moment where he loses all reason and thinks running is his best option.

Not much else the cops could have done, but I can see it from the mob's side a bit--he hadn't hurt anyone, he offered to walk home, but they were bound and determined to arrest him. Would he have just walked back in 10 min and got back in the car and killed someone? Maybe. Would he have walked to his sisters but not have learned his lesson and drove drunk next week and hit a school bus? Possibly. But do you really think in the annals of policing, especially in small towns back in the 50s-70s, cops just didn't give the drunk a ride home or let them walk it off? There was a time police were more concerned with preventing immediate harm than getting more arrests. I get it if your brother was killed by a drunk driver or you're a member of MADD that you believe in zero tolerance. Certainly the lower and lower BAC tolerance laws go in this direction. But I also see where the anger towards police interactions comes from (at least up to the point where he grabbed the taser).
 
If that is how the fine scholars of peaceful protesting want to play then next time don't chimpout when someone from your community goes for a jog in another area they don't belong like white redneck rural america or an italian suburb. And they never come back alive, even the body is never find. And they ask the residents, and those residents will say, they didn't hear shit, didn't see shit and didn't do shit.
 
Do you see this shit? This is being portrayed some poor Black man getting shot for sleeping.
Can't wait to see the day when the history books will tell that WW2 was about whether killing Jews was ethical or not.
 
A couple of weeks ago I fucking hated the police. Niggers were happy to enforce the Karen's gay lockdown laws, arresting people for playing in the park and going to the beach. Cunts. Now I'm actually having sympathy for them.

I have sympathy for neither the nigger commies nor the police, i just happen to hate the police less in this current situation.
 
Need to eradicate the right-wing and libertarians first. They've done more damage to any possible pushback against SJWs than any leftist could have dreamed of doing.
you are dumb
what actually happens on the ground is pretty much irrelevant to the situation at this point because of the sheer amount of spinning the media does
nigs shoot someone? memory holed, nobody ever hears of it
nazis shoot someone? front page news for two months straight
nazis dont shoot anyone? front page full of "nefarious white supremacist agitators linked to arson and rioting in minneapolis" for two months straight

what anybody does or does not do does not matter at all to the narrative. the narrative will ALWAYS be "white man bad" no matter what.
 
The conclusion I hope most of you have reached, the one I reached by age 10, is blacks want to do whatever they want, whenever they want, without consequences. And you have to pay them to exist. Nothing matters more than their feelings. And they want your lives to be as shitty as theirs.

So Black Privilege? Zero personal responsibility. It's all of societies fault, especially the White man. I am Japanese, if I tried to pull half the excuses Black make my parents would beat me to death and then commit Seppuku.

But...but...Chinese Exclusion Act. Immigrants from Asia were they better than average Americans due to strict criteria.

SHUT THE FUCK UP...

Japan and Korea were bombed to shit by the "evil White man." They were basically 3rd world shit holes at the end of the conflicts.

Where are they today?

They are global economic powers. They have a seat at the G20. Do these countries behave like Blacks today, always blaming other.

No...heck my parents believed Japan deserved to get nuked twice in WWII.
 
Tasers are deadly and should be second only to a gun as a last resort. The fact that cops use them a first resort is troubling.
People should also be troubled by how self-defense against tasers is not Ok for civilians but Ok for cops.
I wouldn't say that they used the taser as a first resort. They talked to him for 20 minutes, everything was proceeding kind of calmly, and they only used the taser when they were wrestling with him on the ground while he was resisting arrest.

Your point with self-defense is kind of silly. They didn't start attacking him with a taser while he was walking down the street minding his own business, they did when he was caught committing a DUI and then resisted arrest, and he was fighting with them. You can defend yourself if someone attacks you with a taser, you can't commit crimes and expect police to laugh it off and let you go.
What was the alternative you suggest here? Just be "damn, he really does not want to be arrested, better leave the guy alone"?
 
Same person probably decried the brutal police every time there's a story of someone getting killed by getting tasered due to pre-existing health conditions or that it's "too harsh" to taser people.

The only proper response that Trump can give:

That or:

(LOL imagine being in a world where the Dow dropping 12 points as opposed to 1200 was a front page headline?)
 
Give that bus driver a bonus.
He'll probably get fired. Not that his transit union won't try to cover his ass but they usually back off in cases higher than "the passenger was 100% in the wrong" and half the time they'll just -- pardon the pun -- throw the driver under the bus anyway.

Real life example: Bicyclist pulls up alongside bus, in bike lane, decides bus is too close (it was in its own legal lane), hits the door with his fist, loses his balance, falls over, and gets hospitalized. Who's at fault? The driver, apparently!
 
2. The point of a taser is to incapacitate. And it fires multiple times. Even with two cops on him, one having just unloaded his OWN taser, dude can turn around, PAP ZAP, and he's got two incapacitated cops. Now you have a drunk dude, already belligerent and agitated, with two guns.
The cartridges for a tazer are single use. You only get one shot, then have to replace the cartridge. If you've got the prongs in someone you can give them multiple 5 second rides. Without a cartridge a Tazer can give a contact drive stun, but that's mostly just painful. You're going to have a real hard incapacitating someone with it.

The fact is, once the dude fired and missed with the Tazer, he was no longer a threat from a distance. But you'd have to have a cool head to recognize that once you've got the adrenaline flowing.

Edit: Apparently, my experience is outdated, and there are now multiple shot tazers. And' I'm going to continue to willfully misspell it just because.

Hopefully i'm not double posting here, but have you ever rode the lightning of a cop taser? Shit hurts waaaay more than a normal taser you can buy at the store. Dry stuns from those things will definitely subdue you.
 
Holy fuck, I am turning into an old cranky fucker because I don't want my hard earned taxes to go to bailing out these hands off mayors.

Remember most of these people are part of the generation where everyone gets a trophy. They have not had to deal with people telling them 'no'. I blame the stupid parents.

Where are they today?

They are global economic powers.

They also had a lot of money and initiatives given to them by the U.S. African-Americans had Reconstruction, but that was prematurely ended.

Taser justifies deadly force -> But they used the taser on him first = retarded logic

Isn't a taser non-lethal? Isn't he just a random drunk guy by himself? This was uncalled for.
This isn't like a duel, where the criminal picks their weapon of choice and the police are limited to the same. They employ a reasonable level of force that keeps themselves and the public safe, while also being minimally harmful to the person being subdued. In this case, when the guy was resisting while unarmed, they tried to wrestle him to the ground, which was proportionate. Then the cop chased the guy as he ran away with the taser. Only after he tried to tase the cop did the cop shoot him, as at that point he demonstrated the intent and ability to seriously fuck the cop up (tasers aren't a first resort for a reason).

The fact is, once the dude fired and missed with the Tazer, he was no longer a threat from a distance. But you'd have to have a cool head to recognize that once you've got the adrenaline flowing.

Multi-shot tasers have existed for over a decade... I wouldn't be surprised if they were standard issue for LEOs now, although I don't know specifically what model these cops had.
 
>mpl man gets killed by mpl police
>mpl residents have a chimpout
>mpl mayor orders the police to stand down and let the rioters do as they please
>now mpl mayor wants the rest of the country to pay the bills for all of this
i hope trump has enough balls left to just tell this clown to fuck off and deal with the mess he made himself

They make 2 shot tasers.


Whether that was one or not, I don't know.

But regardless, once he shot it at the cop, the cops training kicked in and the fatal shots were fired, which is exactly how that training is meant to work.

Dude made himself a potentially lethal threat (yes, attempting to incapacitating someone is one of the situations where lethal force is justified as a response) and there was no pulling back at that point, happened too quick.
