Media Portrays Rayshard Brooks As Loving Father Despite Criminal Charges Of Cruelty To Children, Battery On Family Member, False Imprisonment
In the coming days many will try to equate the killing of George Floyd to Rayshard Brooks, but you shouldn’t fall for it. George Floyd did not put any police in danger and begged for his life. Rayshard Brooks drove drunk, resisted arrest, assaulted two cops, stole a taser, used that taser on a cop, and has a long and extensive criminal history. He’s been charged with false imprisonment, battery on a family member, cruelty to children, theft, receiving stolen property, interference with custody, obstruction of an officer, and a handful of other misunderstandings.
Yet this is how WCVB chose to portray him today.
Rayshard Brooks’ 8-year-old daughter had her birthday dress on Saturday morning waiting for her dad to come pick her up and take her skating to celebrate her birthday, family attorneys say. Her dad never came home. He was shot and killed by an Atlanta police officer at a Wendy’s parking lot in Atlanta Friday night. Since then, the officer who shot Brooks was terminated and a second officer was placed on administrative leave. The Atlanta police chief stepped down from her position. Brooks, 27, has three daughters who are 1, 2 and 8 years old, according to the attorneys. He also has a 13-year-old stepson, they said.
That’s it. That’s their entire story. Loving father gets killed by cop who has been fired (because Georgia has laws that limit union rights) thus preventing him from going to his 8 year old daughter’s birthday party. Or as he called her, “Daddy’s lil gangster.”
The same guy who was charged with battery on a family member and cruelty to children was a loving father. The media doesn’t mention any of that easily accessible information because they enjoy and profit from race wars, especially in an election year. Their portrayal of him as a loving father once again proves my theory that society doesn’t care about the welfare of children, and that they view racism as a far worse crime than child abuse.
Rayshard Brooks was not a good father or a good person. Good people don’t drive drunk, assault cops, steal tasers, batter family members, or get charged with cruelty to children. Good fathers who have birthday parties for their daughters the next day don’t go out and get drunk, drive around, and pass out in a Wendy’s drive through. Yet he will be memorialized by the media while the police officer who justifiably shot him will be vilified, threatened, and potentially charged by a district attorney looking to make a name for themselves. These are the kind of people black lives matter exists to defend. These are the only black lives they care about.

Um whoever wrote this needs to remove “ These are the kind of people black lives matter exists to defend. These are the only black lives they care about.” because that is not fucking true. Whoever wrote this article has no business writing on behalf of what BLM stands for and who they defend. Even if the author is a Black person, you have no right to speak on behalf of the millions of people who support BLM. Fuck you. I’ve never been so aggravated at a news piece in my life. Don’t be like the major news networks that assume they know what people stand for and who they’re trying to protect. You don’t and they don’t either. Fuck outta here.
What are you anonymous if you are so passionate about what you believe in.
Truth hurts
BLM run by white rich people. You are all sheep. Stop being brainwashed by the media and universities. Look at the history of these cities and tell me who runs them. For decades. At some point black people will wake up and see they are pawns in the rich Democrats game. People like Al Sharpton are no different than the African slave merchants who sold slaves to the Europeans.
Well I’m BLACK and these are they people BLM wanna take up for and not the thousands of innocent US killed everyday by US I saw just today a black girl being thrown in a fucking dumpster by black men and another video where last night a black man hit a girl in her face with a skateboard because she didn’t wanna holla and where are BLM 🤔SOMEWHERE GETTING PAID BY THEIR NAZI JEWISH DADDY AND HAMAS so miss me with that BULLSHIT that ain’t helping us they’re FUCKING US ask yourself why BLM giving illegal Mexicans 55 mill and not the black businesses that got burned down during these DUMB ASS FUCKING RIOTS
BLM doesn’t seem to care about any black life lost other than ones by the police, that’s a problem.
Absolute failure to realize anything here. Do you understand how he got himself killed and that he was not a community role model. Do you get fucking hammered the night before your 8 year olds big day
Truth hurts
BLM? What does it stand for read their Manifesto. It reads like a crazy liberal anarchists social Marxist diatribe. The fact is black males commit more crimes than any other group. I want the police to protect me from all criminals regardless of race. And you have such a small mind you can’t deal with facts please just erase this I don’t want to see it it’s just not true I can’t believe it. this guy isn’t the angel that the media is presenting. Got drunk, fell asleep in his car, resisting arrest, assaulted and beat the crap out of cops and stole their weapon, shot that weapon back at the cop and everyone surprised he got shot? It was a career criminal and not a good dude.
-False imprisonment
-Child Cruelty
-Battery family violance
-Theft receiving stolen property
-Fraud by deception
Yes he can it’s freedom of speech, and has validity on top of it. BLM has proven time and again that they funnel funds into the Democratic Party through ActBlue, they really only make a big deal before election cycles, and loses all credibility for the inability to police themselves and stop the riots and looters, which make them look as if they condone them!
Lol…
Umm……When was the last time anyone has heard a peep out of Black Lives Matter when there wasn’t a white cop involved. South Chicago saw it’s highest murder rate in 60 years over the Memorial Day weekend and not a single riot out of BLM, hmm…………
Some black lives matter. Others don’t contribute to a political narrative and are not worthy of the some BLM’s attention.
Totally agree…that statement was unfair, untruthful and ugly. No wonder Facebook censors them!!
lmao
STFU!
So you are anonymous. A coward that can’t use your own name. Hide in the shadows.
I feel like burning some black homes and businesses. Hopefully the cops will all quit and let America do something about these violent subhumans…
That’s like saying “not all Nazis are bad! You have no right to speak on behalf of thousands of soldiers just doing what they’re told because a few people at the top like Hitler and Himmler have done a few crappy things.” If you’re gonna stand under a banner like BLM, who are an incorporated business and professional Marxists, then yeah, you’ve opened yourself up to that criticism. You can be anti-racist and not BLM, and it’s clear you can be racist and BLM with all those thugs mugging non-blacks on the street during the riots. Now go find some Play-Doh and calm down.
Typical response from a sack of shut liberal. Go riot alongside your favorite domestic terror organization.
You discuss what a bad man Rayshard was and post arrest records from 7 years ago. WHERE are current records??? People cannot change in that length of time?
He was let out of jail because of covid.
It’s difficult to commit more crimes while you’re in jail.
He was in prison for 7 years for beating his one year old child. He got out on parole because of the Corona virus.
current records are HE WAS IN JAIL… RELEASED ONLY DUE TO COVID CONCERNS.
Smh…this is so sad..he had a record..that was the past…how about Dylan..the dude that shot and killed those Black people in the church …cops took him to Burger King..MURDERER to get a hamburger….people get on my nerves…
No one is a saint….he didn’t deserve to get shot 3 times in the back..running away.
He changed so much in seven years that he drove drunk, resisted arrest, assaulted a cop, stole a police officer’s weapon an tried to use said weapon on him. I guess…
Perhaps he was in prison during the 7 years. Agreed people can change but this is not the best example of someone changing.
Obviously Mr Brooks didn’t change at all in 7 years according to his Rapsheet… driving intoxicated and then assaulting 2 police officers, resisiting arrest. And then stealing a taser gun and firing it at the police officer (2 Felonies) isn’t what I would think how a reformed or changed person would act! (Oh and supposedly he was to take his young daughter out the next day rollerskating for her birthday???)
None of his juvenile records were released, either, Susan. Like the arrest for shooting someone when he was 14. Police charged him as an adult. But, Paul Howard wouldn’t prosecute. Little Rayshard, with his gun, at age 14. But, you’re right. People can change a lot in 13 years, Susan. Genius Susan, goes right to the head of the class. She’s got it all figured out.
Exactly! His past or current records are irrelevant. He did his time. Police have protocols just like every other job, they are not above the law. Kicking him when he was bleeding out. Standing on his shoulder. No CPR attempts for over 2 mins. This isnt the wild wild west.
I guess being a “changed man” involves drunk driving, passing out DRUNK in a drive through, assaulting 2 officers , stealing weapon and using it. Hmmmm sounds like a changed man to me. Drunk drivers kill thousands of innocent people. But he was just “peacefully sleeping”. Oooookkkkk
Driving drunk and passing out in a Wendy’s drive thru, lying to police, resisting arrest, fighting with police and giving one of the officers a concussion, tasering an officer and running from police. I don’t think much has changed.
He didn’t have current charges because he was in prison. Genius.
current records dui resisting arrest stealing a cops taser assaulting a police officer
Why do you defend him! He was driving drunk when arrested!
he drove drunk, resisted arrest, fought a cop, stole a cops weapon, used it on said cop. doesn’t sound like a changed man.
People can change over the years not over the night sooo shut your face and move the hell on let alone you white people yeah I said it can go lay down and go to sleep
He changed. Now he’s just driving so drunk he passed out behind the wheel. He’s doing much better these days.
He is inocnoent you racest fool. so know you execute for being Black. You make me want to spit.
You need to get an english grammar book. Why do you think people will believe you are able to make an educated decision when you can’t make an educated sentence?
Good, spit on yourself- that’s what you’re worth
“inocnoent” and “racest” You stupid idiot, you can’t even spell racist or innocent. U dumb fuck.
Let’s learn proper grammar before you come here with all that bullshit
You may want to learn how to spell before you start posting your opinion.
Fucking idiot.
He is not innocent. Did he deserve to die the way he did. Absolutely not! But being a thief and child abuser is a far cry from innocent. You can’t tell me this guy is some hero!
Then go spit, bitch.
Why aren’t you providing a source for your lookup so people can fact check you? It looks like the last incident was 4 years ago… This actually paints a picture of a person who would be particularly weary of police after having turned his life around to where he had much more to lose…
It’s on the ga doc website. Cruelty to children, false imprisonment, battery, theft of stolen property, criminal interference with government property, obstruction of an officer… also Clayton county jail website. It’s all public information. He had been released but was on felony probation. Likely the reason he resisted arrest on Friday. If he was arrested he probably would have had to finish out his sentence.
He was literally let out of prison because of covid.
Kind of hard to commit more crimes when you’re in jail. He got furloughed out for corona virus.
Turned around so much he was driving drunk and passed out in the drive thru.. assaulted cops..stole a taser..shot it at a cop… you’re right he should be weary of cops because his life has been turned around driving drunk..
That was sarcasm… if he was so innocent he would have no reason to be weary… BUT he wasnt he was driving drunk putting other lives at risk
https://lcapps.co.lucas.oh.us/onlinedockets/Docket.aspx?STYPE=1&PAR=CR201903217-000&STARTDATE=01%2F01%2F1900&ENDDATE=01%2F01%2F2100&PARTY=0&LCKEY=O8NlY8DUPG0ZtgQ8nh0PZA%3D%3D&fbclid=IwAR1Lf8RgUgBA7R629hCKe0AfhtnT0yB8dk09U0OkU7DqTvwcAkJYx2QHvWE
He was a fugitive from Georgia when he went to live with his previously unknown father in Toledo.
He was in prison and was out on release because of coronavirus. That’s why he has no recent charges. Hard to have a new arrest until you get released. Look up how long he was out before this incident 😮
He has been in prison for those 4 years for the child cruelty. He was released among others from the spread of COVID-19 in prisons. Not to mention if he were alive after this, he would have a list of NEW charges. They would range from battery towards a police officer, DUI, obstructing a police officer, resisting arrest, and whatever charge he would get for firing the taser. Be honest with yourself, a guy who turned his life around would deal with the arrest the right way by disputing it in court. He has more leverage in this time than he has ever had before to prove the officer was unjust.
Did you miss the part about him driving super drunk around town and was so wasted he parked in a Wendy’s drive-thru? He put EVERYONE’s life in danger. How many kids have been killed by these drunks? He wasn’t a good dude at all. Had he killed your kid you would be saying something much different. Glad these cops intercepted him before that happened.
“Weary of police?” You mean on probation for crimes committed, and would have potentially been locked back up for DUI’s, so he tried to run? After all, a good baby daddy does get drunk and pass out in a drive through, the day before “he celebrates his daughter’s, aka lil gangsta, birthday!
So just because people make mistakes in their lives they deserve to get blasted in the back 3 times by a 9mm firearm? Is that what you’r saying?
How snakey are you? You wanna skip the bit where he hit and wrestled officers before trying to taze one of them?
I’ve had too many patients killed by drunk drivers Or left quadriplegic. Not even realizing this person was convicted for child abuse which I do not tolerate under any circumstance no matter who it is
Personally I’d say a .45, bigger holes
YES! He fought the cops and shot them with a fucking taser! They were well justified for shooting him!
Yeah that’s what happened here
He was Passed Out From Drinking And Driving. PASSED OUT IN A DRIVE THROUGH. He was shot only twice. A Good Father Wouldn’t Get Drunk Before His Childs Birthday Party.
Yes
No not because of past mistakes but because he was passed out drunk in a drive through and assaulted 2 police officers stole the officers weapon and then used it on the officer. Yea thats why
No, they are saying Rayshard has a history of violence in general and with officers. It’s relevant not only because it is important to prove that the shooting was somewhat justified, but in proving to the public that is isn’t as simple as an innocent man being shot by a terrible officer. Rayshard is just as guilty as the officer for putting the officers in a position where violence was necessary. Imagine being punched and tased and being told you can’t even defend yourself. The officer went about it the correct way afterwards by immediately calling medical and performing CPR on Rayshard himself. If Rayshard wouldn’t have not only resisted but PUNCHED and TASED then none of this would have taken place.
That is not what the article said. Way to try to push your agenda of thought though. He was shot in the back and therefore the cop is absolutely wrong! However Rayshard isn’t a hero!!!! My dad is a hero. A good man with values. Wake up America!
Stupid fuck yes every time you attack an officer their is a high percentage you will not be alive shortly their after. Brooks shot the taser at the officer while running and that is when you can expect lead in the back EVERY DAMN TIME. Blacks will never learn. Or it’s all suicide by cop? Like Palestinians.
Well researched article but the last two sentences were really off-putting. Generalized comments against the Black Lives Matter movement makes your entire article politicized in the same way you think news outlets shouldn’t politicize the situation, except your comments cant towards the far-right with their racist reflection. Do you honestly think that Black Lives Matter only care about POC with criminal records? Do you have no empathy for the people in our society who are constantly repressed and dismissed and treated as ‘Others’ in order to dehumanize and condone violence against them? Have you seen the repression and violence against news outlets covering the mass protests across the United States? Do you think that when the government is finished with repressing BLM and Antifa that they’re not going to come for YOU?
If repressed means you can’t drive drunk That is the way it goes. But when you get combative and Take an officers weapon you are in trouble no matter what.
I did not even know about the child abuse and that is something I cannot stand.
Yes, most see that’s exactly what blm cares abiut. Black lives only matter when taken by a cop. From 1976-2005 94% of blacks were killed by other blacks. Where are their marches? If the protests are about bad cops, where we’re they a couple of years ago when a Minneapolis officer shot an unamed white woman? Maybe if all of these dumbasses what change they should quit their bitching, join the force and be the change that they want.
I’m angry about criminals destroying cities, ruining citizens businesses many of which cant rebuild. Nine unarmed blacks killed by police last year, while 19 unarmed whites killed by police last year. There is not systemic racism in US now. Most people are not racist, there will always be some racism on both sides If one does not follow police commands they are arrested rightly. Two exceptions, George floyd; the cop might have had a grudge there. Also treyvon Martin who was totally innocent killed by monster george Zimmerman, a liar, very upsetting crime. I am so sorry that policemen were forced to pull those criminal students out of car were fired possibly with edited body cams. Brooks a criminal, obviously. Please dont let troublemakers take over our country. They never grew up. They believe evil is good and good is evil. Dr. KING they disrespect all he stood for, the Bible, the source of all wisdom
Travin Martin attacked bus driver was violent and attacked Zimmerman
I’m white, and I bet you are, but blacks make up 13% of the US population, whites make up 79%, yet when compared to white deaths by officers, blacks equal half that total. Or 1/3 in total, it doesnt match up. Statistically speaking, there’s racist assumptions officers jump to when dealing with a black vs white citizen
100% of people don’t have run-ins with police. That’s where you’re math is wrong. Police never shoot me, because I never fight with them. I also never beat 1-year-old babies.
Treyvon Martin was no saint. He was trying to kill Zimmerman and was banging his head against the ground. There were photos taken after. Martin also had a violent history but you must have ignored all of that.
Zimmerman should not have been following him BUT Treyvon Martin was trying to end Zimmerman’s life. Self defense, court got it right.
Wow, that is some serious backward thinking there… Like, why try and use numbers in your argument if you don’t understand them? Your statement proves your own racism comments to be incorrect (to anyone who knows the population of black people in the US, that is). I hope we can start to recognise racism as a disease soon and you can get treatment! God bless.
LOL the Bible is the greatest “story” ever told!
Please watch “The Trayvon Martin hoax”. It was another media race bait. Trayvon was a 180cm thug (suspended for fighting multiple times) who attacked 170cm Zimmerman. All evidence supports this including the witness who saw Trayvon on top of Zimmerman beating him.
I dont understand? So you think that just because there wa
So you think because there are more killings of ‘unarmed white men’ it makes it okay? BLM is fighting for Police brutality to end as a whole for all races not just black. Having more white people killed by police is nothing to be proud about, and Black people make up 13% of the U.S population, even if your numbers were correct (which I doubt it is) 9 unarmed black men killed is 9 to much.
Amen brother. I think of when the people release Barabbas instead of Jesus at the Passover. They were blind as to who the real hero was. I am not comparing the police to Christ at all but I am saying that we are confusing good and evil these days and we need to be mindful of all people and just be kind. Be a good father or mother or son or daughter! Lend a hand, be cheerful, follow the Ten Commandments and prosper.
That says Ragshard Brooks not Rayshard Brooks.
It’s an alias- says so right on the photo
If you look directly under Ragshard Brooks, you will see it says Name Type: Alias.
I noticed that too q
That’s an alias he used. Says so underneath. One of many he used.
SAME THING
Why is it that states allow criminals to commit felonies over and over? They should give them 3 chances and if their too stupid to stop committing crimes they should spend the rest of their lives in prison without possibly of parole.
Yes, so true! Then the pig would already have been in jail and couldn’t have murdered Rayshard and that other pig couldn’t have murdered George… 🙁
Why in the world would Facebook and Twitter be upset with this website I would like to know?. Are you called turtle boy or tbdaily news? Never heard of these sites before.
THANKS for posting these facts about Brooks.

When I use the link I don’t find any cases.
This was excellent. Thank you for sharing the facts.
Sounds like a “good man, good daddy!” 🙄
A good reason to try and run from a duo charge, that could have gotten him legitimately locked back up!
So I’m other words he didn’t even live with his family and an all around bad guy hope your spread the word
Many men in poorer communities don’t live with their female companions. The only way to collect welfare is if you live apart and are not married. You can thank democrats for that rule which resulted in this.
And he was such a good daddy, when not arrested for abuse, that he had a fat white girlfriend, who was so brilliant, she blamed Wendy’s, and torched it!
Another “pillar of the community”, who was “a loving father” with a criminal record for child cruelty, battery on a family member, theft, etc, was shot while drunk and resisting arrest; tragic.
That’s because it’s better optics for a civil law $uit!
Thanks for dropping the truth.
Well, neither George Floyd nor Rayshard Brooks were upstanding citizens as we know the term. However , that certainly doesn’t mean either of them deserved to die. There are stark differences in the cases though. Where George did not resist, Rayshard did, George did not pose any threat to officers because he was handcuffed and unarmed, whereas Rayshard wasn’t, was punching the two officers and obtain possession of the tazer. Rayshard then fired that tazer at the officers…making him even more of a threat. I am sorry that either of theses men died, but I honestly don’t think they had anything to do with race…it was about the individuals involved.
“that certainly doesn’t mean either of them deserved to die” Do you know how many kids and women are killed each year by abusive fathers/husbands? He was arrested for beating his kids and other family members, just one punch away from being a murderer in actuality.
Yeah… because racist murderers were the individuals involved…
Any of these cops think about shooting a suspect fleeing in the legs? Te kill shots are intentional.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8431801/Rayshard-Brooks-probation-faced-going-prison-charged-DUI.html
The guy was on probation and knew he’d go back to jail if he were arrested for a DUI. Schmuck knew exactly what he was doing. If he’d just accepted his arrest and gotten some bleeding heart liberal attorney, He’d still be alive….& probably writing a book. = / I’m shedding no tears.
If you are going to fake a police report at least spell the man’s name right. I mean come on, Ragshard? At least make it convincing. Big fail on this one.
You can look it up yourself at the Georgia department of corrections.
It’s an alias name- says so right on the photo. The records are legit you can look them up on the Clayton county records site. Doesn’t really relate to the actual incident that resulted in his death, but neither do all the stories posted about him just being a good dad who missed his daughters birthday. It is kind of strange it hasn’t been mentioned anywhere, honestly.
Rayshard is an alias (AKA). Also, most people in the moment cannot spell common names let alone, let’s just call it “unusual” names. The report is accurate, not that you will believe that.
he had several alias
it says that Ragshard is an Alias you fucking idiot .
The police reports are real. You can look them up for yourself. The felony cruelty to children charge happened in 2014, when his child was just under 2 years old…disgusting…not a family man or a loving father.
You’re an idiot. It’s obviously a typo in the arrest report. All of the other numerous reports spell the name correctly. To all of the other pajama boys on here, see above. A poster has left the Clayton Cty website and you can see your poor misguided martyer’s extensive arrest record for yourself.
That’s one of about 5 listed aliases in his record.
https://www.claytoncountyga.gov/government/courts/court-case-inquiry
It is because HE used the alias Ragshard
It’s not fake. It’s part of public record. Research it, before making assumptions. “Big fail” on your part!
Name Type ALIAS
He probably spelled his own name wrong. You can search for yourself via the link provided above. The failure here is your bias.
Its called alias, brainiac. and if you knew about charges they probably pleaded them down so he wouldn’t have to go to jail AGAIN.
Rayshard Brooks frequently altered his name when asked to identify himself. He also was arrested for false impersonation. This was part of his MO, perhaps done in an attempt to obscure his growing police record.
Plus he would not of been shot if he had not resisted arrest nor caught the police nor ran from the police nor if he didn’t still the officers tazer gun and shot it towards the officers …lets really look at this …..he caused his own death ..
Luckily we have courts of law to do that… hopefully some of THEM have been exposed to some education… Pretty sure they will not rule that he murdered himself by gunshots to the back…
yes
Bootlicker.
World is a better place without him. “Stop breaking the law, jerk-off”. A child-batterer, drunk driver, thief gets no sympathy from me. This isn’t about race….it is about being an outright shit-bag and then being made out by the media to be a martyr for a cause. Sad.
People don’t want unsavory details to be discussed b/c it doesn’t fit the narrative. Can people change? Sure. However, no one who was convicted of cruelty to children deserves any pass! I can assure you that I wouldn’t be found passed out in a wendy’s drive through (under the influence) especially the day of my daughter’s birthday.
Ummmm the picture spells his name with a G. “Ragshard” Pretty sure his name is spelled with a Y, not a G. If that picture was real, I’m sure they would spell his name right…
He was charged not convicted. Big difference retard.
My husband is a cop, a damn good cop. A first responder. Who saves lives every day. That uniform is a badge of honor. Of sacrifice. Of protection.
While in that uniform, he BETTER protect himself. Even if it were ME that stole his taser and shot it at him. He’d have a right.
A good cop that fears protecting himself and his community?? That’s what we want??
Defund the police?? What if you called 911 and no one answered?
None of these African American men deserved to die…..But let’s not cover up for them….None of them were, or behaved like sweet little angels…..We can weed out bad cops without using false martyrs.
The guy has not changed. He was driving drunk, that is not what a good father or person does.
For those who are wondering regarding the source used by the author of the article as to the criminal record of Mr. Brooks, please remember that this information is public record.
I realize that a lot of people would prefer just to concentrate on the “killing of a black person by police” narrative, but turning victims into saints and martyrs by concealing or completely avoiding the facts of multiple criminal charges in their past really weakens that narrative.
I am thanking the author for the light shed on Mr.Brooks’ fairly recent past.
Please ditch the ARREST records, and put up the CONVICTION records.
Until he’s convicted, he’s INNOCENT; that’s our system.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought the moment you pull a weapon on a cop (no matter what weapon) and the cop is feared for his life, you can shoot? 🤔
Rayshard Brooks had four aliases (including Ragshard). In addition to a number of child abuse charges, he was also charged with credit card fraud.
Throughout the video he talks about his girlfriend (not his wife). Is this a loving husband?
To argue that these are old cases and maybe he is different now doesn’t make any sense. Obviously he hasn’t changed if he drove while under the influence and created a public nuisance by passing out in a Wendy’s line. He also didn’t know where he was. The video shows he thought he was about 10 miles away. What if he had passed out on a highway and killed innocent motorists? He resisted arrest, assaulted an officer, stole a taser, used the taser as a weapon.
The DA said the police officers didn’t render medical attention. Not true, they called medics right away according to a video that was released later. They are not ALLOWED to do what doctors do. It’s practicing medicine without a license. They are not doctors. They can only perform certain palliative actions (like bandages) and they can render CPR if the person is in severe distress (which they did when his pulse started to fade). There are limits to what they are permitted to do. In most instances they are supposed to wait for medics.
I think the death of George Floyd was a tragedy. I didn’t see anything on the video that he was resisting arrest. The only thing he resisted was being choked, and NO ONE deserves to have a knee on his neck for that long, ESPECIALLY if he becomes unresponsive. It was cold and on the video it looks calculated. I have nothing but sympathy for him and his family.
But, the case with Brooks is more complicated. I think this is a tragedy also, but it’s not cut-and-dry. He has a past that the police officer may have known about from the computer that was consulted in the car. He was over the legal limit. Alcohol impairs judgment. He was unwilling to admit he drove there (didn’t want a DUI charge while on parole). Also, there is no evidence yet that a police officer kicked him. None of the eye witnesses say they saw that and the still-shot that the DA displayed looks to me like someone running.
The officers couldn’t just let him “walk to his sister’s house” because he’s already lied so much and been so confused about his location that there’s no guarantee there even was a sister nearby. Police officers know from experience that many guys who say that will just walk around the block and get back in the vehicle and drive. They also couldn’t just let him run off with a taser (considered a dangerous weapon in Georgia) because they don’t know if he might use it on someone to highjack their car. Incidents like this happen every day where people talk nice and then do things to endanger others. Look at some of the car chase videos on youtube. People are unpredictable and do heinously dangerous things.
I’ve been wracking my brain, to think of ways this could have come out better, not only for him but for similar incidents in the future. Letting him walk off is not an option. He could endanger himself or someone else, or come back for the car and continue to drive impaired.
Maybe the best course would have been to phone a (sober) family member to come pick him up and take him home to sleep it off. I don’t know if that would have worked, maybe police have tried that and it didn’t work, but considering other options is better than just complaining. Anger should be used to drive positive change, not to fuel resentment.
97% of black homicide is committed by other blacks. 1% by police…of all colors. Oh yeah, the vast majority of those dead black people that the police killed were armed too. Go figure.
Let’s focus on the HUGE police problem though. That’ll fix the problem.
The bleeding hearts better be very careful what they wish for. If you thought gangbangers and thugs were already brazen…just wait until police are further neutered. Good luck when the criminals come for you.
We really don’t want to go there do we? There are a plethora of WHITE people who are so evil, cruel, and just all around bad people. The difference is they get cut breaks OR maybe the cops went to school with their sister or brother so they let them go OR in this case if the person was WHITE they would have let them sleep it off in the car OR let them call a family member to come get them. YES THEY DO THIS FOR WHITE PEOPLE IF YOU DIDN’T KNOW. They do nothing but a bunch of cover up for their people who are the biggest THUGS on this earth!!!!
I’m white and have NEVER gotten a break from a cop. So your “theory” is wrong.
To everyone focusing on the fact it says Brooks, Ragshard for some of these charges, you should go back and look at the Name Type. You’ll see Ragshard is listed as an alias, and Rayshard is listed as his Committed name for other charges. You see this type of thing a lot in criminal records. At some point he likely gave someone the wrong name or someone initially spelled his name wrong. It doesn’t have any bearing on the charges. Having aliases logged just makes things easier if to look up an individual who may potentially give that alias to an officer in the future instead of his actual name. This type of thing happens when people go by “nicknames.” So, if someone’s actually name is Christopher but he goes by Chris, Chris may be entered as an alias.
The truth is, either he ran because he would have been locked up for dui, which may have violated his probation, and sent back up state, OR he would have spent the night in the drunk tank, slept it off, released with an appearance ticket, and hit to “go to his daughter’s birthday,” you know, because he was such a good father. Either way, he would still be alive.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
None of what you write about justifies being shot in the back while running away. Police officers don’t have the authority to take a life because they got punched. Character assassination on an individual does not make it ok. He’s not being shot because of incidents in the past. I get your point about the media spin, but you should consider developing your thought process and argument.
