The video of the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks has been released. My take is that he shouldn’t have died. However, it’s not as cut and dry as the George Floyd video. Other officers could weigh in and tell us how this could have been handled differently, wherein Mr. Brooks would still be alive. Or was this just tragic and the officers followed procedure?
Given what you saw in the entirety of the video, could the officers have exercised discretion specially at the time where he was out of the car and said he’ll walk home? Is that possible and could the Atlanta PD have liability if they let him walk home? Could they have waited for someone to pick him up? Again, liability?
You decide…
