Well I know nothing about war or strategy, but my bet is that you always engage at time & location of YOUR choice, and don't allow yourself to be herded into cattle shutes, or trains, at their insistence...so I hope everyone has their calm cool collected & can't be made to dance on cue hats on & their trigger guards engaged.

This is a Fealty thing.
Yes, when you take a man's dollar you have to ride FOR the brand. BUT FEALTY goes TWO WAYS at the same time, and the guy whose brand you ride for has to support you as well as you support him.

The Knight puts his hand on his Liege's sword and swears Fealty (Faith) to the Liege, and the Liege places HIS hand on the Knight's hand and swears Fealty (Faith) to the Knight.

Biatch seems to think this is a one way street.

"YOU owe US because we pay you." NOT how it works.

DA who just charged cop with felony murder in Rayshard Brooks case recently explained a Taser is considered a deadly weapon

DA who just charged cop with felony murder in Rayshard Brooks case recently explained a Taser is considered a deadly weapon

June 17, 2020 by Brett T.


"Well, this is something. As Twitchy recently reported, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard announced that former Atlanta police officer Garrett Rolfe would face 11 charges in connection with the deadly shooting of Rayshard Brooks, including felony murder, which could net him life in prison or the death penalty if found guilty.
Rolfe’s attorneys will certainly argue that Rolfe fired in self-defense, as Brooks, in a scuffle with Rolfe and another officer, managed to grab the officer’s Taser and run off. He’s seen on surveillance video from Wendy’s turning around at one point and pointing something at the officers, presumably the Taser.

Whether or not that justifies Rolfe firing on Brooks will be decided in court, but as Greg Price notes, just a couple of weeks ago Howard was explaining to the press that a Taser is considered a deadly weapon in Georgia, but during his presser today, he said that at no time did Brooks pose a threat.

So then if a taser is considered a deadly weapon and the perp turns it on a cop, then the cop is justified in defending himself and shouldn't be charged with felony murder.

Tasers are issued to police, but they are charged with using a deadly weapon if they actually use them?

Well, it's morning and Atlanta hasn't yet burned. In fact it was unnaturally quiet last night.
News emphasis seems to have shifted to Bolton's book and Tulsa and Covid19.
Funny how that happens. The left always has backup scenarios waiting in the wings to go batshit crazy over.

As far as the Brooks shooting, the pendulum seems to have swung to the other side.
In the Floyd case the local DA was slow to respond and was going to undercharge until the state stepped in. Just the opposite happened in Atlanta. The local DA overcharged and in a couple of days the state will step in and recommend a reduction in charges. Possibly manslaughter and reckless endangerment of innocent bystanders when the shooter put a bullet in an occupied car.

Funny how all the riots in Atlanta seem to have evaporated last night, but I expect serious clashes in Tulsa outside of the rally. Liberal resources have already shifted to Tulsa as a few other posters have already mentioned.
Anyone who says a most of this crap isn't orchestrated on a national level is blind.

There are several charges against that officer, too, including up to 20 yrs for standing on the perp's shoulder when he was down. Officer said he thought it was his arm. In the photo it's too far and grainy for me to tell. Either way, I think there were three charges leveled at him. He will make a public statement in a few days. Of course, with several charges and decades of time leveled against him, he may feel pressured to be a state's witness against the other cop.

Hmm...........could it be that most of these protests are coming mostly from the organized and funded left rather than the any organic resolve by the citizens in the area they occur?............if Atlanta isn't burning maybe because they don't have the people to ship there to ignite the spark but are headed to Tulsa instead?

If this is true then the organized left is far smaller than thought...........and they aren't interested in BLM unless it helps them to go after Trump.

Take it a step further -

Perhaps the reason Atlanta isn't burning maybe it's because they sent out the message to chill tonight - "Ya see? We don't need no cops!" Good fit to the narrative...

Perhaps, but the usual suspects aren't know for following suggestions to show restraint or impulse control.

Following the first whiff of mayhem, riot and violence...now that's a different matter, entirely.

Well, I see Atlanta has done what I recommended

If no dead or wounded cops, its Murder One. Clean, simple, open and shut.

And the upline is charged with malfeasance (poor training) and they go to court or resign.

All we need now is for the cops to be relieved of qualified immunity.

That will paralyze law enforcement, which is the goal.

The Joe SixPack culture will be totally out of control, not safe for man or beast, all on International Channel 6.

Heard (read) some debate on here, maybe this thread as to whether or not a tazer was a deadly weapon.

In several instances last night on TV, under GA law it is considered a "deadly weapon". Thus ended the debate. It is in GA, and that's all that matters.

They could designate a purple crayon a deadly weapon and under their law it would be.

And let's not forget the DA is up for election in Nov. and at present is under investigation for bribery. Can you smell a motive? Really what does he care if a white boy gets the death penalty?

Once the fight broke out all bets were off.

Defund the police sounds like a great idea …..in their neighborhood.

Atlanta police shooting autopsy reveals Rayshard Brooks suffered 2 gunshot wounds to the back, death ruled homicide

As the killing of a 27-year-old black man in an encounter with two white officers late Friday rekindled fiery protests in Atlanta and prompted the police chief’s resignation, the medical examiner on Sunday found Rayshard Brooks suffered two gunshot wounds to the back and his death has been ruled a homicide.

The office of Fulton County Medical Examiner performed an autopsy on Brooks on Sunday and said that the gunshot wounds to the back created organ failure because of blood loss.

See, this is my argument on what I saw on film:

One jerk, two cops. HOW did the cops KNOW FOR A FACT that the perp didn’t grab a gun from one of the two cops? I mean you have yours, but just what if during the scuffle you did not see this idiot grab your partner’s gun? What if? Besides, even Forest Gump knows not to point ANYTHING towards a cop and not expect to be shot. So what if it was “only a taser”? I don’t care. Stance on that guy was threatening. Don’t care who you are. Good shoot.

I'd suggest that the psychological and sociological terrain today is NO WHERE NEAR what it was for Jade Helm.

The conscious adjustments for the difference in the terrain would be MASSIVE, and if the folks who plan on using what they learned with JH don't adjust to the differences they WILL fail SPECTACULARLY.

And those of us who had an actual CLUE to what JH was about will get to laugh UPROARIOUSLY around the council fires and campfires.

Agree PP. Maybe this is a glimmer of a weakness. The riots (call them what they are) are so very organized and scripted and the manpower to carry out the riot is so very small that they are not able to turn on a dime when the script is suddenly revised.

I don’t believe for one minute that there is much if any ‘organic resolve.’

If there really is a ‘shortage’ of available personnel for left-funded rioting then the organizers have to pool their resources where they’ll get the most bang for their buck (couldn’t resist the pun!) in Tulsa.

This might actually be a bit of good news. :shr:
