That’s a different conversation than what bignish said. He said I am okay with people being shot for just resisting. You can’t even agree that Brooks did more than just resist.

Resisting arrest may be a misdemeanor, but battery of a police officer can be a felony, and disarming a police officer is a felony.
Do we agree he did more than just resist arrest based on those differences?
What do you consider ‘just resisting’? I assume you mean wriggling out of their hands and running away? Taking the taser makes it a whole different ballgame?
Wrestling the cops to the ground, hitting one in the face, and committing the crime of felony disarming of a policy officer makes it a different ballgame than just resisting arrest.
Everything goes back to play stupid games win stupid prizes.
Multiple times in my life I can pinpoint where I went wrong. It all goes back to a decision/**** up I made.

The references I’ve seen to ‘disarming a police officer’ refer to firearms exclusively. A taser isn’t classified as a firearm. So I don’t think that charge applies. Maybe it does.
Battery would apply. But that brings us back to the crux of this discussion.
We know that striking an officer the way Brooks did doesn’t allow that officer to legally shoot you. You seem to be suggesting that the battery (slapping an officer) plays a role in the justification of the shooting. Why is that?
You don’t think somebody who wiggles around and runs away should get shot. Good. Cool.

So what do you guys do for fun each night?
Memphis is opening back up. Was tempted to see the Kentucky Knicks last night at the FedEx Forum. Passed on tickets. Made a bunch of stupid post on here instead and got laid.
Memphis in May is coming up. It's our favorite thing about Memphis.

So he hit a cop and took his taser. Why was the cop justified in shooting him?
I know your whole thing is the “just resisting” issue. I’m done with that. Take the W, I suppose.
At the moment Brooks was shot, he was a man running away with what was essentially a toy gun, as dangerous as the squirt gun my daughter plays with and the officer was aware of that fact or should have been aware.
You answered your own question. I thought old ancient civilizations settled on hitting cops and taking their weapon meant war.
I think in ancient civilizations, if you hit a cop and took his big stick, you then became the cop.
Very efficient.
Do you agree that by Georgia law it was felony disarming of a cop? I didn’t find that law for you just for you to ignore it.
Post above makes it pretty f'n clear. PPl shouldn't expect to change the law on the fly with stupid actions.
Did I not tell you to take the W? I thought that was me acknowledging it.
So he committed a felony or two while at no point posing a threat to the officer’s life. Yet he was shot. Why is this okay?
Okay so now that we agree it was more than just resisting I’ll go back to waiting for an example of what bignish said.
Testing a cops patience sounds like a worse ideat than testing a 9 volt battery.
It seems simple enough to not do it.

I didn't make it clear. But I was being sarcastic. I was just making it as simple as brooky wants it to be. Do I think Brooks should have been shot? Maybe not. Am I surprised that he was? Not at all. It wasn't one or two minor things that led to him getting shot. It was the combination of all the stupid things he did. And it was his choices that got him there. It is unfortunate for sure, but he made a mistake that sadly he won't get to learn from.
I think in todays age, a shitty driver is more likely to be shot than just a regular asshole.
I don't know man, I just know how quickly things can go wrong in a scuffle---esp one that involves any type of weapon.
Brook has a unique talent that allows him to watch a video over and over to get into the mind of the officer and see his thoughts. He has an unfair advantage over the rest of us because he knows exactly what the cop knew and what his intentions were. And with brook being an expert on all things, he knows exactly what he would have done in a situation before it ever happens.
This is unrelated to the prior messages, but maybe related because it's somewhat political. Some people are having issues with Prince Charming's kiss, as it came without consent. What should be done about this conundrum?

I bet brook wears the same shorts.
