If, as some here are insisting, the cop was justified in shooting Brooks, why was he promptly fired?

Not suspended, not put on administrative leave, not given desk duty. Fired. Immediately.

Obviously, his superiors in the Atlanta Police Department believed that the shooting was not only unjustified, but also grounds for immediate termination.

So can we stop with the attempts here to justify shooting an unarmed black man in the back as he ran away?

It's bad enough when rogue cops, Trumpers and other bigots excuse police brutality against us, time after time after time. But it's especially disheartening when people who claim to be our allies try to gaslight us into thinking we're overreacting because, after all, the dead black man had it coming.

"If only black men were more respectful and compliant, they wouldn't get shot by the police"

Rayshard Brooks was killed, not because he posed a deadly threat, but because he pissed off the cop

And you wonder why we're mad?

Even the "We don't know the whole story/If only he hadn't resisted/Not all cops" crowd can't defend this ...

Ted Cruz needs to call for a cleanup in his aisle ...

'Cause Eric Swalwell smeared him all over the floor ...
