Proof about the kicking accusation. I know you hear about it same as me but no proof.

There are lots of cameras on the scene. And Rolfe's partner is cooperating with the investigation. So how do you know that there's no proof?

Because so far no one has come up with anything that shows him being kicked!  The other officer is co-operating because he has to, he's facing charges also!

A good summary of the events. Anything incorrect about it?

He complied for about 40 mins BEFORE the incident took place.

...then he decided that complying wasn't such a good idea and to fight the officers, steal a Taser and run away then turn and fire the weapon at the chasing officers!  Great compliance.

Yes. 

Though he did ask for additional charges of resisting arrest, etc. although even that is murky because the attempted arrest was not in compliance with Atlanta police rules. 

But he certainly did not ask to be shot dead in the back and then kicked. 

The murdering cop asked to have the book thrown at him and his wish was granted. 

He was not kicked.  He did attempt to shoot a police officer with a deadly weapon, though.

Atlanta says he was kicked.

He was running. 

It was just a taser.

He shouldn't have been shot in the back.

You never   hear  much about  yellow  lives  matter? Mainly because they just get on with it.

You never hear about how much white lives matter either.  Anyone would think that they're less important than black lives.

Yes, that's what the dead man did.

I agree, white officers are going to have their hands tied so securely that they will be totally ineffective wherever a black person is the perpetrator.

And as a result of the resultant break down in law and order all the useful idiots will be screaming their heads off for the state to protect them.

Excessive force, the man was running away and the cop shot him in the back twice. Yes he should not have resisted arrest and stole the taser, but hardly warranted him being shot dead.

He also fired the Taser at the officer, I wonder why you missed out that rather relevant part?

It's very easy to sit in the comfort of ones armchair passing judgement on an event,ever been involved in a similar incident?

There's a big difference between "Atlanta" saying that he was kicked and anything empirical showing that he was.  So far, nothing has been published that showed he was kicked.  Nothing.

 

Yes, "he was just running", then he turned around and fired the Taser at the officer (a recognised deadly weapon in Georgia/Atlanta), then he continued to run.

Taser vs 9mm, which one is more dangerous, hmm

That hardly matters, in Georgia they're both deadly weapons.

A thug is a thug regardless of race, color or creed.  Thugs lie, cheat, steal, loot, burn down stores, create an unsafe environment for all around. It does not matter where you come from.  Borish and thuggish behavior is reprehensible.  The term Thug is not racist in anyway.

 

Thug is a term for a violent, lawless person, especially a man.

The word was originally used in the 1800s as a name for members of a group of men in India said to be professional criminals and murderers. In this use, it is sometimes capitalized.

Since then, thug has come to have a more general meaning similar to its more old-fashioned synonym ruffian. The act of behaving as a thug is known as thuggery. The adjective form of thug is thuggish. In this sense, thug often refers to someone who acts as a bully or is a professional and violent criminal, as in The mafia sent hired thugs to intimidate store owners.

Thug came from a cult in india( as you stated) from a cult called thugee.

Had the tazer hit the police officer it would have incapacitated him allowing his assailant to steal his side arm which was a 9.mm glock 17 holding 17 rounds.then God knows what could have happened.

Usual American policy of shoot first and ask questions later. How about getting rid of all the guns.

Its not American policy of shoot first and ask questions!

 There are 10 million arrest each year by law enforcement

In this matter, in Atlanta!

How about not driving drunk 

How about not resisting a law enforcement officer.

How about not assaulting  a police officer!

How about not stealing  the officers weapon (tazer)

How about not aiming ,firing, a deadly weapon and forcing the officer to defend himself.

 

Seems to me this guy made the mistake of making numerous infractions which all resulted in his death! If only he didn't resist!

What is non-compliant about arresting someone for DUI?
