I am sure the Atlanta Police are hiring.....are you interested? The Police officers are "... cut and run ... " lately because they are walking around with a target on their back and mass & social media blocking them from doing their jobs. Should this cop had fired at the running futive?.....maybe not.....they knew who he was, where he lived and had his car....so they could have gone to his home and arrested him there. They don't chase criminals who are speeding away in a car (to avoid other citizens being hurt from the chase) unless the criminal is a danger to society. This guy did not fit that description.... Yes he was vastly wrong to resist, fight, steal the taser, and run away....but could the cops have chased him down (remember he was drunk, so probably not to speedy) and subdued him with a better outcome? The jury will have to decide....but not the public through mass and social media.
