The police themselves have determined that the arrest and shooting were both illegal and unwarranted and fired the officers involved and forced the police chief Erika Shields to step down.
Rayshard died with no charges filed on him. The DA has indicated that they would have declined to pursue the case if a DUI against Rayshard brought before the court.
Rayshard died with no warrants, open cases or crimes committed. He worked 6 days a week and took care of his wife, 3 daughters and a step-son.
A working man, father of 3, was killed for falling asleep in his car. The man fell asleep in a drive thru, had good enough sense of self to realize he shouldn't drive home, parked up and tried to sleep it off.
He was under no obligation to take field sobriety test or a breathalyzer. It is optional. The cops pressured him for 20 minutes to get him to voluntarily take that piece of shyt test.
To shoot down your angle
@sportscribe to get parked DUI you have to be in control of the vehicle. With him being asleep with the car parked on a private lot, they would have had a hard time establishing control of the vehicle. That's why it is heavily stressed that it is circumstantial charge.
Rayshard was parked and sleep and they realized he was not a belligerent drunk, so they proceed to antagonize him for a half hour to find a reason to arrest him. From the gate he saw them attempting to railroad him, and let the officer know that he wanted avoid any issues.
It is not a matter of opinion. The police officer's own department, the Atlanta Police Department, reviewed the body cam and surveillance videos and determined in 1 day that the officer acted unlawfully and terminated him.
IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA, BY LAW YOU CAN RESIST AN UNLAWFUL ARREST WITH FORCE.
Ewumi v. State, 315 Ga. App. 656 (2012).
In 2012 The State of Georgia ruled that during an unlawful arrest, a man “was justified in resisting the attempted arrest with all force that was reasonably necessary to do so.”
you are not placed under arrest until you are read your miranda rights. Rayshard was never placed under arrest.
That officer is no longer employed by the Atlanta Police Department due to his behavior during this incident.
They have already determined that he was in the wrong. The same police department you guys are worshiping has determined that he was in the wrong for shooting an unarmed man in 1 business day.
The cops in Breonna Taylor's case have yet to be charged or fired, and this guy was fired in one day. And you really want to argue against us who are angry? when the fukking police agree with our assessment?
So yes this is the fukking hill for us to die on.
All Nap trolling aside
@śïñe•qúå_nøn is spreading dangerous misinformation.
First claiming Rayshard was shot while fighting the police on the ground, hence spreading a false self-defense angle, already debunked by the police themselves, and now disproved with the release of more surveillance videos. He was shot in the back and the buttocks according to the EMS on the scene.
They waited over two minutes before they provided any life saving techniques to help him. The lack of humanity is enough of a reason to bush those pigs.
Now he is saying they told him that he was under arrest when he was never placed under arrest. The police have to notify you that you are being placed under arrest and read you your Miranda rights before you are arrested.
Neither of those things occurred in any of the videos that we have been provided.
