Here's the best I could find for "video" of cops kicking and standing on Brooks. In the age of everyone having a video camera on their phone somehow there are stills being used to show a situation that was being recorded from multiple angles. This DA's analyzation of a crime scene is eerily reminiscent of Rock Bottom's coverage of Homer Simpson going for the Gummy Venus De Milo.

What are "stereotypical Canadians"? How are Canadians so different from minorities? That's racist imo. I don't find that races of people are so different in Surrey that it's jarring to be around the different types, but maybe Toronto and Surrey are nothing alike?.

Atlanta's (two-faced or racist?) DA Paul Howard was just sermonizing about how a taser is a deadly weapon two weeks ago. DA Howard charged an officer with aggravated assault just for pointing a taser at a black woman because it's a deadly weapon, but when a black man shoots a taser at a police officer it's not a deadly weapon. They're just supposed to take it.

Police do get HTH combat training. Members of our military do too. IMO the main problems there were 1) the one idiot cop who just sat there and threatened with his taser over and over finally got pulled down on top of his partner, and Brooks got away. 2) those cops had an audience and they were too shit-scared to do anything violent-looking during the George Floyd wars. Just a few days ago we had a cop throw one punch at chief drunkass when they were involved in an altercation and it's national news. If one of those officers punched Brooks they'd be no less popular in the media. I think the original cop on the scene was just a rookie.

Both of those countries have a strong enough economy that they won't ever lack anything. Their needs are different from ours. You need to compare a Canada with a gas and oil sector to Trudeau's dream country, where the oil sands are phased out. We will no longer have USD coming in for oil. We will still be using petro products though. We'll just be buying from the Saudis, just like Trudeau's family business always has. We'll still be importing all of our clothing, cars and electronics, as usual. What will the strength of our dollar, to purchase foreign commodities, be based on? How much do you think our dollar will be worth without the money coming in from the oil sands? Oh and the money coming from Alberta to the federal gov't will dry up. That's $21B per year less to the feds if AB becomes a break-even province. What if they're a net drain on the federal government, like the maritimes and Quebec have always been?

They're equipped like small armies because the police have to go where they're needed, when they're needed, and they deserve to have the proper equipment to keep them safe. It's not unheard of for there to be gang violence in Canada and the US. We had HAs vs Rock Machine in Que. They have lots of gang clashes down in the US. Terrorist attacks are not that infrequent in either country. A bank was robbed in the US and the robbers had kevlar body armour and helmets - small arms fire didn't hurt them. If your daughter is chilling at a cafe in Toronto and some crazy shit goes down do you want the police to decide that they can't respond? Should they go in even if they know they're doomed?

The 8.21 was your number, I don't give a crap about it. What you don't get is that polishing people's nails and cutting people's hair contributes to GDP. It accounts for 0% of our exports. In the bigger picture, nail technicians and hole digger/refillers and lice-pickers contribute to the GDP equally if they get paid the same amount of money. Why do you think that drug dealers have girlfriends who are "nail techs" who work from home? They can claim legit income for doing nothing. "I made $60K this month." Nope, you just sat on your ass and your bf is laundering money through you. Not all services sector jobs are useless. Working in tourism is quite different from trimming hair because it brings in foreign money. Our country is in huge debt. Killing the biggest export commodity our country has while accruing debt at record levels is so far from sensible that it looks a lot like treason. If you actually knew anything about economics you would know that. We can't import $10B worth of cars and $6B worth of electronics and give away billions to other countries and just not export anything of value to the world. Canada isn't a money tree. No one loves us enough to keep giving us stuff and taking our dollars as payment. They become Pesos. Empty cheques.

I'd call that a lie. You know what happened - Brooks shot a taser at the cop. You can clearly see sparks come out in the video. You're intentionally mischaracterizing this serious issue because CTV is doing that. FYI, just because CTV is lying doesn't make it right for you to do it iceni. You're a liar now. That's not good.

We'll see. I doubt that he talks. He's so fucked if he throws his partner under the bus and he's perceived to be lying.

A taser IS a lethal weapon. For a while they tried to call it a non-lethal weapon but people keep dying from it, so it's now called a 'less lethal' weapon. The law in Georgia: https://www.abtlaw.com/criminal-defense/weapon-crimes/stun-gun-laws/ So it wasn't just a cute, cuddly taser that he shot at the officer's head, it was a firearm, in the eyes of the law. IDGAF what the DA said. The DA is a known liar - I watched him say that Brooks was "slighty intoxicated" (Brooks was passed out drunk and blew .108 = pissed) and that's just alcohol. If he had other drugs in his system he could be completely wasted. They needed him to come in for a blood test. He flipped out. The DA also described him as jovial and polite. Polite isn't the same as 'wresteled cops, punched them in the face, stole a taser, shot it at cops. The DA is a lying ftard and the only person to date that has made the kicking claim. Again, I'll need to see video of a kick before it stands here. Right now it's just a rumour, because the DA's word does not stand as a record of events when we know that he's lying about more than one other thing. That dick also said that the cops stood on his shoulders. How does one even do that?

1) Not possible 2) they didn't 'shoot him in the back', they 'shot him when he was shooting a taser at the cop' 3) I haven't seen video of a cop kicking him while he was dying, have you? Can you post a link plz? There were citizens filming that, not just cop cams. Cite req'd.

We have every right to have an opinion, sure, and to make necessary criticisms of the police, yes. But most of what is being said these days can be disregarded, as it's just idiotic. It's like if your 8 year old wants to stay up til midnight on a school night. Thanks for the opinion, now go to bed. Conservatives aren't forgetting anything. We saw a cop murder someone two weeks ago. Cops saw that too. Then we saw Rayshard Brooks go full retard, and the dire consequences of that. There's a good reason why you won't see conservatives just punch a cop in the face and then tase them. You go right ahead though. This chief was a dick who no doubt gets punched in the face a lot. My google translator guessed that that was bullshit, but even it couldn't make complete sense of that first part. You're actually fabricating here Boges, which is the worst form of lying. The Chief wasn't just 'not appreciating' the fine work of the police, he wasn't just being a dick, he actually threatened the cop on more than one occasion. Then he resisted arrest. I don't think the cop should have punched him when he was on the ground, but we couldn't see all that was going on. Maybe Chief Little Brain head-butted him, squeezed his balls, kneed him, scratched him, pulled his hair, bit him.... We just don't know, and when you don't know you don't guess. The punch looked bad, there will be an investigation, there's no need for the assumption of absolute guilt on the part of the cop, or acting like the chief wasn't a total asshole, or acting like this one incident is proof that "all cops are just racist against natives!!!!!". This is a grown up discussion. Wear some big boy pants, with a belt even.

I can promise you that cop won't be executed by the state. There are 42,000 police officers in Georgia right now and there probably aren't a dozen who would keep wearing their badges if they said he was getting the death penalty. You can't tell cops that they have to allow themselves to be punched in the face and then tased without defending themselves. Half of them will quit right there. Forget about convincing them that they'll get the death penalty for defending themselves. it sure looks like one of them is fucked.

Whoooaaaaa great comeback iceni. I toats agree we need to put an end to curbside executions like this one, where the Chief did absolutely nothing wrong, the police stopped him for absolutely no reason, and then when he was being polite the whole time, he just got killed out of the blue. Blood and guts everywhere, but surprisingly no brains. You should be a SCJ. The cops would never arrest anyone. It would be AWESOOOMMMME! It would be kind of hard to be an attractive woman, or for kids to ride bikes, or for men to go to work 40 hrs a week, knowing that the police weren't doing anything, but at least executions like this would come to an end! Hallelujah brotha!

I'm not wrong at all. We can circulate our money around Canada as fast as we want. It is meaningless. All of us Canadians can pick imaginary lice out of each other's hair and pass around $1,000 bills like monopoly money for it every day. It will make the GDP look enormous. We'll pay a lot of extra taxes, but that doesn't get us anything from foreign countries. It won't make for any export dollars, and it won't help us get China or America to give us a single iPhone. If we extract $1B worth of oil and sell it to the US for $400M, as usual, we now have a global economy, and we can start to import iPhones. Get it? The gas and oil is 8.21% of our GDP stat is not as significant as the gas and oil is 25% of our global exports stat, from a national standpoint. We could kill the hair and nail sector of the economy by buying scissors and nail files and it wouldn't hurt our bottom line globally. Killing the gas and oil sector would cripple this country's economy - our exports would drop by 25%.

Yes, they had broad-based protests for the last half of 2014, all of 2015 and all of 2016, but that's not something to brag about. Why did you even bring it up? Florida had 43 deaths yesterday, 6 more deaths than New York, 4 more than Pennsylvania. Arizona is behind those two. Texas had 6. Oklahoma still has zero covid deaths. WTF are you talking about? Florida's high death rate is because of their elderly population. They have 1/5th the number of cases and more deaths than NY. Florida's death rate is lower than Canada's. They'd have 4,500 deaths if they were on our pace. It is mostly on pop density, the crowded subway, and the presence of the UN HQ, which makes NYC a prime destination for any virus that breaks out anywhere in the world. Nice to see you're learning something Boges! I'm actually really happy about that. Interestingly, Tokyo has as much higher ridership than NYC, at 10M per day. I think that the use of masks was the main deciding factor in fighting covid. No doubt the travel ban they did helped, but if you had to choose one or the other, I would choose masks. In either event, 'our' government [if they're really concerned about Canada] was 100% wrong on both counts.

I blame the Obamas for dog-whistling to rioters and looters. That's disgusting, and far worse than anything that any other US POTUS has done in a long time. Trump has to own that in Dem-controlled states, covid killed about 650 people per million. Almost 3x as many as in Republican states. Even Florida, with all of it's retirement communities, kicked ass on Covid. The hardest-hit place on earth had a dem mayor and a dem governor. They were both guilty of incredibly stupid things, like sending infected people into care homes and telling people to continue riding the subway and eating in restaurants even after the POTUS had already taken significant steps which showed that the feds were taking covid seriously.

I just said that liberals are sheep. You doubted that for a second. HCQ isn't going to be the silver bullet here, but it really tells you a lot about a person when that makes them happy.

Liberals are sheep. The minute that Trump said 'HCQ' every liberal in NA believed every single negative thing that they heard about "the deadly side effects of HCQ". No one bothered to question why the drug was around for 60 years if it killed people stone cold dead, or turned people blind right away. None of them bothered to just look up the side effects themselves - they just all went into regurgitation mode. Even stupid things like 'Trump is making money off it' went viral right away, but the drug had been off-patent for decades at that point. Anyone with half a brain instantly knew that was bullshit. That whole sycophant horde also just assumed in advance that the new vaccine was going to be pure as the driven snow, with no side-effects and a 100% success rate at stopping the pandemic. 'EVERYONE HS TO TAKE IT AS SOON AS IT COMES OUT!!!! THIS PANDEMIC IS OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS!!!!!!! [3-10 out of every 1,000 infected people die] Ironic that the horde of people who thought that a drug with a 60-yr history of being safe (after being used for long periods of time by hundreds of millions of people) was suddenly proven to be a killer, all had 100% faith in a vaccine that still hadn't even been created and had never been tested on a single person. That's the epitome of being sheep. So yes, I'm saying absolutely, unequivocally and for the record that "2015-2020 CANADIAN AND AMERICAN LIBERALS ARE SHEEP". If that's not true then I'm a liar.

The prosecutor in that case is just a huge liar and grandstander. He said things like brooks was "slightly intoxicated" and described him as jovial, etc, which is quite misleading seeing as he punched a cop in the face among other things. Nice to know that .108 and passing out behind the wheel in Georgia is just slightly intoxicated as per their prosecutor's own words. I guess that at .095 with one eye open you're sober. It was .07 here for the longest time, but now you can get busted below even that.

The guy who had the taser out wasn't doing anything. He just kept saying "stop resisting or I'll taser you" but he didn't even taser him. He just lost his taser to the guy. Honestly, if you're holding a pistol by the grip and someone else grabs the barrel they'll always win because they have have a lot of leverage on you, but that cop was still just as useless as tits on a boar.

Democracy isn't working anymore because the alt-left media is a bunch of out of control liars and panderers, along with the Dems/Libs. Barack Obama is the worst of the lot. Him and Michelle are trying to squeeze every last ounce of crime out of the Demmie horde. Honest coverage of Michael Brown's death would have resulted in far less rioting, looting, arson and cop-killings. Obama could have played that down after a few months instead of continuously fanning the flames. Accurate coverage of George Floyd's death would have resulted in very little rioting, looting, arson and cop-killings. Obama and his ho worked the GF death as hard at they could without carrying torches and attacking cops themselves. Accurate coverage of Rayshard Brooks' death would have resulted in no rioting, looting, and arson. It's not getting much traction at all but it's not for a lack of trying.

Interesting comparisons in the States and Canada: In the 7 Dem-controlled States with the highest death tolls, with a combined population of 111M people, there were 75,419 deaths. 679 per million In the 7 GOP-controlled States with the highest death tolls, with a combined population of 92M people, there were 23,523 deaths. 255 per million Canada has 8,250 deaths, 217 per million.

It's useless in the sense that a nation could have $200 trillion in GDP but if it's all in the local sex trade, and no foreigners engage in that activity [brining in their money] then that nation won't be contributing anything to the global economy and they won't be able to convince South Koreans to send them any cars. If that nation exports $10B worth of goods and brings in another $10B for tourism then they will have some leverage to bring in commodities from foreign countries. Much in the same way, you and your family could work all 40 hrs a week cleaning and renovating your house and fixing your cars and doing personal grooming, that doesn't convince the Hyundai dealership to give you a car. You'll need to be taking part in the local economy to provide something of worth in order to get money. There's a big difference between jobs in mining, agriculture, forestry, oil & gas industries, etc, compared to nail technicians, teachers, policemen, hairdressers, etc.

CTV's opening monologue says "police in Atlanta shot a black man in the back while he was running away".
