During the time they were rolling around, why weren't the cops throwing fists?
The bad guy was.

Fear of liability? There were several places you could see the cop could have choked him out easily but didn't take it, I figured due to fear of liability (and perhaps policy against choke holds?), and when LEOs become unable to do their jobs due to fear of liability and public fallout and such, it just ramps up the risks/dangers to all involved increasing probably of serious injury or death.

That was my take when watching to vid and wondering why they clearly held back. Especially right now, LEOs in fear of doing their jobs.

Well the Fulton County DA is burning these two Cops down in a interview.

Hopefully Officers and Deputy’s across the nation will take notice. Society has made it very clear they do not want to be policed, so go through the ****ing motions put your time in and then get the hell out. Also if you’re thinking about becoming a police officer you need to get your ****ing head checked out.
This officer would’ve been much better off going up to the window waking the gentleman up, ignoring all the signs of intoxication, and clear it as a gentleman fell asleep and he did not detect any order of alcohol.

They have 11 charges including felony murder, which puts the death penalty on the table, on him.

Watching this go down, the DA is out for blood.
You're going to have to watch the video to see the obvious bias here.

This DA is exactly why this whole movement is gong to result in inferior Law Enforcement. If you're a White Guy, why would you submit to being Societies Staked Goat?

What. The. Actual. $&@€, Over???

Unbelievable. I don't know if I would go as far as to call it a good shoot, but certainly justified.

If I did everything that this guy did I would expect to get shot at.

Id probably get out of Atlanta now if I lived there. If the mob doesnt get their pound of flesh, Atlanta burns. If the cops get convicted and the police stop doing their job in protest the city burns. Sounds like the DA went for the lose/lose option.

Unfortunately, there are too many cops who took their oath to "not swerve from the course of duty even at the cost of [their] own life" 100% seriously. They are what I call "WALL-E Cops": Even if they were the last person left on Earth, they would continue to patrol as usual.

I'm afraid they are really going to try and get him convicted this time and ensure that he goes to death row. At that point, the best thing to do is get a bunch of guys to intercept the convoy on the way to prison, spring Rolfe, and head for a non-extradition country.
