I would call this a bad shooting. He is fleeing, he is not driving, the tazer is a less than lethal weapon, there are 2 officers, had he actually dropped the one officer with the tazer and gone for his weapon I say you are good. In my mind the smart move is set a perimeter and bring more help, or just get a warrant and get him later. I see no argument that his escape was such a risk to the community that lethal force was justified. I don't think the cops are racist, I think they are trying to do their job, but this was just a bad call. I am even more surprised at the decision given the current state of things in this country.

The narrative I heard earlier out of Atlanta is that the officer wasn't threatened with a deadly weapon, so there was no need to employ deadly force. Now, I've never been tased, but if someone has a taser aimed at me, I'm sure as hell not going to just throw up my arms and say, "Aw, why not, I probably have it coming."

If anyone has the time, both body cams are available, Wendy’s our door cam and a drive through cam are online.
Breakdown as I see it:

1. officer rolls up on scene responding to a 911 call, finds and tries to rouse unconscious man in drivers seat of the drive through line (where other ppl had to drive around the car to make an order)
2. officer has to wake rayshard up twice to get him out of the line. Calls another officer who specializes in sobriety investigation.
3. rayshard is visibly intoxicated, slurs, smells of alcoholic beverages, can’t answer timeline questions coherently.
   a) can’t convey how he got there
   b) mixes up the type of drinks and amount of drinks he had that night
   c) talked about eating somewhere else then coming to eat there
   d) says he showed up there to sleep “it” off because he didn’t feel right
   e) after being asked if he feels impaired he says very impaired
4. rayshard agrees to conduct a sobriety test, fails several times. Agrees to blow in the breathalyzer earning a .108
5. rayshard is put under arrest, struggles with the police (whom obviously to me are handling him with kid gloves because they know people in the drive through have to be recording). Rayshard strikes the officer and takes a taser.
6. one officer deploys a taser that does not affect rayshard. Rayshard runs, turns around, and fires the taser at them. He is shot by the second officer twice.
7. Rayshard does at hospital and the Wendy’s burns.
