I laughed

Thanks for the write ups 

Hi to all Stokies.

BBC repeated ‘Marvellous’ last night. The story of Nello.

Worth a watch if you haven’t seen it before.

Roth watching if you’re not a Stoke fan too. True feelgood stuff.

Great story , gives you laughs and tears. Loved it.

It will all kick off .

Once the drinking gets underway the rules will be totally undermined and arguments / fights will start.

Hope there is a lot of police presence but even then come the evening it’s going to be bedlam IMHO.

Oh my days, he's going to be losing the plot.

He lost it many years ago

Words fail me.

I blame it all on Marky .

As Tikay would say , he’s a wrong un .

The officer had his taser in his right hand . He switched it to his left hand so he could
reach for his gun with his right hand .

One of them had been there for nearly 45 mins, which you can see from the full video.

We saw the rolling around and wrestling part, then him slip off and turn to fire.

So he hit him twice, and I presume he'll be charged with manslaughter.

All ifs/buts/maybes etc. I think going on the way he was treated throughout, they'd have shot whoever it was had the same happened.

Think the biggest factor is that police need better training and vetting.

Sad situation all around.

Think the biggest factor is systemic racism.

All about opinions Marky , be boring if we all had the same 

After two police officers had been on the scene for 27 minutes, much of that time talking with Mr. Brooks, one of the officers, Garrett Rolfe, attempted to handcuff him, leading to a struggle. The officers tried to stun Mr. Brooks with Tasers, and Mr. Brooks grabbed one of their Tasers and ran away, with Officer Rolfe in pursuit. Mr. Brooks turned at one point to fire the Taser back in Officer Rolfe’s direction; Officer Rolfe then pulled out his handgun and fired at Mr. Brooks three times as he was running away.

The Fulton County medical examiner’s office confirmed on Sunday that Mr. Brooks’s death was a homicide and that the cause of death was “gunshot wounds of the back.” The office’s statement said he had been hit by two shots in the back, causing “organ injuries and blood loss.”

The level of force is just so disproportional to the crime involved.

If their the nice guys hate to think what the nasty buggers would do .

“ Both the cops were nice as pie all the way through “

They shot him dead as he was running away.

No threat to them.

He was drunk , pretty sure they could have apprehended him in a less lethal way than to kill him .

One shot him, after he'd been fighting them both, and aimed a taser at one of them.

He was drunk, they did try apprehending him in a very placid and mellow manner. He started fighting them.

I don't think killing him was the intention.

If their guidelines say let a suspect flee if he overpowers you and takes your weaon, I guess that's why he has been sacked.

Better training required, and a manslaughter charge for the officer that shot him.

One shot him three times in the back while he was running away.

How are the police officers in danger or fearful for their safety ?

Probably pissed off because he fought both of them off and stole their taser for which they would
no doubt be reprimanded for if he got away.

I just can’t see any justification for firing 3 bullets into the back of an unarmed drunk man running away
with a taser he had managed to wrestle from one of the police officers.

He leads with his left leg , his right arm doesn’t move .

His right half looks like it’s been affected by mini strokes.

Hard to tell with his mental capacity as to me he has always appeared dumb.

He really is not well physically and obviously mentally .

There are a lot of people who need to be accountable for hiding the truth when he departs.
