To comment on the Atlanta incident, I think the officer won't be found guilty if I understand what has happened in the last few weeks.
If this is right, the one officer that shot the taser at the college students pulled over was charged with aggravated assault by using the taser.
By that line of logic of Atanta GA laws, then the officer that shot Mr. Brooks after Brooks turned and aimed the taser at him was doing so more in self defense, as that was attempted aggregated assault. It falls in the line I have heard, 'lawful but awful'.
Bottom line, don't drink and drive. This was very unfortunate and the fatal shooting probably should have been avoided, but don't drink & drive then resist the police by using one of their weapons on them.
