Atlanta-area police fatally shoot suspect who tried to steal cruiser
Incident occurred around 3 a.m. Tuesday in Lawrenceville, GA
Police officers in an Atlanta suburb fatally shot a man before dawn Tuesday after he tried to steal a police vehicle, investigators say.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said police in Lawrenceville were conducting a traffic stop when a vehicle sped by around 3 a.m. The black Kia Sorento made a U-turn and drove back toward the officers, with the driver getting out of the car.
Officers in suburban Atlanta reportedly shot and killed a suspect who attempted to steal a police cruiser.
The driver then tried to steal a police cruiser, investigators said. Lawrenceville officers shot the man after he didn’t obey commands to stop, they said.
It’s not clear whether the officers were physically threatened. The man’s name hasn’t been released.

74th shooting this year compared to, what? Without context this is a useless number.

74th….
I prefer 42.
Looks like a Fauxcahontas Warren family axe. Highcheeks, Harvard and feathers.
Is that the Tomahawk that Richard Sheetz used in combat while working as an E-3 with EOD Unit 11 in Afghanistan? https://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=94700
Sheetz sounds exactly like a relative of mine who was diagnosed bi-polar. They seem normal, and are often very bright but do incredibly stupid things and claim they are the one being harassed. He needed Meds, probably was proscribed them at one time but refuses to take them.
checked out sheetz’s bio and came to the delusion that sheetz was full of sheet. I had to add in one of Leo Gorcey’s venacular words. (delusion).
The 74th is not a comparative number, merely a cumulative number of Police shootings investigated by the stateys for the year.
DON’T try to steal a popo cruiser. It pisses them off. DO follow the instructions of Officers Friendly. They like that. Also DON’T take a knife to a gunfight. Mr. Stabby very seldom will best Mr. Shooty.

There may and/or may not be various ‘hawks stashed in and amongst pre-positioned prep supplies.
Let us not assume facts not in evidence. “Sharp object” might even mean a new entry in the TNTBTAG book. Tent stake? Seam ripper? Lawnmower blade?

Am glad I didn’t make one of my comments because someone would reply and say “You axed for it”
