Cop Jumps on Unarmed Man's Back and Shoots Him in the Head Over Laundry Detergent

This week, a horrifying video of a police-involved shooting was released, showing Harris County Sheriff's Office Sergeant Garrett Hardin crawling over the back of Roderick Brooks and shooting him in the back of the head. Brooks was accused of stealing detergent from a Dollar General store nearby. When he was slain, he was unarmed.

The cops reportedly got a complaint about a guy who allegedly shoplifted and shoved the store clerk on his way out.

The lady from the business phoned the police to report that a melanin male wearing a blue shirt, grey shorts, and a baseball cap had stolen merchandise and assaulted her on the way out.

During her 911 call, the lady said, "A client is fleeing out of the shop and he struck me on the way out." My arm was pushed out of the way by him.

The woman informed authorities that she was not wounded and did not require medical treatment.

She informed officers, "I just want him arrested because he is actually racing to the rear of the building right now," adding that she did not believe he was under the influence of drugs and that he was unarmed.

The dispatcher then asked the lady whether the responding cops would encounter any threats while confronting the guy, to which she responded, "No."

A second witness called 911 and said that the black guy had stolen laundry detergent and pushed the lady as he left.

As Hardin arrived on the scene, his body camera began recording. When Hardin exits his vehicle, he momentarily pursues Brooks before tasing him and forcing him to tumble to the ground.

Brooks is perplexed as to why the cop is on top of him and tries to get up.

"Why did you tase me?" Brooks asks Hardin. Please leave me alone, dude.

Brooks then makes the foolish choice of grabbing the taser that Hardin had placed on the ground in front of him.

"I plan on shooting you." Put it in writing, "Hardin urges." "I will f***ing shoot you," he said.

Brooks never pointed the taser at the officer, and by the time Hardin drew his gun, Brooks had already dropped it. Hardin positioned his handgun at the base of Brooks' skull and neck and fired a cartridge, immediately killing Brooks.

"Our results from a persistent absence of honest police in this nation. "It is a total disaster," attorney Justin Moore, who represents Brooks' family, told HuffPost. "Roderick would still be alive if it weren't for the renegade police roaming these streets."

Moore continued, "What we observed on raw camera indicates the officer was completely out of control and did not adhere to rules."

Moore claimed that Brooks was never a danger and was only defending himself while he briefly held the taser.

"The Taser problem is a red herring, and if you watch the video, you'll see that he takes the Taser but repeatedly releases it," Moore said. "He never seizes the weapon and aims it towards the officer." He attempted to stop it from electrocuting him.

After killing Brooks, Hardin was placed on administrative leave with pay while the department conducted its formal investigation.

The family of Brooks is now requesting that the Texas Rangers and US Department of Justice investigate. Demetria Brooks-Glaze, Brooks' sister, told the Huffington Post that witnesses observed Hardin repeatedly hitting Brooks, which explains why he was struggling, but this was not captured on the body camera film.

"The world must see their actions." "In this instance, they are withholding information," she stated, describing the shooting as "racist."

"What gives you the right to shoot someone in the back of the head and neck and take their life?" Brooks-Glaze added.
