spin_dry Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Great way to treat your game after shooting it. (CNN) — The Atlanta Police officer who shot and killed Rayshard Brooks at a Wendy's parking lot last week was charged with felony murder, and the other officer on scene was charged with aggravated assault, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard announced Wednesday. The decision comes just five days after Brooks was shot twice in the back in Atlanta during an attempted arrest. Officer Garrett Rolfe, who shot at Brooks three times, faces 11 charges in all, and officer Devin Brosnan, who was also on scene, faces three charges. After shooting Brooks, Rolfe said "I got him" and kicked him, and Brosnan then stood on Brooks' shoulder, Howard said. The officers did not provide medical aid to Brooks for more than two minutes after he was shot, Howard said. Their demeanor after the shooting "did not reflect any fear or danger of Mr. Brooks, but reflected other kinds of emotions," Howard said. Brosnan has agreed to be a state's witness, Howard said. "I don't remember a circumstance where we had an officer, particularly in a case this important, to step forward and say that they would cooperate with the state," he said. Three of the counts against Rolfe are for aggravated assault related to a bullet he fired that hit an occupied vehicle nearby in the Wendy's lot. Brosnan's three charges include two counts of violations of oath of office. Rolfe was fired and Brosnan was placed on administrative duty in the wake of the shooting. Garrett Rolfe, left, was charged with felony murder, and Devin Brosnan was charged with aggravated assault in the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks. Arrest warrants have been issued for the two and they were asked to surrender by Thursday. With the felony murder charge, Rolfe could face the death penalty if convicted. Tomika Miller, Rayshard Brooks' widow, said she hopes everything in the case falls into place like it should. "I'm really hurt. Father's Day is coming up and all I can do is just think about is what if my husband were still here," she said in a brief statement to reporters. Asked about new details revealed by the district attorney, Miller began to cry and said, "I was very hurt. ... I felt everything that he felt just by hearing what he went through. And it hurt. It hurt really bad." The incident began when police responded to a report of a man sleeping in his car in the fast-food restaurant's drive-thru lane. After chatting calmly with the officers and failing a Breathalyzer test, Brooks resisted when officers moved to handcuff him for suspected drunken driving. Video footage shows the three fighting on the ground before Brooks grabs an officer's Taser and begins to run away. As the officers chase him, Brooks points the Taser over his shoulder at Rolfe, who then shoots him multiple times, the surveillance video shows. Brooks was struck twice in the back and died at a nearby hospital. The police killing came amid nationwide protests calling for an end to racism and police violence against black people. Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields stepped down from her position in the wake of the killing. Another demonstration was taking place Wednesday at the Wendy's where Brooks was shot, with dozens of protesters gathered and some blocking the road.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted June 18, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 18, 2020 He will get off or should. Under Georgia law a taser is a deadly weapon of which was fired at him. Was the cop right shooting him with another officer present...no. Was it murder....no. Firing him is all that legally should be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 So a fleeing drunk with a violent criminal record steals a lethal weapon from a police office while resisting arrest. Said fleeing drunk violent criminal turns and fires a deadly weapon at the officer, the cop returns fire. Charge the cop with murder. Heard a liberal on Fox (cuz they're allowed there) said the cops should have taken his keys and let him walk home. Seems legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
