The officer in the Rayshard Brooks case is charged with felony murder and ten other charges. I don’t know the law, but I know he was overcharged. The DA is up for re-election. He is feeding the voracious mob.
The officer appears to have made a poor decision in hindsight, but who knows how he saw the events at the time. The other officer is turning state’s evidence and will say former officer Rolfe kicked Mr. Brooks. That’s bad.
The former Atlanta police officer is facingfacing including felony murder and aggravated assault after fatally shooting Rayshard Brooks in a Wendy’s parking lot last week, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Brooks, a black man, “was running away at the time that the shot was fired” by Officer Garrett Rolfe, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard Jr. said.
“At the time Mr. Brooks was shot,” Howard said, “he did not pose an immediate threat of death or serious physical injury.”
At the time the shot was fired, Rolfe made an “excited utterance,” and said, “I got him,” Howard said.
Uh, so?
The officer was punched by Mr. Brooks, they wrestled on the ground, he grabbed his taser and shot it off as he ran. They left that out of the ABC News story.
Rolfe has since been fired.
If convicted of felony murder, the former officer could face the death penalty, DA Howard said.
The second officer at the scene, Devin Brosnan, was placed on administrative leave.
Brosnan has since decided to testify on behalf of the state, Howard said.
The DA is in trouble, under criminal investigation for financial crimes, also, accused of sexual harassment.
His murder charge against the cop is already totally discredited. The GBI says it was not consulted and is not done investigating.
This proves the illegitimacy of the charges:
Two weeks ago, the DA in Atlanta who’s currently charging Officer Garrett Rolfe in the Rayshard Brooks case charged police officers with aggravated assault for using a taser on protesters.
“A taser is considered a deadly weapon under Georgia law”
It’s getting interesting. Police apparently are walking off the Job. Evidently the news Brosnan will testify was false.

Looks like that DA is one big Crook..No wonder he wanted the spotlight. So he can deflect from his own problems. Just like the Federal, these Democrats will go after someone else to Hide their own criminal activity.

Of course Brosnan will testify. What alternative does he have, After Minnesota.
What NONE of the damn coverage is pointing out is THIS damn fact. How long did that conversation go on Without Brooks even knowing WHERE he was. He didn’t even know WHAT DAMN county he was in. He wasn’t even aware his car was in the drive thru. He kept changing his story throughout the interview, and THIS is what cops look for in a stop. And the officers were to let him go? We Now know he has a long rap sheet of family abuse etc.
