The Atlanta officer who fatally shot Rayshard Brooks in the back after the fleeing man pointed a stun gun in his direction will be charged, a prosecutor said Wednesday.

Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard made the announcement about officer Garrett Rolfe during a news conference. Rolfe had already been fired after he fatally shot Brooks, 27, on Friday night.

That DA was a moron, and that cop can get the death penalty for defending himself...I am sure he forgot to show the video of the perp attacking the Policeman, trying to steal his gun, then trying to taser him while running away.

Now no one will want to be a Police officer and I can't blame them.

Garrett Rolfe kicked Brooks while he lay on the ground and the officer with him, Devin Brosnan, stood on Brooks' shoulder as he struggled for life after a confrontation Friday night, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said at a news conference.

 

First I've read of this. This is a game changer. Was this before or after Brooks was shot?

[Vermont Lt]

The only reason that there has not been a general strike is that the cops generally have each other’s backs.

I would love to see a disorganized Blue Flu in some of these cities.

F the ATL.

[windsorknot]

You couldn’t pay me enough to be an Atlanta policeman.

It’s really getting close to the point that LEO’s just walk off their jobs and never come back

I'm sure they are out looking for alternative employment.

ATTENTION POLICE OFFICERS IN ATL: RESIGN NOW.

>CNN is ATT

So what. Every internet and communications provider are leftists ...

So he ran and he died tired.

And the guy that killed him is facing the rest of his life in jail.

Not once did the DA mention how brooks punched and fought to get away and took the Taser gun. And when he mentioned that Brooks fired it, he said that it was fired high in the air and over the officers head. Wow.

After.

I don't think so. He is eligible for the death penalty, so I believe they will execute him.

So what if he kicked the body. It's irrelevant to the fact that Brooks grabbed the taser and fired it at the police officer. Has he not done that, he would still be alive.

Unfortunately, in the current environment, the BLM types are screaming for blood and would burn the city down if they didn't indict and arrest the police officer. Given the racial make up of the city, any jury will ignore the evidence and send him to jail where one of the animals most likely will kill him.

Another city where the animals will soon be running the zoo.

“You couldn’t pay me enough to be an Atlanta policeman.”

Me either, guess they are about to find out how the current policemen feel about the pay level.

None of which justified shooting Brooks.

>> So what.

If your point is complacency, you expressed it well.

And if he was still alive then Garrett Rolfe would not be facing murder charges and 10 other counts. Bad night all around.

[moehoward]

Uh huh. I want to see the video not some frame grab.

[ohioman]

This pure political BS. Take your dumbass leftwing opinion somewhere else.

So what non-leftist telecom provider do you use for your TV, phone, and internet ?

[Responsibility2nd]

Bad move on the part of the cop.

The shooting was justifiable. Kicking a dying man whom you just shot? Another cop standing on his shoulders?

That’s as bad as Chauvin neck kneeling. These two Atlanta cops are going to jail!
