They still had the right. That wasn't taken away from them. It wasn't convenient for them, granted. But I think that was planned to keep Rolphe in jail longer. MOO

IMO, that was a fair thing to do. If he didn't postpone the hearing, to me anyway, that would not be a fair thing to do. Regardless of the circumstances, Brooks's family are still victims.
I don't think I'd be banking on Rolfe going anywhere regardless of bond unless the union bonds him out. IMO, bail is going to be set high. He could very well be held without bail.
 
Rayshard Brooks: In his own words. | Reconnect

In February of this year, we [Reconnect] set out to record the experiences of those who struggle within the criminal justice system in this country. We put out a Craigslist ad looking for people on probation or parole who were willing to share their story on camera in Atlanta or DC.

We received hundreds of responses, performed Skype pre-interviews with dozens of people, and headed down to Atlanta to film a handful of interviews. One of those interviews was with Rayshard Brooks. Stephen Quirk recorded these videos, and he’s written about his time with Rayshard.

Thanks.

His attorney may feel he is much safer in jail than out unless they already have a secure unknown place for him to go with armed security protecting him at all times.

I would still be afraid for his safety because we've seen so many first degree arsonists burn so much to the ground already. So if they located his whereabouts the place could still be set afire.

With all of the crazies out now in Atlanta, I dont put it past some who would gladly kill OR. Imo.

We have already seen how some of the violent mobs are targeting innocent police officers, and they proudly do it for all to see. It shows they feel more emboldened than ever because the mayors, and governors do nothing to protect LEO or even their citizens allowing it to continue.

I'm watching FNN and the BLM leader in NY said if they dont get what they want they will burn down the system. So we can prepare for more violent unrests. He said violence is necessary. :(

I thought it couldnt get worse than it's been for our officers in the past 6 or 7 years. We must not ever forget how 5 Dallas, Texas police officers were murdered in cold blood with several others shot, and injured by a supporter of BLM. These officers were just protecting their community yet they were murdered by someone filled with blind hatred.

In the past few years so many of our peace officers have been ambushed, and murdered, and it continues now carried out by the same kind of domestic terrorists who's sole agenda is driven by hatred.

It shows how dangerous blind hate truly is. The only thing that can combat hateful lawlessness is for all of the decent law abiding citizens who hate no one to come together peacefully, and make a stand to take our ravaged country back.

So I'm not sure OR would be safe out on bond when the climate is so toxic. Imo, no law abiding citizens is safe now no matter where they live because we continued to see violence erupt more, and more in more cities, and states.

Its extremely important for him to remain safe. He will be the one who brings the truth to light. Imo, it will be proven in his trial ..he, and the other officer are NG. The best disinfectant is always sunlight. That is the only way all of the truth to become known.

So if he doesn't get bond ...this time I will not be upset as I usually am when I believe other defendants weren't guilty ..because this time I truly feel his life may be in jeopardy.

If others are willing to murder cops in cold blood for no other reason than their race, and uniforms they wear then there could be some violent criminals out there that think taking his life would be a trophy kill. They would already know they would be supported by many including the ancharists, violent mobs, exfelons, and all of the lawless ones who have been saturating our country now for a month with no end in sight.

I pray everyday for both of these officers, and all other Leo's just like I pray for peace, law, and order to return to the country I dearly love.

Jmhoo

According to the interview, RB grabbed his wife's wrist; so we are to believe she called the police and he was charged with domestic violence of a family member. That's his story; I think there was more to it than that. RB was . . to attend anger management classes. We can see from the video at Wendy's how well anger management worked for him. Furthermore, he (RB) didn't like having people keeping tabs on him like a probation or parole officer; he wanted to come and go as he pleased. That's not how the system works; it's a safe guard to ensure compliance with the law. I believe he was a career criminal who was incapable of learning from his mistakes.

Why the heck not!? I can see not allowing a *** to crowd fund for say arms purchases. But we're talking about a cop in need of legal help on charges that never should have been brought. I hope these 2 sue the crap out of DA Howard and the mayor personally when this sham is over.

Floyd family has 14 million in ****** right now, and attorney Crump also set up a fund for people who want to mail in donations. All that money, for what? They'll get a huge settlement from a civil suit. Oh, of course, he'll take his cut. :rolleyes:

Meanwhile, Atlanta PD get to look forward to low morale, a dangerous work environment, fear of prosecution at every turn, and a one-time $500 bonus to recognize their sacrifices during this difficult time.

I just read online that La Tashia Stapléton-Clarke has a crowd fund account to raise funds for Natalie White's legal defense which has raised $150.00. Yet Officer Brosnan and Rolfe are denied the same crowdfunding source. I would think that would be illegal and discriminatory.

That's certainly what a reasonable, logical person would conclude....

No one is allowed to attend their grand jury proceedings. This is behind closed doors, not in a courtroom or before a judge. Grand jurors usually meet near the prosecutors office and review multiple cases as evidence comes in. If they have further questions, they’ll call in witnesses, but at no time is Rolfe allowed to observe.

I served as Foreperson on a Grand Jury for a year and we were not even allowed to know the identities of the accused.
 
“Attached to the bond motion was a “to whom it may concern” letter from Atlanta Police Department homicide detective Al Hogan, who arrived on the scene after the shooting. After returning to his office that night, Hogan said he was told Brooks was still alive at Grady Memorial Hospital but in critical condition.

Hogan said he reviewed audio and video evidence from the scene and interviews he had with witnesses. He said he determined several criminal charges should be brought against Brooks, including aggravated assault against a police officer, DUI, felony obstruction, robbery, and battery against a police officer.

“But before I was able to pursue the charges I was informed that Rayshard Brooks had died, negating the necessity for that portion of my investigation,” Hogan wrote.”

Had RB survived, we would be looking at a whole different scenario. Brooks would be the defendant, not officers Brosnan or officer Rolfe.

Well, at least some of the truth via this letter will be submitted at the bond hearing.
