Stated that video shows officer kicking Brooks while he is on the ground following the shooting. Video also shows one officer standing on Brooks shoulders following the shooting.

Did they show those portions of the video ?

What was the charge ?

Felony murder

 

[Reasonable & Just]

Just a reminder as we talk about riots...of who's doing what...

AJC - Wendy's Arson

There are people out there who have zero interest in justice, and in fact are likely trying to discredit those who ask for justice. This arson aside, I seriously doubt Mr. Brooks' death would have sparked riots, given his particular circumstances and the quick attention paid by authorities.

It's up to us to stop being played and continue to work together for reform.

No

11 charges for Rolfe

Well, if they aren't showing the video it's hard for us to understand IMO. But, if I were Atlanta LE, I would be looking elsewhere since the DA is acting prior to the GBI completing their investigation - it does not seem right to me

They just showed a photo of Rolfe kicking Brooks.

At least that's what it looks like

I keep waiting for the DA to admit that Brooks grabbed the taser.

he hasn’t done it yet.

This DA is prosecuting the case right now. He should have announced the chargers and answered some questions.

No they did not show any portion of the video yet regarding standing on him. Waiting on it. That guy with the mask down is a fool though....

Wants officers to turn themselves in by 6 pm

then I guess it is very good that his lawyer released that statement which does discuss it IMO.

apparently this is A-OK and righteous policy in Atlanta. *shrug* . I disagree, but clearly nobody in that room is worried about having just declared open season on all their police.

To me it looks like he is stumbling over him.

This is what I fully expected, so sad.

Felony murder plus ten other charges for Rolfe.

Did they show those portions of the video ?

I saw one poster showing officer standing on Brook's shoulder.

You will be waiting forever- the DA will not acknowledge that Brooks fought with the officers and shot a taser at one of them.

I am concerned, many LE friends and family.

I'm more scared to leave my house than ever.
Moo.

Why would the DA have the wife of the victim make a statement or have one made on her behalf. This isn't the trial, it's a charging statement.
