re: Charges filed against officer that shot Rayshard Brooks

The jury is going to acquit him. I'm sure the DA is banking on being able to blame the jury instead of the mayor and himself when the officer is inevitably acquitted. Just political theater for a DA in a run off election. It is simple as that.

I am not a thin blue line always back the blue guy. In fact I think a lot of things need to be done to bring police accountability to the public's attention, and there's no shortage of good examples to demonstrate that (e.g. the Shaver shooting 
).
All that said trying to take a cop's weapon is a bad idea, and I think this shooting (Brooks) was justified.
Unfortunately for everyone it is these kinds of hills that BLM wants to die on that causes it lose ground on an issue that really could benefit everyone. If BLM had taken a broader stance against all police brutality and brought the real judicial systemic issues to light this would be a lot more effective.

Per Fox
They're actually charging an officer with aggravated assault for wrestling on the ground with a suspect who tried to run when he was being placed under arrest?

A second officer, Devin Brosnan, is facing three charges, including aggravated assault. Brosnan has agreed to testify in the case against Rolfe, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard Jr. said at a news conference.

This is just beyond ridiculous at this point.

I’m not bashing the officer here but in thoughts of how to reimagine the situation and maybe get a better outcome...
He’s non violent prior to trying to bolt. It’s just a DUI charge not a violent offense. Would better policy be to let the dude bolt and collect him later? You have his ID, you have his car, you have video of him passed out and failing the test.
Ramp up the charge for running so it’s not incentivized...
Maybe a different way to handle that and better protect both officers and citizens instead of getting into a wrestling match that’s dangerous for both parties plus people nearby

I hope so, but it’s so wrong to put this man through this.
I wish someone would open a gofundme for him, because he doesn’t deserve any of this.

Works both ways sometimes. Arbery case comes to mind. Absurd when it happens on either side.

It’s fricking insane. He fought them.
He punched one straight in the face.

Generally agree. And this isn’t the officer you make an example of, when there’s so many ugly situations.

Charge DA with lying and being an idiot. How do these clowns get elected in these cities

I haven't seen them attach the assault charge to the initial confrontation. If so, that's dumb as hell.
If he kicked the guy, like a vicious kick, after he was shot, that's another story, but I haven't seen any video of the post-shooting actions.

Yea a death penalty case is quite a bit here and I’m a firm believer that any shots fired by police should have thorough review. I’m not an expert on Atlanta pd policy but have to imagine he followed it pretty closely.

Based on his previous charges he's violent. He got that way with the quickness once he realized he was going back to jail for a long time. quote:

I guess in some make believe world it might work. In the real world you have a violent fricked in the head person running away. Who's to say he doesn't attack some random person, break into a house to hide?
And how do you picture that arrest going when the cops show up at his house. He would be waiting with a gun and the family could be put in danger.
Well that's assuming he goes back to his loving family and not to the hotel with his whore.

Ladies and gentlemen, we may be witnessing the tipping point.

Good point... Maybe that's what the new protocol will be....

We’ll let you make this decision in the seconds after a previously compliant suspect goes nuts, fights you and your partner, gets away with your taser, runs from you, and fires the taser at you while he’s running.

They needed to get him to throw his partner under the bus somehow, enter charges against him, voila
