Cop who was arrested in the death of Rayshard Brooks who DA said was witness for the State

So why us the police officer who shot Brooks more concerned about Brooks blood on him than whether Brooks was alive. In the video he was not concerned until he found out he was going to do his report at the homicide office. At that point he acts like he does not know why and then becomes concerned about Brooks in the video.

Not saying shooting was not justified. What I am saying is the video shot a lack of humanity within the Police department as if it's a normal thing to shot a human being.

Maybe because he was in shock that he just shot somebody. How would you react? What would you do? That cops shoes aren’t a pair that I wanna be in

Well considering brooks resisted arrest and stole a taser which puts the officers lives in danger, they shouldn’t feel remorse.

I saw a dumbass who didn’t deserve to die yet had he not resisted arrest it may not have happened

I saw cops not reading this guy his Miranda rights (if the video has not been edited) if video was edited I’m assuming his rights were read. I also saw two poorly trained cops when it pertains to restraints and takedowns

It’s a shite show all around

I would not be cooperating with anyone . Nothing was done wrong , by him or the other officer. The DA abused his power and used these guys as a political pawn for his bid to get re-elected . I sure hope this DA, and the whole city of Atlanta is sued over this abuse of power .

I haven’t seen the video you’re talking about but with all the HIV precautions and training they deal with,cleaning someone else’s blood is important. In those situations protocols say to treat ALL blood as if infectious.

Once the EMS take over, cleaning up the blood would be next priority.

Adrenaline in these situations can give you distorted views in the comfort of hind sight.

So basically, "I have no idea what the guy was thinking, but I am pretty sure I can assign a thought crime to him."

I would say a change in venue will probably happen as the DA was trying to poison the jury pool with things he knew were lies.

I am trying to decide if you are a troll or ignorant.

Troll answer is GFY.

Ignorant answer is that, in a field situation, you aren't required to Mirandize until you suspect a crime has been committed and/or the person is in custody. What is known as a Custodial Interrogation. Think about it, if you call the police to a run of the mill traffic accident or a barking dog call, they don't get out and Mirandize everyone at the scene. It is only AFTER they suspect or determine a crime may have been committed and that they are going to possibly arrest someone that Miranda becomes necessary.

In this case, they performed a Field Sobriety Test and, suspecting that BROOKS was intoxicated, they attempted to place him into custody. At which time they would have read him his Miranda Rights. The problem is they never got to that point because he started fighting. The other thing is that, especially in situations with an inebriated person, you don't Mirandize them until they are handcuffed. Because when you say the famous "You have the right to remain silent..." people know they are going to jail and those so inclined to do so want to fight. They will generally hold off on fighting until the handcuffs are out or the rights are read because they are holding out hope they are going to get away without an arrest.

The DA knows this and I can't fathom the reason that he raised this issue at the press conference because, even for a political hack, he knew that anyone that knows even a little about the law knew that was a stupid thing to say.

Being Mirandized is only necessary to be able to use his responses to questioning against him. If they don’t ask him any questions or care whether they can use his responses at trial, they don’t ever have to read him his rights. The judge will advise him of his rights at arraignment.
