Garrett Rolfe, the Atlanta police officer fired after the killing of Rayshard Brooks last week, now faces 11 charges including felony murder, which could potentially lead to the death penalty, a Georgia district attorney announced Wednesday.
The fact that a District Attorney would bring charges against this police officer is ludicrous. I have watched every second of video of that encounter and both officers were treating him with respect up until he violently resisted arrest, fought with the officers and wrestled them to the ground and then took the officers taser. As he was running away, he turned and fired upon the officer. In any sane world, the officer was acting in self defense.
This isn't about this incident. This is about criminalizing every police officer that happens to have a violent encounter with a black man. This started with the Michael Brown case in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. Because of the media, and the false narrative sold to them, a case that was clearly self defense ended up with an officer being charged, his life pretty much ruined and a false flag being excepted as fact. "Hands Up Don't Shoot". It didn't happen. Even Obama's Justice Department, then headed by Eric Holder, said "Hands Up Don't Shoot" didn't happen and brought no charges.
The fact that a group founded because of a lie can cause such hysteria that a good police officer is having his life turned upside down and a Police Chief was forced to step down is nothing short of horrific.
The media, Rayshard Brooks family and their attorney is telling you all about Rayshard Brooks to set a narrative. Let me tell you what they aren't. Brooks appears to have had an extensive criminal record, which included violent criminal charges in Georgia. Brooks received a seven-year sentence in 2014 for charges and convictions of simple battery, cruelty to children, false imprisonment, family violence battery, receiving stolen property, criminal interference with government property, weapons charges, and obstructing a law enforcement officer.
The media hasn't told you that have they? Truth be told, he wan't really the wonderful family man they would have you believe.
