Rayshard Brooks was kicked, denied medical care: The stunning allegations against ex-Atlanta police
As Rayshard Brooks lay dying in a Wendy's parking lot — shot twice in the back — Atlanta police officers kicked him and stood on his body, according to Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard.
That was just one of the many detailed allegations Howard presented in a lengthy press conference Wednesday while announcing that Garrett Rolfe was being charged with 11 counts, including felony murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Brooks was shot by Rolfe on Friday night in the fast-food restaurant's parking lot after police responded to a call about Brooks being asleep in his car in the drive-thru lane. Brooks failed a sobriety test and officers tried to handcuff him. Videos from the scene show Brooks wrestling with two white officers and getting a Taser from one of them. Brooks aimed the Taser at the officers while running away.
But Howard listed example after example which he said contributed to finding Rolfe's actions against Brooks were criminal.
Rolfe knew the Taser that Brooks had "presented no danger" because it had already been shot twice, Howard alleged.
