DA says he was 'just doing his job' by charging officers in death of Rayshard Brooks
As the district attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, Paul L. Howard Jr. says he attends a lot of funerals.
Tuesday, at the invitation of the Brooks family, Howard attended Rayshard Brooks' funeral, which was held to honor the late father of four, just one day after Father's Day.
In an interview with ABC News, Howard said seeing the family of Brooks at the service "magnified the hurt" he felt when he watched the video of Brooks' death.
Brooks was fatally gunned down by police in a Wendy's parking lot in Atlanta, Georgia on June 12.
"Because of our investigation, I had a chance to watch an extraordinary kind of interchange between him and two police officers, and it's almost like you got a chance to know something about him and his life just by watching [those] 41 minutes or so. And so I wanted to honor his death," Howard said.
