Fulton County District Attorney Paul L. Howard, Jr. announced charges on Wednesday afternoon in the death of Rayshard Brooks last weekend at a Wendy’s restaurant in Atlanta.
Brooks was killed by police after resisting arrest, wrestling with the police, punching one officer in the face, stealing the officer’s taser and then firing on the officers.
DA Howard, Jr. says officials spoke to three witnesses and reviewed eight videos of the attempted arrest and shooting.
Eleven charges were announced including felony murder by the officer involved in the shooting of Rayshard Brooks.
And then he added this: Rayshard Brooks was never notified he was under arrest(?)
DA Howard added that Brooks was calm and cordial!
We must have been watching the wrong video.
It appeared Brooks fought with police, punched them in the face, stole their taser gun and fired on the police officers.
A second video of the shooting shows Rashard Brooks pointing the stolen taser gun at police.
