And a whole lot of new, disgusting, info coming out...justifying those charges.
Not to even mention, the cop that didn't shoot is volunteering to testify...as a state witness. I'm curious to know, if anyone who originally thought this killing was justified...have now changed their minds? I'm going to go out on a limb here (just kidding, it's not really that hard to predict)...that very few will raise their hands. I hope, and would be happy...if I'm wrong though. More to come. ![]() |

Well, Ted Williams, a black, former D.C. homicide detective, and criminal attorney has already blasted the Atlanta Attorney General for overcharging the case. He thinks it will be difficult to convict the officer.

Of course there will be charges filed......pass the buck and let someone else say it was justified. No surprise.

And Ted Williams, paid commentator by Fox, should be believed over all of those who see it differently...because?
As far as being "overcharged," we'll see...as that is also arguable. I think that falls under the phrase..."throwing the book at them." 1. Brooks was shot in the back,TWICE, while running away and not being a deadly threat to the cop (not only is a taser not considered a "deadly" weapon, it was useless after being discharged twice). 2. Rolfe (the skinhead looking shooter cop) kicked Brooks...as Brooks was laying on the ground dying. 3. The other cop (Brosnan), stood on Brooks shoulder...as Brooks was laying on the ground dying. 4. Brosnan 'policing' the brass from the gun, before any attempt at rendering aid to Brooks...who was laying on the ground dying. 5. Rolfe crowing "I got him" after shooting Brooks (twice, in the back, as a reminder). 6. Brosnan is volunteering to be a state witness and step over that "thin blue line"...that has allowed all too many other LEO's in getting off. Knowing all of these facts, I predict it won't even go to court...but a plea deal will be worked out. Hopefully, if justice is served...Rolfe will serve a very long time in prison. ![]() I also predict, that there will be a concerted effort to obfuscate/divert/distract/insert "whataboutism"...into this issue/thread. ![]() But back to my question...has anyone (given the additional facts revealed today), changed from their original position? If not...why not? |

Seems like a common thread to all of these deaths is NOT COOPERATING with the police. Quit attacking cops, save your story for the judge, and everyone lives. There are approximately 60 MILLION interactions per year between police and civilians (over 16). Obviously, lots of people are cooperating, but some CHOOSE TO NOT COOPERATE. I wonder why?

Bottom line, there will be a trial, he will not be convicted, Atlanta will burn.

As someone who knows Ted personally and worked with him on several major cases in DC, I know you have no idea who Ted really is and just how wrong in your insinuation you are.

Well, scratch my #6 above...in Post #5.
![]() It sounds like Brosnan is NOT going to be cooperating. I wonder what happened? ![]() |

Common sense dictates that if you drive drunk, pass out in a fast-food drive-thru line, attack/physically assault and overpower TWO cops, then steal one of the cop's tasers and fire it at him... to a large extent, you own what comes your way. Just watched the video again and the police were very cordial. Mr. Brooks is the one who initiated and attacked the cops. He threw two punches at one of the officers. The attacked officer responded by firing his taser at Mr. Brooks. In what world is it okay to physically attack a police officer? Why is anyone possibly defending Mr. Brook's action? Like I said before... it's not a difficult concept - cooperate with the police, defend yourself in front of a judge, and everyone lives another day.

A bunch of previously unknown info came out today. That's why I asked what I did. A quick internet search and you should be able to find out...what those new facts are that were stated today. Or look in my Post #5 above...for some of them. Except my #6, which apparently...has now changed. ![]() |

Are we witnessing a trend of guilty by way of crowd pleasing.
Or is a person still entitled to be innocent until proven guilty. The DA's job is to prosecute. His job is to over charge to be sure there is something left to find guilt on. And for those who read more than was said into a post or reading between the lines the above does not portend guilt or innocence. |

It is an undoubtedly futile attempt to appease the violent rioting, looting criminal out of control mob. The police could be charged and tried but these charges are ridiculously over the top. When the shooting is found to be justified in a court of law the looting, rioting and other criminal behavior will come back even worse. This is an ill-conceived not well thought out tactic. Those in charge should stand firm but of course they will not which will eventually exacerbate the situation.
The cops involved in the grievous George Floyd homicide should be tried in a court of law but these guys were likely justified. It was a very different situation.
