Two white people police officers who fired at him African American Rayshard Brooks in 2020, they were released yesterday from categories which had been recited to them. Rayshard Brooks, 27, succumbed to his injuries on June 12, 2020 in Atlanta after Officer Garrett Rolfe shot him following a confrontation.
Rolfi was charged with “homicide” and against his co-star Devin Brosnan for “assault and violation of his oath.”
Brooks’ death, a few weeks since his George Floyd in Minneapolis by another white police officer, sparked protests in Atlanta and led to the resignation of the city’s police chief.
The incident occurred after two officers were called to remove Brooks, who was sleeping in his car in the parking lot of a Wendy’s restaurant.
The intoxicated young man cooperated with officers for half an hour before the situation got out of hand when they tried to handcuff him. Brooks then grabbed one of the officers’ taser and tried to run. He turned the taser on Rolfie, who shot him twice in the back.
The prosecutor appointed specifically to this case, Peter Skandalakis, said yesterday that he had concluded that due to the ‘rapid turn of events’, the officer’s response was ‘objectively reasonable’ and that the charges against the two police officers should be dropped.
Lawyers for Brooks’ widow, as reported by APE-MPE, criticized this decision and announced that they intend to appeal to justice again, as reported by the local television network FOX5. For its part, the American civil rights organization NAACP requested that the case be examined by a jury.
Briona Taylor: Cop admits to forging arrest warrant that led to her death
Also, yesterday, in a separate case, one police officer admitted providing false information in order to obtain an arrest warrant; the execution of which led to the death of the African-American woman Briona Taylor.
Kelly Goodlett, who has now resigned from the police force, admitted that “she falsified’ along with another colleague the request for an investigation which was given to a judge for approval and that she then lied “to cover up her initial false statements”. She faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
On March 13, 2020, three police officers in Louisville, Kentucky’s largest city, broke into the home of 26-year-old Briona Taylor at night without knocking on the door and informing her that they were members of the police as part of a drug-trafficking investigation involving her ex-partner.
Her then-partner Kenneth Walker believed the house was being broken into by burglars and fired at them with a weapon that he legally possessed. Officers returned fire, and Taylor was shot about 20 times.
The death of the young woman had not attracted the attention of public opinion in the US until that of Floyd.
