Former Atlanta Officer Charged With Felony Murder In Death Of Rayshard Brooks | MSNBC
Oh snap! The times they are a changin’
Nope. Not guilty is guaranteed. Supreme Court already decided this long ago. If you don’t know, then you will be in for a surprise
I guess it’s going to pay now to be a crook it’s not a race thing that guy asked for it he could’ve went and signed his self out of jail and be alive today it was all browns doing not the cops
@Oscar Deville trolls said the same thing about floyd nd amahd. You’re racist a.. Will be surprised
Tonie Maurice you are a fool if you think this case is the same as Floyd

@Wigg Licker 1st they will eat their own and destroy each other
When it starts with “fell asleep in the drive thru” and ends with “homicide by the police” one would think that maybe, just maybe, there’s something not quite working right. 🤔🤨
Thank you…..should have ended with drunk man spends night in jail. The End
*Drunk or sleeping, Brooks ended up real dead, shot by a policeman. It’s only right for that policeman to get life without a chance for parole.*
He was on parole for beating his kids. Now the kids got scholarship to college, they will just have to go there to get their degrees.
@MoD PR okay……does that mean they should have used deadly force.
He should have called ambulance when he could hardly wake him up, he should not have asked him to drive in that condition, not even to the nearest parking spot. Was he worried about Wendy’s profits?
Then the second cop should have told the first that he compromised the case by letting him drive …they could still be quarreling about that in the parking lot.
This cop’s future: “In here you the…”
Whoa! They literally threw the book at him!
@Owen Marble are those the crimes that he was being detained for?
@Fahim Ahmad Fought the police and shot at the police with a taser. Yeah a taser is not dangerous like a gun, but if used wrongfully, you can die !!!
*Satisfactorily at that too i might add since it was quite a THICK book.*
I don’t know how many of those are gonna stick though. Honestly, I’d be happy if he does 15 years in prison.
@frictionRx9 But it’s not murder or shooting someone in the back who’s running or kicking him after he’s already down. And firing shots at the car his friends are in.
Yea, I will always remember a black American woman and the love she showed to me in many ways!
Alright, now I’m really out.
*A*
Are you assuming all black women are the same because that would be racist. Perhaps you’re virtue signaling.
Going to be hard to get a jury in Atlanta not aware of pre-trial news conferences.
I am 1000% sure all the persons to served as juror in this case : will unambiguously and singularly vote for conviction ;as it relates to the heartlessness exhibited by officers after killing Brooks…
The same D. A. charged cops with assault with DEADLY weapon when they tased someone
@Paula Lewis Listen psycho, you don’t even know me. To call me a murderer for stating facts is just beyond the pale. If he hadn’t fought the police, he would be alive today. You fight arrests in a court of law, not by assaulting police officers.
Do you even live in reality or do you just see all police shootings as wrong and all those killed as innocent victims, regardless of facts?
@Abstract Thought🗣️ Argument? I don’t argue with fools🙄
@Ygh Huh I hope one day you are smart enough to realize how stupid you are.
@Abstract Thought Sphincter says what?
#Nope. They were charged with Aggravated Assault. Aggravated assault includes assault either assault with a deadly weapon; or an assault which did or could cause serious injury.
Again… 😢
Yeah, police are getting no respect these days.
So now an alleged criminal knows that by resisting arrest and running away that any officer that fires upon him is liable to potential felony murder charges.
This society protects criminals now more than law abiding citizens.
Drek the Democrat run cities are an absolute disgrace!
Good luck with zero police officers in your town Atlanta ! Cuz after this there going to be quitting in droves ! resisted arrest and stole the weapon and try to use a weapon on a police officer who fired to defend himself gives a s*** what he did after he was shot ! Even though that is the procedure they are taught ! Get ready for the crime wave Atlanta you’re going to get exactly what you deserve !
*Let them white cops resign in droves. GOOD RIDDANCE. Clean the swamp, start with a clean slate. I’m sure there are many more good people of all colors who can replace those spineless cops.*
The cop needs a raise and a promotion.
See it here first. With all the evidence in video, he will NOT be convicted.
Total bs, he pointed a weapon AT THE COP! what do you expect?! This is insane . Drunk, resisting arrest, then pointing a weapon at a cop
So the cops consider a taser NOT to be a “deadly weapon” when they use it on a civilian, but suddenly a taser is a deadly weapon when a civilian tries to use it on them. It’s always the same – the rules always change to fit their circumstances.
FLYNN no the D.A. Considered tasers a deadly weapon when he fired two cops for useing one on protesters that refused to leave a car by calling tasers a deadly weapon
Seriously…did they stop teaching cops how to fight?
The majority of these cops have military experience , well said
*Cops like it easy. Why fight if you can shoot.*
The cops did their job. What is the problem here. If you’re dumb enough to fight with the police and you take one of their weapons you should expect to die.
This is insane. I’m embarrassed by my hometown devolving into absolute lawlessness.
You can now steal a cop’s weapon, and he’ll be punished. Sheer insanity.
The weapon you a referring to is a taser, a none deadly weapon, get it through your head
You’re pathetic
@Don Lasky Non-deadly? Okay, I guess getting paralyzed by a taser and breaking your neck upon free-falling to the curb is not deadly at all. Just one of several possibilities.
Wow!! Cops get attacked, punched, and shot at and he gets arrested???
*YUPP. Especially if he MURDERED somebody. Lives matter, you know.*
No jury will incarcerate the cop, its a text book action in modern times.
