A similar thinking (although opposite verdict) was emulated during OJ's trial.

if the guy who did not shoot a fleeing drunk in the back tells the truth why should he fear retribution?

He's no better than a gang thug ratting out one of his own to get off.

so you believe he will lie boco?

you really asking that? the drunk guy with a rap sheet and out on bond was running but turned his waist to point weapon at police as he was running doesn't make him a victim. It was his actions that caused his death, not the cops. The other cop was no doubt pressured and probably threatened with felony murder. I assume you don't know how DAs work.

my momma says the D.A. is the devil.

I'm also seeing reports that the second officers attorneys has released a statement saying his client IS NOT cooperating with the DA.

I hope he isn't.

does not cooperating mean he is telling the truth instead of the lie the d .a. wants or he i s telling the lie the other officer wants.

No one has answered yet as to why if he tells the truth he needs to fear retribution?

A man is dead because he resisted on what would have been a DWI charge stupid of him. A man is dead because a cop shot him over a DWI charge stupid of him. They had his name and his car they could have picked him up when he came to get his car out of impound and then they could have added assault of a police officer. They both did not think and ruined 2 lives because of it. No I am not a cop hater or a democrat.

He wasn’t shot over a DWI, it was the chain of events after that. This isn’t football where a flag on the play stops the action. lol

He doesn’t.

Why do you think he is lying then?

They both probly would like a do-over. One more than the other. Not a lot of time to sit and ponder the situation and make a decision.

Or is it the same mentality as a dope dealing prostitution ring running motorcycle gang? Once you put the patch on you back up anything another member does? ANYTHING

This story has been updated. 

Atlanta, GA —  The head of Atlanta’s police union confirmed Wednesday that officers from the Atlanta Police Department in Zones 3 and 6 walked off the job Wednesday afternoon.

Vince Champion, southeast regional director of the International Brotherhood of Police officers, said that police officers had stopped answering calls midshift, in response to charges against Officer Garrett Rolfe who is accused of murdering Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta.

“The union, we would never advocate this. We wouldn’t advocate a blue flu,” Champion said. “We don’t know the numbers. Apparently we’re learning that command staff are asking outlying counties for support and aren’t getting it.”

Decaturish has calls out to public affairs officers in Gwinnett, DeKalb and Cobb counties for confirmation. A message to the spokesperson for Atlanta Police was not immediately returned.

Zones 3 and 6 cover south Atlanta, where Rolfe killed Rayshard Brooks after a June 12DUI arrest turned into an altercation. Rolfe fired three bullets at Brooks as he fled with a taser in hand. Video of the shooting suggests Brooks pointed the taser at officers as he fled.

A protest the next day descended into vandalism and the arson of the Wendy’s restaurant where the shooting occurred. Police and state fire officials have offered $30,000 in reward money for tips leading to the arrest and prosecution of the arsonists.

Champion accused Paul Howard, Fulton county’s district attorney, of lying about what is happening in a press conference earlier today when Howard suggested that officer Devin Brosnan had turned state’s evidence and is testifying.

“The attorney for the officer said that’s not true two minutes later, and said he’s not pleading guilty and not offering state’s evidence,” Champion said.

This is a developing story and will be updated when more information is received.

 

Lying?

Who said he is lying?

You said hobbie , he doesnt need to fear retribution if he is telling the truth. You also said you hope he doesn't ever need backup.

So if he has to fear he will get no backup, but there is no retribution for telling the truth, it stands to reason you think he must be lying.

Its either that or the motorcycle gang comparison

Isn't the DA himself under investigation? Hasn't he stated in past courtroom procedures that a tazer is a lethal weapon?

Originals it would have been a DWI after resisting they would have added resisting and assault. Like I said they had his car and name they could picked him up later. Police need better deesculation training.
