ATLANTA: Prosecutors brought murder charges Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) against the white Atlanta police officer who shot Rayshard Brooks in the back, saying that Brooks was not a deadly threat and that the officer kicked the wounded black man and offered no medical treatment for over two minutes as he lay dying on the ground. Brooks was holding a stun gun he had snatched from officers and he fired it at them during the clash, but he was running away at the time and was 18 feet and 3 inches from officer Garrett Rolfe when Rolfe started shooting, District Attorney Paul Howard said in announcing the charges. “I got him!” the prosecutor quoted Rolfe as saying.
